I love what I do. I am a specialist recruiter operating within the engineering, environmental and planning sectors since 1999. Most importantly, I am passionate about getting the right match for both employers and employees. It’s what drives me to get up every day – the relationships I have (developed) with so many people within the industries I work in. Being a specialist – I know my industry – the companies within it, team cultures and all the industry quirks that matter. I have an extensive network that I am constantly growing and learning from and with. Recruitment is no longer about writing a good advertisement, to shortlist and fill the job. As a trusted advisor to both clients and candidates, I am regularly asked for career advise salary benchmarking, or an honest assessment of a candidate’s fit for a specific role or organisation. As a HR professional, I take the time to listen and understand, and am not afraid to question or challenge what I’m being told so we can achieve the best result for everyone. I thrive on understanding exactly what a candidate is looking for, and matching them with the best fit company from my comprehensive network. I often feel like a career match-maker. In my spare time, I love spending time with my son Luca and husband Chris, and wider family on the Gold Coast. I enjoy keeping fit and strength training.
