Candidate Testimonials

  • I found ​Aardvark Swift to be very diligent in providing me with accurately targeted and high-quality roles that aligned perfectly with my skill set and career goals (I was pretty specific as to where and what I was available for!). Their 'swift' service and the ease of working with them and their recruiter made them an invaluable partner when the call to find a new challenges arose. The culture fit they prioritize in their placements is commendable, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommended using them when you're looking to change roles!

  • ​Using Aardvark Swift was my first experience with a recruiter, safe to say it made the whole job search run a lot smoother - having one person rooting for me and supporting me with the search. I didn’t really imagine that I’d end up with multiple offers, let alone a fantastic offer from my top choice. The advice and communication was excellent and really appreciated. I was quite nervous moving on from my existing role, but the fact you kept in touch and provided updates regularly really settled my nerves. I’m absolutely loving the new role, it’s amazing and the team and the project are super, it's been a massive leap forward for my career too, so in summary, thank you very, very much!

  • ​Chris is one of the most dedicated, enthusiastic and driven recruitment agents I have worked with, and a great guy to boot!I've been connected to Chris for many, many years now and he has always been on-hand and readily available to jump on a call to discuss any possible employment concerns or new opportunities that have come up. Chris has also repeatedly risen to the challenge of finding new job opportunities for myself when I've needed support. Chris's communication is stellar; from daily sync-ups to keep everyone in the loop with the latest roles and developments to interview preparation and follow-up calls to ensure candidates are happy and to tackle any questions that come up. One stand-out example occurred a couple of years ago when I was looking to leave a studio. Within a two month period, Chris set-up a wide range of interviews for roles that were perfectly fitted to my background and experience, all great opportunities...I would have been happy to accept any! He also contacted other companies that may not have essentially had any roles available at the time, to see if they would be interested in my availability.In the end, the job I took was one of the best industry roles I have ever worked in and I wouldn't have been aware of the role if it wasn't for Chris.Chris's drive and commitment to finding the best-fitting roles for people is second to none, one of the most tried and trusted recruiters out there.I would recommend Chris to any fellow or future employees in a heartbeat!

  • ​It really doesn’t matter where you are, Athina is a perfect example of how the perfect job can find you! Our Commercial team was looking for candidates who matched the precise skillset that Ubisoft were looking for. Athina ticked all of the boxes, and when we reached out to her she was travelling across Australia at the time! This is her first role within the games industry and she’s doing great.
