Ziflow

Ryan Dunagan, VP of Marketing

Krzysztof has been an amazing partner and resource in helping me building out the marketing and creative function at Ziflow. He takes the time to get a strong grasp of the roles I'm looking to fill and provides an equally positive experience for candidates. I cannot recommend his services and skill-set enough.

Kris played a pivotal role in helping me build a marketing creative team in Poland. His work was nothing short of stellar.

I highly recommend Kris for his remarkable talent acquisition skills and deep understanding of SaaS roles.

Creative team for Pathlock

4 employees hired Product Marketing ManagerWeb DeveloperGraphic DesignerMotion DesignerPolandUnited States

We were hired by the CMO of a US based SaaS cybersecurity company. They needed to rebuild their website (one of the product shifts). We sat down together and figured out what resources they would need in terms of staff. We wanted to make it as efficient and effective as it could be. Eventually we hired a Creative Designer, Motion Designer and a Web Developer (the hiring process took less than a month!). They were able to rebuild their website (their conversion rate went way up) and also produce a ton of great quality marketing materials for a cost of - 120k USD/year (fully loaded!)

ProofHQ

Company website
Manny Martin-Morrissey, Director of Product

Krzysztof is one of the best recruiters I've worked with. He screened and spoke to a very large number of people for roles that we were working on, and came up with some excellent candidates that satisfied demanding criteria. He challenged me when he felt that I'd overlooked someone good, and validated my thoughts post interview. On top of this he has an excellent manner and is a pleasure to work with – I highly recommend him.
