Having worked with Alex on two senior economist hires, I found him to be very attuned to his clients' needs, asking very detailed questions about the mandate, providing very honest feedback about each cadnidate he put forward - in both absolute and relative terms, keeping his clients regularly updated about progress, and coordinating the interview process very efficiently. He also conducts himself very professionally and is very easy to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend him to those looking to recruit high quality macro candidates in the asset management industry.
