Testimonials

B.S. Nagesh

Vice Chairman

Shoppers Stop

"I have known RMC and Alex (Leftwich) for more than a decade. Although we have done only two senior recruitment through RMC, both the positions were game-changers for Shoppers Stop as a company. Our buying & merchandising director, Keith Dunn, was very instrumental in setting up the process and training our people in good merchandising practices.

What I like about Alex and his team at RMC is that they are very hard working, dedicated and thorough in their research and approach to head hunting. With Alex based out of India, they further establish their credentials of wanting to understand the Indian retail scene, Indian clients' needs and, of course, the Indian employees. With their base in India they are able to genuinely explain to expats the Indian work culture and living conditions which definitely eases out the recruitment process.

I will have no hesitation in recommending RMC for retail recruitments."

Francis McAuley

International Director

Debenhams

"I have known James Logie and Alex Leftwich of RMC for probably over 25 years. Firstly, as a pragmatic, well connected recruitment company with an excellent grasp of the current talent available in the market place and secondly, and more recently, as a company who can make introductions in chosen International markets where their network stretches.

RMC were instrumental in Debenhams identifying, signing and opening in Azerbaijan and I look forward to working with them in the future on other new markets."

Arabian Centres (Fawaz alHokair Real Estate)

"Fawaz AI Hokair Real Estate is one of the largest Retail Real Estate Developers / Managers in the Middle East, representing 11 major properties and approximately 600,000m² GLA. We are also an affiliate of Fawaz AI Hokair Retail, the regions largest fashion retail company, representing over 60 international brands (including Inditex and GAP) through 1,200 retail units.

We have been conducting recruitment in association with RMC continually for 3 years now, and have successfully interviewed and recruited some of the premier talent from the international market. It has been our experience that RMC has been able to source and deliver senior management resource from around the world, predominately from Europe, in line with our specific requirements and on a timely basis.

RMC, under the guidance of James Logie, took efforts to understand the Middle East marketplace, have visited and researched the environment and been able to judge the suitability of candidates to a finite level, ensuring efficient use of time and resources in finding appropriate candidates.

It is my considered opinion that in my eight years tenure in the region that RMC has been the most diligent, and thereby the most successful with our organisation in meeting the groups needs, and would therefore, without reservation, recommend their services to others."

Lionel Stanton

Chief Operating Officer

Future Group

"RMC found me through their research efforts. I found them to be probably the best recruitment team that I have had the pleasure to work with, both from the client and candidate perspectives. They go to great trouble to match client brief with candidate experience and skills. In other words they do a quality job properly, they are consultants who have worked at the coalface, not the modern scatter gun approach you get from the agencies.

From the candidate viewpoint they brief you well. On an overseas assignment (India is seriously overseas!), they prepare you well, and then continue to make sure that you are OK even after you have been in the assignment for some time, and continuously throughout, not forgetting you when you have finished. The client gets a good appointment, the candidate is not alone, there is always a friendly voice and good advice at hand if things get tricky. A very professional team."

HR Director

Colin's Jeanswear | Eroğlu Holding

"We would like to thank the team at RMC, they share the same goal, to find the right person for the job and have helped us achieve this on Head of Merchandising position. They acted efficiently in obtaining relevant details from us and prepared a short list of quality candidates. In every way they were pleasant to do business with and their input has made our selection process more streamlined.

After helping us to find a suitable candidate they continued to work hard on our behalf until our chosen individual was appointed and we would have no hesitation in both using their services again and also in recommending them to others."
