Testimonials

Mariana Fernandes Prado Tortorelli

HR Manager | RDI – Talent Management

“I had the opportunity to work with Caio and his team for almost 4 years. Caio consistently demonstrated a business partner approach that impressed me. He was able to understand the business and the complexities of the delivery, which enabled him to present candidate profiles that were perfectly aligned with our needs. Many of those hires remain with the company today, delivering excellent performance and showing significant professional development. I am confident that Rock It Recruit is the best partner in the technology market.”

Rodrigo Tognini

CEO & Co-Founder at Conta Simples
“Rock It’s work is unparalleled! Caio has the ability to fully grasp the business challenges and context while also bringing qualified candidates into the process with speed and efficiency. We’ve worked on several positions together, and I am always impressed with both the process and the results.”

Joaquim Torres

Founder of Gyaco, Advisor for Tech Companies, and Former CPO and GM at companies like Gympass and Locaweb
“I’ve known Caio since 2018. We worked together at Gympass, where Caio led the Talent Acquisition team while I managed the product area. He was pivotal in our strategy to scale the engineering, data, design, and product teams, growing from 30 to over 250 people in just one year. Beyond the obvious focus on speed, the quality of the hires was a central focus, which was evident in our low turnover rate. I strongly recommend Caio’s work!”
