What our Candidates say?

Founder-first partnerships that deliver clarity, velocity, and leadership fit.

“It is not often that your HR consultant gets into a deeper substrate and works with the client to evolve a role that was not the original mandate. Vishal understood the change and went back-and-forth several times during the process to finally helps the organization get ready for a brand new division and also helps me get ready to spread my wings in this completely new avatar. Indeed very well done team Colosseum! “

“I am really happy to have Vishal and his team as a partner in enabling my career transition from AWS, HR Director where I worked for 5 years to Vymo as CHRO in June 2023. Colosseum consulting exemplifies professionalism, deep understanding of the business of the company they are sourcing for and are very discreet , aspects which are extremely crucial for executive hiring and for building trust.  I have found Vishal and his team very accessible, supportive throughout the process. He and his team always managed to strike the right balance between my expectations as a candidate and the needs of the employer. There was a lot of transparency and I felt I was well prepared for my interactions with the leadership team of Vymo and the communication process was flawless. He knew when to allow the company executives to take the lead and when to step back.

I wish the Colosseum team very best! and I look forward to working with them on my executive talent needs for the new company !”

“Vishal is exceptional in understanding the client and candidate needs and their context of hiring/ career aspirations.  He invested significant time in giving clarity on the role, worked closely with me, delved deeper to understand my career aspirations and the context of the role, and connected the dots. He was always there to share relevant job information,  worked with me throughout, and brings an immense amount of patience in what he does.

Vishal is a thorough professional, is honest and transparent in the way he comes across to the client, and has a very strong ability to influence and advise business leaders. Beyond tapping into his network, I see Vishal being extremely open to experimentation and has been successful in doing so. With so many executive search firms operating across the Industry, Vishal brings a truly consultative approach to engagement rather than just hiring what the client needs.

Thanks, It's great partnering with you. I wish you All the Best!!”

What sets Colosseum Consulting apart is their genuine investment in candidate success. Rather than simply matching resumes to job descriptions, they take time to invest in understanding your prior journey and one's career goals and identify opportunities you may not have even considered or thought about :) 

Their market knowledge, honest feedback and ongoing support throughout the placement process makes all the difference. Thanks to the team’s expertise at Colosseum Consulting, I'm now in a role that challenges me and accelerates my professional growth. I would definitely vouch for taking their help in case you are on lookout for your next gig :)

I interacted with Vishal and his team at Colosseum consulting first in the year 2019, when we had a couple of discussions around market opportunities which Vishal was hiring for.

Although we did not go ahead with the process then, fast forward to 2020, Vishal and I connected on an interesting opportunity to join a recently funded startup, with a unique value proposition in the Fintech space, and the team wanted to create a completely new and interesting business model. Vishal acted as a thought partner to both the firm as well as me, in a way marrying the skill sets which I had to offer to the role which the firm was recruiting for (and already had several candidates interviewed yet not chosen by the team and investors). Finally ended up joining the firm with Vishal's guidance and stayed with the firm for 2 years, seeing them through the initial stages to the growth stage.

Today as well, Vishal and I connect, not just to talk about the market landscape, but also referrals, the industry in general or just to connect to say hi. Over time, from being an advisor/thought partner to join firms, he has also become a friend with whom you can discuss business and life alike.

I would highly recommend Colosseum for partnership with your firm for the right marriage of talent and role, as well as gaining thought partnership and not just a recruiting firm.”

"Vishal (Colosseum) is professional and developed a good understanding of my experience and expectations to position my candidature; he provided useful inputs to help with my decision, along with ensuring there was a good cultural fit - crucial in leadership roles"

Colosseum played a pivotal role in helping me discover and eventually get hired as VP of Ads Business at Truecaller. I was impressed with the deep understanding they had about the role and the hiring company, and the patience they demonstrated in answering my questions through the entire process that spanned across a few weeks. Colosseum took the time and effort to understand my mid-long term professional aspirations and helped me evaluate the Truecaller opportunity without being pushy. The comprehensiveness of their research and the genuineness to ensure a win-win scenario for everyone involved, made this a delightful experience. Working with Colosseum/Vishal was significantly superior to some of my earlier experiences working with headhunters/recruitment firms. Irrespective of which side of the table you are - as an employer or a candidate - I would highly recommend Colosseum to help you find the right match.

“I have worked with Vishal on multiple mandates on the past.

Vishal has a great eye for talent and his deep empathy for the candidates coupled with professional agility makes him a great recruitment partner.

I have always found Vishal/team at Colosseum to be very approachable and professional”

After spending 5 years at Ola, I was keen to leverage my experience to play a larger role with a younger startup and Colosseum enabled that perfectly with the CFO role at Bounce for me.  The relationship with Vishal has been more of a friend and advisor than just a search partner.  His proactive efforts on solving for new category creation also led me to the CFO role at CoinSwitch Kuber.  Vishal’s ability to navigate candidate aspirations with client expectations and ensure a great founder - CXO culture match is impeccable.  Their process is seamless and probably the most comforting among many leadership recruiting giants I've interacted with.  Best wishes to Vishal & team.
