"I have immensely enjoyed working with Sonny at CORE over the past few years. He is a hospitality specialist and has helped place roles from General Manager to Managing Director. He has the ability to not only find top talent but, maybe even more importantly for me, has displayed an understanding of Island Poké's company culture. This ensures that we not only found individuals who have the right pedigree for the job but also ensures they are the right character fit too."

James Gould-Porter, Founder & CEO, Island Poke

Sonny has consistently demonstrated not just exceptional recruiting skills but an in-depth understanding of our industry and what makes a team click."

Whether it's keeping candidates informed or providing feedback to me or my team, his approach is always clear, concise, and timely. This level of detail and transparency has significantly eased the hiring process for us.

"What truly distinguishes Sonny, however, is his ability to transcend the traditional recruiter role. In our collaboration, I've seen him not just as a recruiter but as a strategic partner. His insights and perspectives have been invaluable in not only filling positions but also in helping us shape the teams we build."

"In an industry where excellence can sometimes be hard to find, Sonny stands out as one of the best. If you're looking for someone who will bring more than just candidates to your door – some- one who will understand and enhance your business – then I cannot recommend Sonny enough."
