“Adrian Robinson and his team at IQ PARTNERS have been our long-term preferred strategic recruitment partners. Why?

They are a true extension of our team.”

"Adrian is one of those special people you meet in your life. His prime directive is to first get to know you as a HUMAN BEING, not a role. Your personality, your aspirations, your strengths, your interests. And man is he good at it. Not to mention he's one of the most honest, genuine, and hard-working people I've ever met. He's not only found me new opportunities, but has helped me build teams– great teams. Throughout the process, he'll say it how it is, even when it's not what you want to hear. He always behaves with integrity, and I know that whatever I tell him stays between us. He offers outside perspective when you want it, and is a real professional day in day out."
- Managing Director

“It’s rare in the ad business to come across a recruiter who has clients AND candidates best interests at heart. Adrian is one of those people who exudes professionalism, integrity and trustworthiness. Always available. Always honest. Always an all around great guy. A pro in the truest sense of the word. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to make that next step in their career.”
