Endorsements from colleagues


Grisha has been in our web team for 7 years and has delivered outstanding results, managing multilingual content for 16 websites. His attention to detail, rigor, organizational skills and speed of work made him my go-to person for all critical web updates.

Over the years he has also incorporated the skill of web project management in a multinational environment.

I recommend hiring Grisha for any web content management, or front-end development work. He is a fast learner, and is a great person to work with.

Maxime B. — Senior Manager, Marketing Technology

December 2020

As the strongly dedicated and perfectionist person that he is, Grisha is always searching for improvements and will investigate issues relentlessly until he finds and understands the root important issues in order to find and implement the best possible fix.

Regardless of how busy Grisha is, he will always make time to help out his colleagues, whether it's an urgent issue, helping out when the workload increases suddenly or patiently explaining a new colleague how to fix a piece of code.

Having worked with him on many business critical and large global projects, I can only attest of his professionalism: reliable, well organised and flexible, Grisha also communicates well with all stakeholders involved all around the world. All the while and regardless of the amount of stress, he never let's go of a chance to crack a good joke.

Having worked for over 3,5 years with Grisha, I can not only say we will miss him dearly as an incredibly dedicated colleague but also as someone that has become a good friend to me and many others.

Jenny H. — Digital Marketing Manager Benelux

Si vous cherchez un développeur compétent et investi, Grisha est la personne qu'il vous faut ! Quelque soit la demande, il fera toujours en sorte de trouver la solution la plus adaptée. Grâce à Grisha, nous avons lancé de nombreux sites performants sur Drupal et tout s'est toujours très bien passé malgré les délais serrés que nous avions ! En plus de ces compétences dev, Grisha est une personne simple et très sympa avec qui il est très agréable de travailler au quotidien.

Lyna F. — Online Manager - Acquisition - Digital Marketing - SEM

Grisha assisted the APAC team on several projects and is an excellent source of knowledge as well as a speedy implementer. His ability to develop and code website pages helped us immensely, especially during projects when we were all working to very tough turn around times. I highly recommend Grisha and wish him all the best in the next steps of his career.

Jessica G. — Senior Online Marketing Manager, APAC

November 2020

Throughout my time at Robert Half, I have had the opportunity to work closely with Grisha. During my first year as Junior Webmaster, he took me under his wing and helped expand my Webmaster skill-set. When I grew and progressed to another position, he continued to provide support and was always there to help when needed.

Grisha's eye for detail is unparalleled to anyone that I have ever worked with before. This paired with his methodological way of working and organisational skills makes him very successful at his job. His biggest strength is keeping uniformity in everything he does which is a major asset when working across 16 similar sites. He is not only fast, but delivers quality work efficiently. Grisha is an asset to any web or design function. His desire to continuously improve and master the web is what sets him apart from his competition.

Jennifer H. — Marketing Technical Product Manager

November 2020

Grisha est arrivé au sein de l'équipe Marketing Strategy & Technology il y a 1 an et on peut dire que son apport a permis à l'équipe Web de pouvoir gérer de manière impeccable les divers projets (dont notamment le rebranding de la société) à merveille.

Grisha se donne toujours à 100% afin que les sites de Robert Half soient les plus parfaits possible en essayant de rendre les pages (nouvelles ou anciennes) plus les efficaces et user-friendly possible.
