“Contacts with Elwira are pure pleasure. Why?
All the candidates presented by her met my expectations, it was her candidate who was finally accepted and moreover, all of them were presented very fast – which, nevertheless, had absolutely no influence on the quality of her work.
The next thing is the communication – direct and open – just professional.
And what is even more important, I simply got to know Elwira and like her very much. Obviously, it cannot be treated as an objective and impartial opinion, but when it comes to working with people, it seems to be crucial.”

Paweł Kotowski

“How to summarize 8 years of outstanding business partnership in just 3 words? It’s not easy; I’ll try though. I met Ms. Elwira Kostka at a very early stage of my career, as a young and promising Brand Executive, taking first steps in the corporate world. From those early days, she truly believed in me; we started to work together; a few projects followed. Each time Ms. Elwira supported me with her professional feedback and advice, giving me lots of support. Finally, thanks to her offer and guidance, I made a major turnaround in my career; 2 months ago I took up the challenge of a big role at Nutricia Poland. What made our co-operation so successful? Of course Ms. Elwira’s priceless expertise, great network, credibility, and – not to forget – her legendary social skills 🙂
But by the end of the day, it was all about TRUST. I am very pleased to recommend Ms. Elwira Kostka and GE Hunter to Executives sourcing for talent in our part of the world. She’s not only a great head hunter but – what’s most important –  a friend and adviser.”

She is very flexible to accommodate the candidate’s geographical challenge by using modern technology in the process.

As a candidate, I really appreciated their work, the serious they are, the rapid process, and the transparency in each moment.
A wonderful recruiter”.
