I initially cut my teeth in the recruitment agency arena, specialising in the Engineering & Construction sectors in Brisbane, QLD. These early years taught me a lot about the craft, the do’s and don’ts, which laid a great foundation to improve the overall recruitment experience for both candidates and clients. To broaden my skill set and “round myself out”, I went on to work as an Internal Recruiter and Recruitment Manager for various high profile engineering consultancies as well as hard-dollar construction contractors (some of which were past agency clients of mine).

This experience gave me a different perspective and approach to the recruitment function in terms of acting as a true Business Partner and taking a more objective, consultative view throughout the recruitment process.

In addition, by collaborating with a broad range of internal/external stakeholders, Hiring Managers, Leadership/Executive teams, along with understanding how to align recruitment strategy and tactics with the overarching business goals of the organisation, I have been given an extensive first hand look into exactly how successful resourcing activities directly contribute to company success, AND can either make or break a business, no matter the industry.

As a result, I bring to the table a very adaptable approach depending on the situation, providing the right balance of speed, sense of urgency and tenacity, tamed with a robust, consultative and customer oriented approach resulting in Win-Win outcomes for both Candidates and Clients.
