"Orbition was recommended to us. Always a great start. I can only now recommend them to others myself. Orbition is more than a recruiter; they bring their own deep sector expertise and knowledge to the party. For us, they were a guide through a challenging and nascent market getting to the real need, finding the right people, and matching role, organization, and candidates perfectly.
We engaged them half way through a process in which we were looking to resolve a new and key strategic role in our business. It was important to us to get this right, and get it done. Orbition did all of this and more. They listened. They heard our requirements as we set them out. But more than this, they spent time understanding our objectives and our business a little more. They heard our requirements but recognised we needed something different. They guided us and corrected our course. Orbition identified people with the right expertise and who would also fit us. Any company hiring, and any candidate taking a step into the unknown, can trust Orbition to look after them.”

"I’m absolutely delighted with the executive search Orbition has recently led for ENGINE. It was a pleasure from start to finish thanks to their knowledge of the market, network of people, and hard work. The search was for an important senior hire within our data and digital transformation consultancy. We needed someone who was technically strong across data, analytics, technology, strategy and execution, and a good people and commercial leader; not an impossible list but a challenging one. Orbition understands this landscape and there are many different types of candidates with different strengths and weaknesses based on experience and Orbition was able to produce a short shortlist of people, all with the right backgrounds. I’d recommend Orbition to anyone hiring these skillsets and look forward to working with him again.”

“We worked with Orbition whilst growing our senior data team at Profusion. I would highly recommend working with them. They filled some critical roles for us including our Head of Data Engineering and Data Strategist – both are thriving. Orbition really took time to get to know us before working with us, which meant I was confident they would really represent the breadth of what Profusion does, our culture, and values to engage candidates. They really understood the balance of attributes we were looking for, both technical and commercial, and worked very hard in a competitive market to find us the right candidates. We are a small business, and the upfront retainer made us a little nervous but I am so glad we went for it and invested in this search – it’s by far the best experience I’ve had with a recruiter recently. Orbition is very passionate and really takes time to build a community within data which is a pleasure to be part of. If you work with the Orbition team, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.”

“We engaged with Orbition for a package of four roles across a number of hard-to-recruit disciplines at the mid-senior level (where there is the strongest demand currently). The nature of the roles, and the budget available, meant that they weren’t easy to fill but Orbition continued to provide quality candidates and was very supportive throughout, liaising effectively between us and the candidates to ensure that the internal overhead was minimized. Persistence aside, where Orbition really stands apart from the market is in their in-depth knowledge of the different disciplines, and sub-disciplines, within Data and of the types of experience and temperament that would be of best fit. This is far from typical and made our engagement so much more effective. I’d highly recommend Orbition to any D&A team that has a breadth of needs in this space.”
