Employed by Chandler Macleod Group as a Senior Recruitment Consultant working across Sales, Marketing and Communications. Specialising in Mid to Senior Executive level recruitment throughout the Melbourne market, I have managed to develop a strong client and candidate portfolio within this space. Over time, I have focused on developing Chandler Macleod's capability within these areas by building market share throughout Utilities, Banking, Finance, IT and Professional Services. I hold a strong emphasis on working with both clients and candidates to ensure the 'best fit' for both parties in order for clients to increase employee retention rates.

I was employed by Sinclair Consulting Group and was responsible for all recruitment within Sales & Marketing. This position saw me developing a 'cold' desk and recruiting on a large range of roles to become a complete 360 recruiter. During my time I managed to develop a large network within the Building & Construction industry which in turn has led to be a successful niche industry to recurit in across Victoria. Earlier in 2009 I also took over the Retail division as a Recruiter which saw me using the skills and knowledge learnt in my previous role to recruit all levels of Retail professionals within Victoria.

I started with Frontline Retail in May 2005 as a part time Resourcer. This position saw me assisting all consultants within the business to ensure that the best outcomes were being obtained. After completing my studies I then moved into a Consultant position where I was working alongside the Agency Owner for a period of 6 months until becoming a Senior Consultant. During my time at Frontline Retail I was able to build long standing successful relationships with both candidates and clients. This saw me working closely with both parties to ensure the successful match. The positions which I would work on included Sales Consultants, Assistant Managers, Store Managers, Area Managers, Regional Managers and State Management level with some of Australia's biggest retail groups.
