Testimonials

What strikes me upfront about PSS – R&B is the sheer sense of professionalism that has been embodied in their culture. It is visible right from your first interaction with the firm. The way they handle each requirement, gives you a sense of their rich experience, professionalism and client centricity. It has been truly a great experience working with them.

PSS-R&B has a rich legacy of delivery and a global scale that few other firms can match. Their reach allows clients to execute global requirements with ease, creating an atmosphere of confidence and trust.

In this era of globalization, few firms can match your talent acquisition needs. I am happy to say that PSS- R&B is at the forefront of them all!

In my over 25 years of a meaningful Professional relationship with Personnel Search Services and Ray & Berndtson, I have found them to be a firm that is extremely results driven, client-centric and long-term relationship oriented. There is a genuine desire to understand client specific needs, culture, style of working and desired outcomes and in their shortlisting of prospective candidates a high degree of filtration is applied at their end itself. This ensures a far better utilsation of Client time, quality of effort and speed of execution. I have found Mr Mario Lobo and his team to be of unimpeachable integrity, strong work ethic and a genuine passion for Client success. There have been occasions when were about to close on a prospective candidate, but PSS has come back and dissuaded us from doing so, due to some adverse information during background checks! Similarly, several instances have reinforced my confidence in them as a team and has created a bond that goes beyond a mere Professional engagement. I have found Mario’s views on the Industry, hiring practices and the buoyancy in specific sectors as a good bell weather of the Indian Economy!

My overall experience of PSS-R&B has been excellent. Speed of delivery, meticulous research, involvement and the ability to effectively counsel, negotiate and close have been what I have experienced of them. Through this, PSS helped me close the President of Sales in my previous organisation, a critical position which was open for a long time until PSS handled it and brought it to a close.

An over 35 years of legacy as India’s first Executive Search firm based on a strong set of values, a professional approach combined with an entrepreneurial mindset has made the difference.

PSS-R&B are trust worthy and dependable partners from whom one gets assured results and who present only those candidates who are likely to make a big positive difference to the business.

We recently had to fill Senior Executive positions (COO and Vice President) for USV and the first name I thought of was Mario and PSS because of their connection with the industry, service orientation and ability to understand the Client’s requirement. Mario and the team spends time to understand what exactly would be a right fit and PSS  makes the Client think of new ways of looking and assessing talent. I am happy to say that the new hires we have done through PSS have been yielded the desired results to USV. I thank Mario and his team for their services and look forward to working with them in the future too.

PSS has helped us close several positions. They are quick to respond (between sharing the job description and sharing relevant profiles) and immediately provide a list of suited candidates. PSS is aggressive in finding the right candidate and in closing the position quickly. Moreover, the do not rely solely on database driven selection services.

The deep knowledge and information that the consultants of PSS have in their domains is impressive and enables them to close niche and difficult searches.

The understanding of my needs and customized support that PSS Consultants have extended every time is truly appreciated. It saves so much of my time and energy. For eg: I was looking out for a C&B Head for my company and within 1 hour of my meeting, my PSS Consultant could understand my needs and also the cultural and behavioral attributes I was looking for. This resulted in a quick and quality closure of the position.

PSS maintains a constant connect with their Client which is great.  I have worked with them in my previous organisation and choose to continue working with them in my new organisation as well.

For the last 8 – 9 years PSS has been associated with me through my present organisation Naprod and through my earlier companies like Lafarge, Damac Properties Dubai & TUV India. I would say it’s been a great journey together, as the PSS team specially comes across as thorough professionals with functional expertise. Their diversified reach in terms of industries is I believe one of the important elements of their services.

I strongly believe that what differentiates PSS from other Executive Search firms is their “PEOPLE”. The required expertise, professional skills, relationship building and transparency can be seen together in one team. It has been wonderful experience to interact with them.

If you are looking for a Real Business Partner and not just a Recruitment Consultant then get connected with PSS.

“We had retained the Executive Search Services of PSS for a critical and urgent global Lifesciences position. The requirement had its share of complexities as the ideal candidate needed to be a person with a techno-commercial background and a strong global Lifesciences experience. In delivering this assignment, PSS had to keep in mind the standards and requirements of IFC, which is a part of the World Bank Group. The team at PSS was able to get an accurate understanding of our needs and was able to present a wide choice of quality candidates from India, US and other countries, all within the set timelines. They were thorough in assessing, presenting and recommending the candidates in the most professional manner. They were highly engaged throughout the process and ensured a smooth transition of the selected candidate. We thank PSS for their services and look forward to working with them in the future.”

At Nestle Skin Health, we have had a long and successful association with PSS. PSS has been our search partners and have worked on multiple leadership assignments few quite niche ones. PSS, esp. Feelix and his team has a deep understanding of the Pharmaceutical sector and understands the nuances of the roles well. We wish PSS all the very best and hope to continue to build our partnership stronger.

The best part of working with PSS is that unlike my experience with other firms, I know the actual resource who is working on the project and in most cases that is the person with the relevant experience and understanding of the account and background. It makes life much easier because there is a clear understanding and the results reflect the same. PSS- R&B has a first hand knowledge of the market which is built on personal associations with senior people over years of networking.

PSS has been our one of the most dependable search partners over last few years. Mid to Cxo levels are their forte and we have been able to close many positions in record time as they understand the “Transformational qualities” that we are looking at most leaders . Also the ownership of closure is never delegated to junior researchers , the Top leadership team actively gets involved from “understanding of the role” to “successful onboarding”. Most leaders we have hired not only settled well also have been able to show early results and excellent cultural syncing.

PSS has always been trusted hiring partner for us.
They have very good reach and connect with candidates across all levels/functions/geographies.
PSS team understands the job specs very well and are able to fetch right candidate in least possible time.
Happy sourcing with PSS!!!
