In Pacific International, we found a reliable partner to support us in this challenge. They have proven to bring the mission of Enstall (formerly the Esdec Solar Group) to life for potential candidates, match them with the right positions, and make them enthusiastic to join us. We gave them complex assignments for senior technology positions in different regions and they delivered every time on their commitments. The Pacific team is very engaged, capable, and nice people to work with, they match our company culture which is probably the best foundation for our cooperation and collective success.

Pacific’s ability to listen and understand our business needs & challenges and co-elaborate solutions has been tremendous. Current market conditions are challenging, we count on Pacific to continue help us attract the best of the best.

Magali Eyraud Corporate HR Leader, Manufacturing Excellence, Owens Corning

Our experience with Pacific was very positive and unique. Senior and complex roles in a specific niche seems to be just another day for them. Their process is very thorough and all candidates we have been presented with were relevant and suitable to the role. No time wasted, fast search and turn around. An Executive Search that initially seemed to be hard, painful and long, turned out to be pleasant, fast and successful with them. I’m very satisfied with their support and looking forward to working with Pacific again.
