Chris Abbass

“Christopher worked for us as Recruitment Business Partner at Shazam for around 18 months, with a primary responsibility for hiring across our Engineering business. He consistently delivered quality hiring across a range of roles, often roles that were incredibly hard to fill and helped the business to evolve it's overall hiring practices. On a personal note, working with Chris day to day has been a true delight. He's smart, insightful and also brilliantly hilarious. He will be very much missed at Shazam and we wish him the very best in all his future endeavours. I very much hope to work with him again in the future. ”

“Chris gets your foot in the door. He schedules interviews in quick succession and provides great insight into the company. Always helpful, Chris is an excellent recruiter. ”

“Having gotten used to getting hounded by recruiters on a weekly basis, I can happily say that Christopher is the best one that I have ever dealt with and definitely stands out amongst the rest. Not only does he meet the needs of the business perfectly, but he excels in meeting the needs of the potential employee too. When I got contacted by Chris about an opportunity at Shazam, I had some concerns due to my background being mostly web based and not mobile based. Christopher was honest and thorough in his answers and relayed all information well in order to continue the recruitment process. When I got through to the final interview stage, I originally had trouble knowing when I was free for a few hours to have the interview. After having other plans backfire on a past Friday, I contacted Christopher and he was able to schedule my interview within the hour on the same day. Needless to say, Christopher is great at what he does and his passion truly shines through in his work.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting Chris during the recruitment process for my current role at Shazam. Chris did a great job in setting the goal posts at the beginning of the process and systematically checking in during each successive round of interviews. He is a genuinely nice guy and this is evident in the way he communicates with candidates and delivers his feedback. These are the exact qualities I look for in someone in Chris's position, as the first point of contact for perspective new employees. I highly recommend Chris as a recruitment professional and colleague in general.”

“Having worked with Chris, I have found him to be professional and articulate in his approach. He strives to provide a personal level of service and as a result I have recommended him others who I have worked with.”

“Chris is a great recruiter with high integrity and unrivalled perseverance. And unlike most recruiters I've dealt with in the jobs/meat market, he also listens. Ultimately he helped me land a great role.”
