About Robert & CERTO

🚀 Background & Career Journey

Meet Robert Guerain, a force in the recruitment industry who started his recruitment journey six years ago. Before diving into the world of recruitment, Robert was an account manager at software companies. Often approached by recruitment agencies, he realized his background gave him a unique advantage. He had hands-on experience in the industry he was recruiting for, which is rare and invaluable. Recognizing his niche expertise, he founded CERTO five years ago, specializing in commercial roles. With his software background, he’d also gained significant clientele from that domain. The team grew stronger with the addition of a partner who joined two and a half years ago, handling many operational aspects.

💼 Expertise & Network

Robert’s strength doesn’t just come from his background in software but also from his ability to empathize and understand account managers, having been one himself. This offers him an unparalleled advantage when it comes to matching candidates with the right roles. With CERTO, they specialize in commercial profiles ranging from inside sales to sales directors across various sectors.
