We pride ourselves on having satisfied clients and candidates. Some recent comments from people we have helped include…

Mark Stone – Executive Petroleum Engineer – Department of Natural Resources and Mines
“Gregor managed my recent career move from the private sector to an executive position within government. His professionalism, attention to detail, and open communication style made this a smooth transition, to the satisfaction of both parties.  Throughout the process, I felt that Gregor had my interests in mind and carefully and patiently addressed all my questions regarding future assignment. I believe his objective is to place the right person in the right role, rather than to simply fill roles. This is evidenced by the fact that my current role is a great fit for me and my current employer is very pleased with my delivery to date. I therefore have no reservation in recommending Gregor and would happily comment further as required. “
