    It was such a pleasure getting to work with Travillian! From the beginning, they were very personable, and really took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for in a candidate. Travillian had great communication and set up weekly Teams meetings to ensure we would all be able to connect. In between those meetings, Travillian had great email communication and was always very responsive when we had a question or needed something. They were very respectful of our hiring process and helped coordinate those efforts with our candidate, which led to a great experience for him. Overall, a delight to work with! Would love to work with Travillian again in the future if the opportunity arises.

        Working with Travillian was simple, entertaining and extremely productive. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the process, but the end result exceeded expectations. All evidence to date suggests that Travillian delivered and they did so in less than 3 months. The Travillian team listened attentively and patiently. They sold the Bank highlighting our “unconventional” culture. He didn’t waste my time with unsuitable candidates and ultimately unearthed our unicorn.

            The Travillian team took pains to understand the bank’s needs. The position we sought could’ve been filled by candidates with a broad range of qualities, adding significant complexity. However, after much hard work, we decided to focus more on the top of the talent spectrum. Once I was clear on my version of the optimal candidate, Travillian presented stellar candidates. The first candidate was so good we didn’t need to speak with the others. Three months after onboarding, I can’t imagine a better fit.
