Heidi contacted me for a great new challenge.
After our first conversation, whichwas initially on an informal level, we exchanged ideas on possible positions for my professional development and found the right fit.
Responses to my open questions were always very prompt and thorough.
Additionally, she really took the time to get to know me as a person, my ideas and desires, as well as my resume.
When it came to the more formal phase of an open position, I was particularly surprised and pleased by the desired self-presentation as a short interview, as it gave me the feeling that I could represent myself and not just be passed along as an interesting contact among many.
Due to the time difference, it was also possible to have conversations with her outside of traditional office hours, which was a huge advantage.
Even during conversations with the company, she was there for me and offered her support in a pleasant, non-intrusive way.
I am excited about the new opportunity that I have found for myself through Heidi.

Flora Luo - November 2019

Reviews

Throughout the years I have worked with many recruitment agencies worldwide but this is the first time that
I have been cooperating with an agency that uses sequences of video interviews snippets to expedite a candidate search. This allows me to review a so-called “interview trailer" with the potential candidate” from my office chair. I am working in a high-paced environment and time is a valuable thing. The ability to virtually determine if I want to “go into a 1st round” with simply one click has helped me save time, prescreen smoothly, and determine quickly which candidates to shortlist or not. Effortlessly and within two minutes, I have a fantastic overall impression, I can tune into a real interview scenario with the potential candidate and observe how the candidate responds to interview questions under pressure. Thank you, and I am looking forward to future cooperation with WIPS and the team.

What truly impressed me about Heidi, when we eventually joined forces on a variety of challenging projects, is that fact that - as Head Hunter and Recruiter - she CARES! She cares about people seeking for her assistance, she cares about the employers looking for talents and she cares about the successful career development of all the candidates she places. She is a ray of sun in a world where too often recruiters do not treat candidates with the respect they deserve. Heidi is an amazing individual that possesses all the qualities to take her business to the next level thanks to her wonderful personality, persistence, knowledge and great human approach. I recommend Heidi’s as the preferred head hunter to all professionals looking to enhance their careers and to all employers seeking for the right talent for the right job.

Working in Paradise!

I quit my previous job to find out what I truely want in my life. I am thankful for what I learned from my previous company and for the people who supported me throughout the years. While working partime I was also looking for my next full time job. I must say it was not that easy as I did not experience going for job interviews for such a long time. After Heide, the Managing Director of WIPS worldwide International Replacement wrote me in Linkedin; I was at first suspicious if I should write her back as I did not believe that she was looking for someone like me. Normally I would be the one finding jobs and not the other way around

Anyway we exchanged messages and I loved the way things went and I build up a very fast trust in her. It was not only because she helped me personally gained my self confidence but she also took her time and did not rush things.

I am now working in Paradise, and I do the things that I love. Thanks to Heidi I was able to find the suitable job at my first try. I cannot be more greatful and thankful. Diffinenately a trustworthy person and company.

Heidi is one of the most helpful Agents I ever worked with.....and I have been working with so many before. But being Professional is not always the most important things, it takes more to be a Good Agent... a good Sense and Intuition and most of all being present for the People she represents,and she has it all. I can always feel she is there for all the matters or issues that has to be attended. Very keen on the details and all the info she is giving and receiving,in our days that’s really RARE. I do appreciate all Heidi has done for me and I am sure I will continue to work with her I do trust her entirely......I strongly recommend here to every one in this business I do recommend her to my Friends too.
