What our candidates say

Meera Venugopal

It has been a great experience working with George Barnstable while I was searching for my job. He was pleasant to talk to, patient, and has an energetic personality at all times and a good listener. George was well prepared and knowledgeable about the job profile before we interacted. George had commendable skills to compare my work experience with the requirements of the job opportunities to give me a better idea of the options at hand. What I really appreciated was his follow up with my interviews, sharing excellent tips on interviews, suggestions for improvements, when required.
I am certain his skills will be a great asset for job seekers as well as for IAC. Wishing him the best of  luck and the very best in his future assignments!

Sof Jabbar

Sheena was amazing throughout the whole recruitment process. She kept me updated every step of the way and was on call to answer all my questions. I would definitely recommend working with her and I will definitely be keeping in touch for the future. Many thanks again for all your help and advice.

Jacob Vibetti

IAC, and in particular Sheena Dattani’s professionalism, commitment and overall approach is exemplary. I had the pleasure of being placed by Sheena, and the process could not have been smoother. After establishing my requirements, appropriate potential roles were identified, and invaluable support provided as I went through the interview process. I was impressed further with Sheena’s impartial advice when deciding on an offer. I could not have hoped for the process to have gone better, and this is in large part owed to Sheena’s input. I would recommend her twice if I could!

Prianca Hanoomanjee

It was a pleasure to work with Sheena. She has been the best consultant I have ever worked with. She is a great listener, making sure that she understands my needs in order to find the best fit for me. During the entire hiring process, she was constantly in touch and also always available as a thought partner. I highly recommend Sheena.

Usman Khan

Sheena Dattani – Professional Services Manager: A professional to the core, Sheena is very good at what she does. She was very approachable and was always enthusiastic about the opportunities she brought to the fore. Her personality allows you to immediately get comfortable, letting her guide you through the topics to be covered with the prospective employers. During the interview process Sheena was readily available for help and support, through phone, email or meetings in person, taking the process through to the first day of the new job. I would definitely recommend her as a recruitment consultant.

Titi Namwinga

Sheena Dettani is very personable, professional and genuine in the way she worked with me to help me secure my role. She found me a great team to work with. I would recommend her as she listens to your needs and helps you secure your role not just to any team but a team you can fit in with. And follows up to see how you’re settled.
