 I have worked with Chris Reid since 2010 and come to know him well over that time both as a professional and a person. My trust in him is implicit and I highly recommend engaging with Chris to either source your next great talent hire or to work with him to support your own career progression.

 I have worked with Chris Reid since 2010 and come to know him well over that time both as a professional and a person. My trust in him is implicit and I highly recommend engaging with Chris to either source your next great talent hire or to work with him to support your own career progression.

Chris comes at things from a different angle making him unique in my professional experience. His focus on the person, their values and culture fit - as well as their inherent skills and experience - goes deeper and adds additional valuable layers to his recruitment process compared with your garden variety recruiter who simply plays the numbers game. I have successfully recruited over twenty staff through him over the years.

As a recruit myself Chris has supported me into career changing roles, and is helping me in my current search for my next leadership role. His insight into the recruiter mindset and his professional coaching on my messaging and approach to the market has provided me with new tools regarding a structured recruitment process and systems approach. Chris has also fine tuned my mental approach to candidacy and how best to qualify and respond to potential new roles. Essentially he has become my personal coach and mentor which is proving invaluable.

If you want to take a differentiated, best fit, value driven approach to either recruiting or being recruited - I highly recommend working with Chris.

 Chris is an exceptional recruiter and easily one of the best I’ve worked with. What I admire about Chris’s approach is that he prioritises finding good matches. He gains a deep understanding of a candidate’s skills and aspirations, and will only approach them with opportunities where there is the potential for strong alignment and mutual benefit.

Chris also goes out of his way to help candidates prepare, provide them with feedback, and keep them informed throughout the process. In addition to his prompt communication and responsiveness, he demonstrates a level of diligence and professionalism that is uncommon in his field.

If you’re a senior leader in tech and interested in opportunities that are a genuinely good fit, Chris is an excellent person to connect with.

I approached Chris a few weeks back looking for a job in the market and I was immediately blown away with his interaction skills and the way he handled the call to the extent that I was absolutely sure I was heading in the right track with the right recruiter. Chris was instrumental in getting me the role during which time he constantly communicated the status quo and ensured he can do everything in his ability for a smooth experience. 


It was an absolute pleasure Chris and looking forward to a long term professional and personal relationship with you. A true legend.

 I have had the pleasure of working with Chris Reid since 2013, and I can confidently say that his recruitment skills are unparalleled. Over the years, I have interacted with Chris both as a job seeker and as a hiring manager, and his professionalism and expertise have consistently stood out.

Chris’s attention to detail and his ability to identify the right candidate for the right role are truly exceptional. In my professional career, I have engaged with numerous recruiters, but none have matched the level of accuracy and precision that Chris brings to the table. He has an innate ability to understand the nuances of a role and the culture of an organization, ensuring that every placement is a perfect fit.

Thanks to the resources and candidates Chris recommended, I was able to build high-performing teams in two different companies, which significantly contributed to their success. Additionally, Chris played a pivotal role in my own career growth. With his guidance and support, I successfully transitioned from junior-level roles to senior-level engagements, landing opportunities that were instrumental in shaping my career trajectory.

What makes Chris even more remarkable is how quick, easy, and flexible he is to work with. He is always responsive, approachable, and willing to go the extra mile to meet the needs of both candidates and hiring managers. His adaptability and commitment to delivering results make him a trusted partner in the recruitment process.

I wholeheartedly recommend Chris Reid to anyone seeking a recruiter who combines expertise, efficiency, and a genuine passion for connecting talent with opportunity. He is, without a doubt, one of the best in the business.

This was the result of his large network, efficient communication, and the support he dedicates himself to deliver. For him, recruitment is a service rather than a sell.
It is the recipe of talent, professionality and personality that makes it so easy to deal with him.

 I am incredibly grateful to Chris for his exceptional support and guidance throughout my job search in New Zealand. As someone moving from America, this was my first experience working with a recruiter for job placement, and Chris made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

  I recently had the opportunity to attend Chris Reid’s Growth Mindset Workshop, and I found the session to be incredibly informative and insightful. Chris delivered a well-structured and engaging workshop that not only introduced the foundational concepts of growth mindset but also provided practical strategies for applying these principles in both personal and professional contexts.


His ability to create a safe and interactive learning environment encouraged meaningful reflection and open discussion. The content was thoughtfully tailored to our organisational needs, with a strong emphasis on resilience, adaptability, and innovation. I particularly appreciated the focus on overcoming imposter syndrome and using feedback as a tool for growth—topics that resonated deeply and offered immediate relevance to our day-to-day work.


Chris’s expertise and facilitation style made complex psychological concepts accessible and actionable. I left the workshop with a renewed perspective and a clear set of strategies to foster a growth-oriented mindset within my team. I would highly recommend this workshop to any organisation looking to cultivate a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and high performance.

The most impactful moments during the workshop were the break out groups which really gave everyone the chance to explore the topic in depth.  In the weeks that followed the team were discussing the key messages and ‘things to try’, recognising we could benefit from applying the workshop learnings in both our professional and personal lives.

 I found the growth mindset workshop to be immensely engaging and practical. You bought a new perspective, offering actionable strategies and realistic processes that we as a team could relate to and apply to our daily life - both personally and professionally. I especially appreciate the honest acknowledgment of the challenges in balancing a process-focussed mindset with the realities of working in a profit-driven environment. 


Since the session, I have noticed a shift in how some of our team are approaching and communicating challenges. We have started adopting "...yet"; as you mentioned in the workshop, language is powerful and this has sparked meaningful conversation across the leadership team on how we can continue to model and foster a culture of growth. 


The workshop was a valuable experience that has had a lasting impact. Thank you again for sharing your unique point of view and content with the team.
