About Fiona Sutherland

I thrive in fast paced collaborative environments where communication and connection are priorities. Talent Acquisition Experienced senior talent acquisition specialist who has recruited across government, infrastructure, energy, retail, education, contact centre and manufacturing/wholesale sectors. End-to-end recruitment from executive, senior leadership to volume/transactional and all areas in between.People & Culture Projects, Employment MarketingThis is where I combine my love of marketing with recruitment. I was totally gobsmacked to learn that my 2nd top strength according to Gallop’s CliftonStrengths was strategic. And that this can’t be taught. Give me a project, task whatever and I’ll go off and deliver. I rely on my curiosity and research + critical thinking skills from my undergrad uni days studying politics and history. I know being strategic means I leverage this strength to find the best way forward.What gets me up in the morning? I put it on my banner! 😃With my ADHD diagnosis, I've connected the dots around why I’ve stayed in roles, why I’ve left. And why I haven’t had the typical career trajectory I imagined. I’ve thought heaps about disclosing my very recent ADHD diagnosis on here. But it's been an epiphany honestly 🤯 I now know my ADHD is the centre of my whole life and it’s a whole-person condition. What a relief 😅
