Sole Engineer

I had the great pleasure of working with Katie during my job search, and thanks to her professionalism, dedication, and constant support, I’m now working as a private chef in Berlin in a role that fits me perfectly.

From our very first conversation, Katie showed a genuine interest in understanding my background, skills, and career goals. She guided me through every step of the process with clarity and care, always making herself available.

Her attention to detail, warm approach, and commitment to finding the right fit made all the difference. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity she helped me secure and the trust she placed in my abilities.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Katie to any professional looking for new opportunities, or to any employer seeking a recruiter who truly goes above and beyond.

Thank you, Katie, for believing in me and helping me take this exciting step in my career.

We had a fantastic experience working with Reiya Group to recruit a private chef for our principal. From the very beginning, their team was highly professional, responsive and committed to finding the right fit for our needs. Despite the short notice, they managed to arrange trail days within just a few days and even worked over the weekend to ensure everything went smoothly. Their dedication and flexibility made the whole process seamless and stress-free. We’re very grateful for their support and would gladly recommend Reiya Group to anyone looking for top-tier private staffing services.

This was by the far the best employment experience of my career, and I strongly recommend Reiya Group to other yacht crew members seeking employment.
