About
Founder, Headhunter & Director
I wrote songs and promoted artists before I ever read a resume. Then I sold tech in the Netherlands, recruited cleared engineers for BAE Systems in the US, and learned what "hard to fill" actually means.

Recommendations
I highly recommend working with Natalia as a candidate, and I would certainly retain her at my company in the future for help with staffing critical technical and leadership positions!
Natalia and her team did a great job placing talented engineers in Pridis. We were able to expand our business, take more contracts knowing that Natalia is capable providing talents. I recommend Natalia and the entire Axe Talent team for any technical hiring needs in Europe.
Unlike other talent search people, I find Natalia, highly professional, organised and person with honest and clear communication. I really enjoyed in working with Natalia and I would definitely recommend her to anyone, who are looking for a new opportunity in their career.
