Navid has always sought new challenges to grow personally and professionally, leading him from studying materials engineering at one of Iran's top universities to working in a steel company, pursuing a second degree in Germany, and ultimately becoming a Testing Engineer in IT. His interest in innovation and technology, particularly in Machine Learning and Python programming for materials engineering, matured over time, with the final push toward IT at an event where he learned about the Testing Engineer role.

In Germany, job changes often involve complexity, lengthy processes, feedback rounds, and language challenges. Fortunately, at a Robert Walters IT Networking event in Frankfurt, Navid met my recruitment consultant, who, with his expertise, assessed Navid's needs and helped him secure a position in financial software test management.

Navid appreciated the collaboration with Robert Walters, especially the deep market knowledge of his recruitment consultant, enabling him to find the perfect position beyond CVs and job descriptions. His expertise also assisted in salary negotiations and interview preparation.

Although the sought position was for a senior, which Navid wasn't yet, both he and his recruitment consultant were confident in Navid's ability to acquire the required skills—an excellent opportunity for him.

Thanks to the collaboration with Robert Walters, Navid eventually landed his dream job, taking his personal and professional development to the next level.

"In my recruitment consultant, I felt like I was talking to someone who truly knows their field!"
