Corporate Lawyer
Rob is a great legal recruiter. He has in-depth familiarity with the legal job market in China and is also very professional and personable. I enjoyed working with him very much and would highly recommend him to others.

Olivia Kung, Founding Partner
Wellington Legal
I guess I’m one of the very few people who have experienced Rob’s expertise from both sides, from finding me a great job upon my return to Hong Kong to now finding talented colleagues and staff for my firm. He managed both sides perfectly. Rob knows exactly what suits me and what I am looking for. Without him, my firm would not have been able to expand so quickly. The people he has recommended fit perfectly into the team. Thank you, Rob, for your efforts, I really appreciate it.
