Sue recently placed me in a senior HR role. I’d never worked with Sue before this and she was fantastic from the outset. After our first call, I knew she’d work hard to get me the role. Sue was engaging, informative, truthful, supportive and really built my confidence going into interviews. I’ve never worked with a recruiter who genuinely cares about their candidates as much as her.
Jodie TennantHR Manager
I worked with Sewell Wallis when I finished my ACA and wanted to move on from Deloitte. Lawrie scheduled a meeting to discuss what I was actually looking for in a job and he tailored my job search around my wants and needs. Lawrie helped me secure my next role - the whole process was very successful. Thank you for all the help!
