I would like to express how pleased we are in Carlylse’s success in identifying Electronic Engineering candidates for our positions.
We have been working with them for a number of years and never felt the need to use another recruitment agency. They are a pleasure to work with, and provide excellent pre-screening on potential candidates deemed worthy
of our time.

I have been very impressed with the professional manner in which Carlysle has been conducting the recruitment process. They have a deep and detailed knowledge of the recruitment industry and spend time getting to know clients and what they need to fulfil requirements. Carlysle forms the link between companies and candidates and understands the needs of both. I have been continually impressed with the relevancy and suitability of the candidates submitted to Ovations.

Carlysle is one of our preferred partners in the sourcing of top quality talent. As a manganese mine we always rely on their specialist knowledge and approach when it comes to the placement of candidates in specialist positions. Carlysle adds value to our recruitment process with their willingness to go the extra mile.
Great communication, transparency, top quality candidates and excellent customer service are attributes that set them apart.

Carlysle provides very fast and efficient service. Always customer orientated and provides excellent candidates. They’re super friendly and very detailed orientated to deliver on just what we need.

In my 20+ years in Talent Acquisition, I’ve worked with a lot of recruiters—but few operate at the level of Debbie Luckoff!
We first connected in May 2025 after I cold-messaged five engineering recruiters in South Africa. Debbie was the only one who responded (first sign she was the real deal). At the time, we were chasing what I call “Classic American Mechanical Design Engineers”—those rare, hands-on, design-to-manufacture unicorns that have quietly vanished from the domestic market thanks to years of outsourcing. After 18 months of coming up dry, Debbie stepped in and completely changed the game.
Within weeks, she delivered a shortlist so on-point, we hired TWO Senior MDEs right out of the gate. We’re now working together on an Electrical Controls Engineer, and I every confidence we will be successful.
Debbie brings a perfect mix of professionalism, responsiveness, and personality. She’s got command of her craft, knows her market, and builds real partnerships—on both sides of the hiring equation. She’s got that rare ability to make global hiring feel local, personal, and refreshingly effective. A true GEM.

I have had the pleasure of working with Debbie Luckhoff and have been continually impressed by her professionalism, industry knowledge, and dedication. As a Recruitment Partner, she has a sharp eye for talent and a strategic approach that consistently delivers excellent results.
Debbie is efficient, approachable, and truly passionate about matching the right people to the right roles. She’s a trusted partner who adds real value to any recruitment process.
I highly recommend her and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration!!
