        The success of our engineering recruiting success at Pandora can be greatly credited to Aanand.  He came to us with a wealth of knowledge and the patience to see successful initiatives to results when there were many critics.  He helped us define a client intake form that is widely used by my network today.   I feel lucky that I had the opportunity to work with Aanand and remain thankful for the professionalism and results he provided.

        I recently hire Aanad and his partner Dan Grosh, and their firm Calibre One delivers.  They are super tenacious while under-promising and over-delivering.  I recently retained them for a high level confidential VP executive search.  They were easy to work with, credible with the executive team, excellent at assessing talent and presented high-quality executives that met the requirements.  My SVP, who was our ultimate client, was very pleased with their work and the candidates delivered.  In fact, they produced candidates that we are now considering for other roles.  The hire was made in less than 60 days and the process was smooth, efficient and got us the result we were looking for.  They are at the top of my list of go-to –retained-recruiters and look forward to continuing the Flextronics-Calibre One relationship for many years to come.
