What jobseekers say about Ingrid
"Ingrid delivered one of the best recruitment experiences I’ve ever had as a candidate. She took time to really understand my strengths & weaknesses, and gave me detailed advice to prepare for each interview. She also consistently followed up after every round, giving actionable feedback that I could take to the next one. She was instrumental at helping me get a job at my dream company. What makes Ingrid stand out is that she goes above and beyond her job scope, and genuinely cares for her clients and candidates."
Lionel, Google
"Thank you Ingrid for all your proactive help during my interview process and providing me the preparation materials needed to get ready for my interviews. I really appreciate you for taking time and explaining me the STAR framework which has levelled up my response for behavioural-based interview questions."
Praveen, Google
"Thanks so much Ingrid for helping me have a better understanding in how to prepare a great CV, and how to connect with the right companies / teams. You are a great example of going above and beyond!"
Inaki, Google
"I must really commend the Google hiring team, especially Ingrid Liew, who constantly kept me assured on the progress of my interviews & took the time to explain the program to me in detail (she even provided resources to prepare us for the interviews!)"
Farid, Google (Intern)
"Ingrid is one of the rare recruiters that I felt genuinely cared about candidates ... She has been instrumental in understanding my work experience and career aspirations. We spoke deeply about the role that she had for me and how we can work collaboratively on making it a strategic career move. It was such an enjoyable experience working with her because I felt that Ingrid was not just trying to close a deal where I was only a moving part in it. She made sure she brought out the right things, not just of me, but also made sure the opportunity was in-line with my goals. Because of this, my work life has never been better than it is today, and I would not have found this role if Ingrid had not found me. I am more than happy to share that part and parcel of my career growth was because of Ingrid's keen understanding of humans and what work means for each of us. If you ever cross paths with Ingrid, you are in good, capable, and caring hands."
