Testimonials


"Over more than 10 years of partnership, I had the opportunity to work side by side with Sofia Montalvo, always with professionalism, honesty, dedication, and outstanding results. It is with great pleasure that I witness the launch of Circle, her new project that reflects the experience and passion that have always defined her journey."

Luís Fernandes

HR Director - Staples


"I've had the pleasure of working with Sofia when she was helping me recruit several people for my company. From day one, she stood out for her professionalism and genuine effort to understand not just the roles we were hiring for, but also the context of our business and what kind of person would really fit. She always went the extra mile — making sure candidates had a clear picture of the position and the environment they'd be joining, and even after placements were done, she kept in touch with thoughtful follow-ups to ensure things were running smoothly. What impressed me the most was her mix of care, honesty, and insight. She's not just about filling a role; she's about making the right match for both sides. Now that she's starting her own project, I have no doubt she'll bring the same dedication and sharp instincts to her clients. If you're looking for someone who truly gets it when it comes to talent and fit, Sofia is definitely the person you want by your side."

“I was grateful to count on her support at different moments, first as a candidate and later as a client. On both sides, she always stood out for her professionalism, availability, and attention to detail — but above all, for the close, human, and genuine way she manages each process. It is this rare combination of rigor and empathy that makes all the difference and turns the experience into something so positive and enriching."
