The entire process ran smoothly, quickly, and proved most effective: Joanna made herself available to me 24/7

Joanna and her team were quick to grasp what we were looking for in a new CEO and delivered a number of excellent candidates, all of whom not only fit the brief but were also well briefed when we met them. The entire process ran smoothly, quickly, and proved most effective: Joanna made herself available to me 24/7 when I was in Sydney and then worked diligently and discreetly to arrange interviews for me in London during the tight timeline I had to meet the candidates and make a decision. We had a very positive experience with Mission Bay and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.

I highly recommend Mission Bay. Joanna and the team were extremely diligent in creating a diverse and robust candidate pipeline by tirelessly speaking to around 130 individuals in our market, and in adjacent fields.

I highly recommend Mission Bay. Joanna and the team were extremely diligent in creating a diverse and robust candidate pipeline by tirelessly speaking to around 130 individuals in our market, and in adjacent fields. They thoroughly screened, described, and presented all possible candidates, and expertly managed a complex network of stakeholders to facilitate the decision-making process. They threaded the eye of a needle to land a stellar candidate that had the support of our entire industry association – no easy feat at all. At all times Joanna and the team acted with utmost integrity, professionalism, and efficiency. And they are fun! I would be delighted to work with the team again and look forward to the prospect of doing so.

What has struck me about Mission Bay is their ability to think more broadly than other firms I’ve worked with.

They’ll cover the necessary bases, but then push my thinking and suggest candidates who’d never occur to other firms. Over time, this has led to a new cadre of talent for our new kind of business challenges. This isn’t lateralism for its own sake; it’s a razor-sharp focus on the client’s ambitions, but delivered with greater innovation – and inspiration. I’ve also been impressed by their focus on behaviours and attitude, the chemistry of their recommendations, rather than a single-minded assessment of skill sets.

Mission Bay did an exceptional job on our latest recruitment search.

They really took time to understand the brief and were thorough, imaginative and tenacious in putting together a really inspirational shortlist. I had confidence in the process from start to end and I’m absolutely delighted with the end result. I’ll be back.

I have worked with Mission Bay since it opened its doors and it is simply one of the best search companies that I work with.

They are attentive to their client needs as well as their candidates. The quality of communication and engagement is truly impressive and Joanna and team are formidable. Every engagement has delivered a star candidate.

John was hugely instrumental in our recent executive search.

His familiarity with the culture here and his extensive connections in the media world, ensured a great level of candidates for us to choose from. Throughout the process the professionalism and real engagement shown by John, Joanna and the Mission Bay team was exemplary. We have very much enjoyed working with them.
