What Our Clients Say About Us
“Frederique is an excellent recruiter, top international development professional, and incredible asset in helping to secure impressive candidates. She recently supported a high priority COP recruit where her sourcing enabled us to finalize the role with a great candidate before the release of the solicitation. Beyond just bringing in great candidates, Frederique got them excited about the opportunity and our organization. Many of the candidates we spoke with were interested specifically in this opportunity and our organization because of their conversation with Frederique. I am so thankful to be able to work with her. “
Finding a strong talent acquisition partner is harder than it sounds. Frederique conducted senior level searches for myAgro, as well as led our TA work for roughly a year, and she delivered. She runs a search the right way — structured process, strong sourcing, real networks, and a genuine sense for quality. She doesn't flood you with candidates; she brings you the right ones.
What makes Frederique exceptional isn't just technical skill, though she has that in abundance. It's that she listens. She took the time to understand myAgro's context — a social enterprise operating across West Africa, with a specific culture and mission orientation — and translated that into her outreach and screening. The candidates she surfaced were calibrated to what we actually needed, not just what looked good on paper.
I'd also simply say: she's a pleasure to work with. Reliable, dedicated, and professional in every exchange. In a role where you're often navigating ambiguity and pressure together, that matters more than people acknowledge. I recommend Frederique's services without hesitation and would engage her again.
"Frederique did an excellent job sourcing relevant candidates with short notice for a fairly specialized research director position we were advertising. In several weeks we had a short list of interesting candidates that helped broaden our pool."
“We found that we received excellent service, very efficient and responsive to our needs. We are happy to recommend your service”
“Having a really great proposal recruiter is AMAZING!!!! It is such a game changer”
“Driven, fast, excellent intuition on people, nice sense of humor, good listener, get stuff done, and with quality”
Frederique is incredibly professional and committed on all her searches. Her extensive experience in the international NGO sector helps her to quickly understand the competences and skills needed for key roles as well from her vast global network and beyond.
