Executive Candidate Testimonial

“I recently was contacted by the Rishworth Aviation team about an opportunity. From the outset the team approach was industry leading, discreet, and very professional. They provided the information I needed to assess the opportunity and they followed up continually leading me through the process. A very good experience indeed. It was first class platinum service all the way!”

"Working with Duke from Rishworth Aviation as a candidate provided me a great experience, from day 1 the constant communication despite the 10h time zones difference, was seamless. Duke was constantly on top of the client, delivering daily updates on the recruiting process till CEBU offered the job. It's been a pleasure and I highly recommend Rishworth and particularly Duke if you are looking for a new job in the aviation business."
