Some nice things customers have said...
We partnered with Luke at Zest for a Head of Product Design role we previously had open for 8 months. We probably reached out to everyone in the world who could have been a fit and still came up short. Luke took over, and we filled the role within a month or so!
Zest has a very deep network in product design, and it was immediately apparent that they were having face time with people who never got back to us.
I would recommend Zest without hesitation!

I would strongly recommend Allen and the team at Zest based on a recent Product Director hire they delivered for us at General System. Blending deep tech knowledge/experience with strategic product management (in a completely new market segment) was the priority, which made the search particularly challenging and nuanced. Allen delivered! We're delighted with our new hire who is already making a big impact, and it wasn't by chance that we found him.
Thanks Allen for delivery on a challenging but critical brief!

Luke at Zest been instrumental in helping me build and recruit Emitwise's design team from the ground up, and has consistently gone above and beyond. As well as sending me excellent, hand-picked candidates, Luke has given me great advice around recruitment practices and processes for product design.
He is receptive to feedback, able to adjust quickly to changing circumstances, and is an efficient talent partner, qualities that are vital if you're working with fast-growing startups.
