I had the pleasure of working with Sean Barrett at Storm2, and my experience was nothing short of outstanding. He quickly understood our needs and delivered exceptional candidates quickly for a VP-level role. He has an established network and is trusted by the candidates he works with. Every interaction with Sean was focused, professional, and productive - resulting in a smooth process for all involved.

Tailored Approach and Confidence

I recently worked with Pat, a fantastic recruiter who helped me transition from over a decade at my previous company to a new senior executive role. Pat's professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the process, as he navigated multiple timezones with ease, ensuring seamless communication and timely updates. He took the time to understand my career goals and tailored his approach accordingly, which made all the difference. Thanks to Pat's support and guidance, I felt confident and prepared every step of the way. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated recruiter who truly cares about their clients' success.

Flora was awesome

Flora was awesome. Communicative throughout the whole process, helped review prior to interviews, and went to bat for me when it came to salary negotiations. It was a great experience. Hopefully I won't ever have to use them again, but if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to work with Flora and Storm2 again. Thank you so much for your efforts.

Sarah F is an impressive professional and has been great to work with. She has a rare mix of high IQ & EQ, so she makes candidates feel taken care of. Sarah and the Storm2 team go beyond the norm and truly care about their candidates' success and well-being. I'd recommend working with her and the Storm2 team in a heartbeat.

Storm2: Unethical, Unreliable, and on the Brink of Collapse

My experience with Storm2 Recruitment (Levin Group) was a disaster. From the start, they were overly pushy—constantly asking me to adjust deadlines and trying to force candidates who were clearly not the right fit. It felt like they were more interested in making a quick placement than genuinely understanding my needs as a client. The whole approach was unprofessional and, frankly, unethical.

It all made sense when I found out about the deeper issues at play. On July 18th, Storm2 went bankrupt, and instead of taking responsibility, the CEO, and the rest of the management team abandoned their employees without any communication or support. Staff in Hamburg and Amsterdam were left unpaid and completely in the dark while the company continued hiring in London and New York. Employees have lost trust, and it's clear they're struggling with staffing—they probably can’t keep up, and it shows in their desperate client approach. Storm2 is falling apart.

I strongly advise against doing business with Storm2. The company is falling apart, and their internal chaos puts your money and processes at serious risk. With ongoing instability, there’s a high chance they won’t be able to deliver on their commitments, leaving you with unfinished projects and poor results. Storm2 is on a steep decline, and you don’t want to get caught in the fallout. Look for a more reliable partner before this situation impacts your business too.

Reply from Storm2

In July Storm2’s parent company made the strategic decision to close the European arm of the business, you can read more about this decision here (https://grouplevin.com/levin-press/levin-usa-focus/). Clients were informed of this at different stages in accordance with legal guidance. We regret that you experienced poor service in the build up to our restructure and wish you the best with your hiring in future.

Bankruptcy and Betrayal: Staff Abandoned by Management

Storm2 Recruitment deserves the worst review imaginable. On July 18th, the company was declared bankrupt, and what does the management do? They pull out the investors’ money, leaving all the employees in Hamburg and Amsterdam completely stranded.

No salary in June, no communication whatsoever from the CEO, CFO, or the investors—absolutely nothing. It’s disgraceful how they abandon their staff without any explanation or support.

But that’s not all. While they leave their own people in the lurch, they happily continue hiring new staff in London and New York. This shows how little they care about their employees and how they’re only focused on their own gain. This company is an absolute disaster, and I would strongly advise anyone against ever having anything to do with Storm2 Recruitment.

Storm2 is a brand from Levin Group

George Turner is a great asset to Storm2!

George Turner was my contact at Storm throughout the recruiting process for my new hire. George was amazing to work with, super informed and well-prepared. He provided a great conduit to the applicants and always delivered a thorough explanation of their background and how they would fit with the role we were recruiting for. And on a personal note, George is an absolute pleasure to work with!

I recommend Sean Barrett

I had the pleasure of working with Sean Barrett to find my next role. We met last year, and I wasn't ready at the time, but we talked about what I would want in my next gig. When he reached back out again this year, he nailed it. This was my first time working with a recruiter, and Sean was really helpful and responsive throughout the entire process.

Brilliant agency that will match you with the right opportunity

The beauty of Storm2 is that unlike other recruiters they actually spend time getting to know their candidates and companies to ensure the right candidate is hired for the right role. They prepared me very well for every stage of the process and showed extreme interest even on the days off that they had. Special shoutout to Monica who was so professional and supportive throughout the whole process

Storm2 should be Top on your list

I find that Storm 2 is one of the premiere recruitment/ search firms for my global needs. I have now utilized their services at more than two of the firms where I managed the sales and marketing functions. I highly recommend them for all your hiring needs. They are relevant, move with urgency, and will pivot as needed to assist with your searches.

A pleasant experience

I recently had a very pleasant experience working with George Turner. As a recruiter, he has been very responsive and supportive during my interview process. He had the capability to successfully built a bridge between candidate and employer, helping them to unblock obstacles and actively push things moving forward. With his assistance, the interview process become effective.
