“Steve is a solid HR leader who is very responsible, professional and full of passion. He is always looking after the people and having their interest at heart, so that they can perform at their maximum capacity and returning best value to the corporation.  A genuine team player with a great sense of humour and “can-do” attitude. I would always be ready and honoured to have him as a SWAT team member in any mission, under any condition. Under his charge, the Asia Pacific management team worked through many different situations and we enjoyed his energy level that multiplied through his team even under very difficult circumstances. He won many hearts in our team and was awarded the honour of “Who, Cares Wins” medal for his achievement in HP PSG human capital contribution”

"I worked with Steve at Genuine People as I needed help to source for a strong Head of HR for India. I am aware Steve had worked in that market for ESPN and HP. What Steve did was more than just sending resumes to me, like most recruiters do. Although it was a contingent assignment, he took the time and effort to send me a summary of all the people that he had spoken to and of which ones, who and why he thought the shortlisted candidates were worth considering. I relied on his summary a great deal as they are succinct and helps sieve out the unnecessary information you often find in reports. The real value Steve provided helped in coming to a conclusion as to who was the most suitable candidate for the role. In addition, Steve was very fair in his assessment and very good in selling my company to the candidates, without a lot of help from me. That saved my time too. Steve possesses a good understanding of my business and the challenges we face. Steve helped in negotiating the final package and I believe it is a win-win and more importantly everyone in the equation was happy. Steve's reference checks were also very candid and gives a different perspective that helps us to more clearly understand the candidate in more detail. Overall, I recommend and will use his services again as I believe Steve possess the skill set that is grossly missing in most consultants in the business."

"Steve was a colleague of mine at HP. He was one of the smartest and most creative HR professionals I have known. He was a great partner and was highly regarded by all who knew him."

"Steve has been instrumental in ensuring we secure an HR Manager that can develop and implement our HR priorities and contribute at an Executive Team level. He has taken the time to fully understand our business, our challenges and our priorities going forward to ensure he only recommends candidates that will fit well with our plans moving forward. He ensured we had a broad pool of candidates and had positively represented our organisation and the role to all candidates we met. He has provided sound and practical advice throughout the process and actively participated at every stage of the interviews. I will definitely use Genuine People in the future and have no hesitation in recommending them to others"
