David was my point of contact for a very senior technology role. He introduced the opportunity and provided valuable guidance along the way. He was in constant contact which was very welcome, when other recruiters would tend to be less hands on. I would happily use David for placing myself in another role, and having him help fill roles that I had open.

Working with David and DB Recruitment is always a pleasure. David goes out of his way to find the right fit in terms of knowledge, skills and capability for company requirements. I have worked with him as both an employer seeking talent and as a consultant looking for work. David introduced me to my first contacts as a freelance business consultant which resulted in a successful start and continued support to my business. I highly recommend working with David and DB Recruitment.

Fiona CormicanFormer CEO - Cluid Housing

David assisted Enva in filling several key roles on our team. We tried to fill the roles ourselves over a few months however, we were unsuccessful. If you are looking for a recruiter who will essentially find a needle in a haystack in a very short space of time, I would highly recommend that you partner with David Brazil for all your recruitment needs.

Erin HoobanHR Manager, Enva

I can't speak highly enough of David and the team at DB Recruitment. Their approach was extremely professional and efficient. They listened to our recruitment needs and responded very well to them. Based on our initial discovery call David knew exactly what we were looking for, and we successfully filled a key role for the business through DB Recruitment. I found our interactions to be very direct and effective, there was no unnecessary back and forth on emails or calls, David was attuned to the process and able to guide it in the right direction. I would be very happy to recommend DB Recruitment to any company looking to hire. Thanks to all the team there! We look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.
