03 - About

A career spent at the crossroads of talent and opportunity.

For more than 15 years, I've worked in recruitment and HR, helping companies build teams across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and beyond. I've also coached hundreds of professionals through some of the most important moments in their careers - finding the right next move, preparing for interviews, repositioning themselves in the market and negotiating offers.

I also know what it's like to start again. I moved to Australia and rebuilt my own career here, learning a new market from the candidate's side as well as the recruiter's.

“I've spent my career understanding what makes someone the right hire. Now I use that experience to help people make their next move.”

06 - FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

Who do you work with?

I work mainly with professionals in Australia, from specialists and product managers to senior executives. Around half of my clients work in technology, but I've also worked with people in finance, healthcare and other professional fields. I also work with startups, SMEs and recruitment partners that need help finding and hiring the right people.

Do you guarantee I'll get a job?

No - and I'd be cautious of anyone who does. Hiring decisions are ultimately made by employers. What I can do is help you understand where you're getting stuck, strengthen how you present yourself and make sure you're properly prepared when the right opportunity comes.

What is 482 sponsorship, and am I eligible?

The Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) allows Australian employers to sponsor eligible skilled workers. Depending on your circumstances, a sponsorship pathway may also be available through a licensed labour hire provider. Eligibility depends on your occupation, experience, the role and other visa requirements - we can discuss it during the intro call.

Is everything online?

Yes - all sessions are available online, so we can work together wherever you are in Australia. In-person sessions can sometimes be arranged in Sydney.

How much does it cost?

The 10-minute intro call is free. A one-off consultation is AUD $220 per hour. For larger pieces of work, such as a resume rewrite, interview preparation or ongoing support, I'll confirm the scope and cost with you before we start.

Looking for your next opportunity - or the right person for your team?

Tell me what's happening. We'll work out whether I can help and what the next step should be.
