Lonza Japan Ltd.

Position (1)	Sales Director
Position (2)	Finance/Accounting&HR Director
Industry	Biotechnology
Dr. Hajime Endo, Chairman of the Board, Lonza Japan Ltd.	I have worked with many recruitment agencies, and Gaipro's approach is unique. Other agencies, without taking sufficient time to understand our company and the personnel we were seeking, bombarded us with CV's and valuable time was lost in futile interviews. In contrast, Gaipro (both Mr. Stricker and Mr. Zelger) takes time to understand the nature of our business, our products and services, and the specific qualifications required of candidates for our open positions. With such a thorough approach they were able to fill several positions for Lonza Japan and we are very satisfied with the performance of our new staff. I fully and confidently recommend Gaipro as a most reliable recruitment agency.

Fresenius Kabi Japan K.K.

Position	CFO
Industry	Medical devices and supplies
Dr. Mathias Wagner, President & CEO, Fresenius Kabi Japan K.K.	Gaipro was new to us and we did not know what to expect at first. This changed over the course of the search mandate, as we began to appreciate Gaipro's dedication and willingness to thoroughly understand our business and personnel needs. The short list candidates introduced to us were of a high quality and it was particularly helpful that Gaipro accurately outlined the strengths and challenges for each candidate while refraining from one-sided recommendations. As a result we have expanded our cooperation with Gaipro to cover additional positions.

Genedata K.K.

Position	Sales Director
Industry	Bio-informatics
Dr. Frank Staubli, Managing Director, Genedata K.K.	When we decided in 2006 to setup our own company in Japan we needed to first hire an experienced Sales Director for driving our business. We were strongly impressed by Gaipro's approach in trying to first understand our company, our products and our needs as detailed as possible before starting to search for target candidates. In parallel to successfully completing the mandate within 9 weeks time Gaipro gave valuable advice for our daily operations. Martin Stricker was later elected into our board of directors.

Medela K.K.

Position	Managing Director
Industry	Medical devices
Mr. Jurg Jordi, Vice President International Sales, Medela AG Switzerland and President Medela K.K.	We know Mr. Stricker as a profound expert who understands both, the European and the Japanese culture. His good network enabled us to specifically target our search. Of excellent value and help to us is Mr. Stricker's method and ability not only to understand our needs but also what individual fits best into our organisation from both, a personal and an educational point of view.

tesa tape K.K.

Position	Supply Chain Manager
Industry	Chemicals
Mr. Timo Nagaoka, Head of SCM & Sales Operations, tesa tape K.K.	We consulted with Gaipro for the first time in the beginning of 2011, when we were looking for a Supply Chain Manager. We had very specific requirements and only a short time frame to finish the hiring process. Before we were asking a handful of the larger recruiting companies, but we were not satisfied with the quality of the candidates introduced to us. This was the reason why we tried a smaller consulting company such as Gaipro. Gaipro was very frank with regard to what would be possible and what would not be possible. We had an intensive briefing session with Marko Zelger and only shortly later he introduced us a candidate that met our specific requirements. He accompanied the entire hiring process and showed high flexibility and quick response. It was a pleasure to work with Gaipro, and I can personally recommend their services especially to foreign companies with special needs that are not always understood by larger recruiting companies. We will certainly consult with Gaipro again in the future.
