Significant knowledge and ability coupled with a strong desire to help others is a powerful combination to possess, and working with Irina is a unsurprisingly a pleasure.”

At eGrabber we consult with Irina regularly and seek her opinion on various Internet research techniques, so that we could improve our lead-generation and candidate sourcing products.”

She was extremely patient while teaching me about the recruiting business, and unfailingly generous about sharing her time, knowledge, insight, and tips. She encouraged me to grow as a person. Although I’ve moved on to other pursuits I would work for or with her again in a heartbeat. I consider her to be a lifelong friend.”

“Irina Shamaeva is known to me since many years. She has always been very helpful and candid in sharing her knowledge of recruiting and providing tips, tricks, guidelines, suggestions, mentoring and support which is way beyond than you can expect from any other fellow of the industry. She is very senior in recruiting industry and has a great depth of knowledge about a wide range of Web 2.0 tools that automate the recruiting processes and make them efficient.

Asif Akhtar Nizami, Sr. Technical Recruiter , FSD Solutions

“Irina is a master in Internet Sourcing, who skills rival that of any thought-leader I have encountered. After spending 30 min on the phone with Irina it was clear I was dealing with an expert. It isn’t everyday I find someone with more technical depth then myself; in the world of recruiting, and Irina is certainly my senior. I would offer my strongest recommendation to any organization that is looking to enhance the skill-set of their sourcing organization, and learn tricks that I have not seen anywhere. Simply stated she is brilliant.” August 25, 2008

David Sadler, Recruiting Consultant , Avanade Inc.

“Irina succeeds and excels in everything she takes on. She was one of the top Math students at the Moscow State University where we studied together. Later, I was very impressed by the model Irina developed when I worked with her at the Eye Research Institute in San Francisco. Irina’s 3D Computer strabismus model allowed eye surgeons and scientists to visualize the eye with its elastic muscles motion and to predict surgery outcomes. She developed this complex visualizing technique from scratch in almost no time. Irina’s work showed extensive Math knowledge, top technical skills, and sharp understanding of medical scientists’ and doctors’ points of view. I was amazed by the originality and effectiveness of this application. I highly recommend Irina as an intelligent, creative, and reliable person, an outstanding performer, and an excellent work partner.”
