Justine Terese

Business Development Manager, Optometry Australia

Genuine care!

From start to finish, Gabrielle was a joy to interact with—her communication was fabulous, and she brought such enthusiasm and empathy to the table. She genuinely cared about finding the right fit for me and negotiated brilliantly on my behalf. Gabrielle made the whole process smooth and enjoyable, and I couldn’t be happier with the Business Development Manager position she helped me secure.

Gaye Wealthy

People & Culture Executive

Professional, committed and effective

Gab is a highly professional, committed and effective executive recruitment consultant. All interactions with Gab have been courteous, positive and helpful. Gab takes the time to get to know her clients and prospective employers to ensure the match. I could not recommend her highly enough and I'm looking forward to a continued relationship into the future.

People & Capability Business Partner, Oxfam Australia

She knows her stuff

Gab is a great operator when it comes to recruitment and someone I would absolutely go back to as a trusted advisor in this space. She knows her stuff, is so easy to work with, supported me and the team to get the best outcome on a short turnaround, kept me updated at every step of the way, and is just a genuinely lovely person to work through tricky or technical recruitment matters with. Her people-centric approach, her dedication and her kindness put me at ease that I had the right person on the job.

Bec Phippen

Chief of Staff, Legacy Melbourne

I had the pleasure of meeting with Gabrielle...

Gab is an excellent and highly professional recruitment consultant. My dealings with Gab have been so wonderful, her communication always finding time for you, and expertise has been so valuable to me. The trust was instant and she has a great ability to make you feel valued and supported. I could not recommend her highly enough and would continue to use her as a client of mine if the situation arose.

Nick Moloney

Deputy Principal, Marcellin College

I felt listened to

Gab spent time listening to the needs of our College and what was required from a candidate. Her work in vetting and finding the best applicant saved me hours of work. We had been looking for a HR Officer for months and upon seeking help from Gab, we had a candidate in days who we have now employed. Gab was terrific in this process and communicated well and kept me in the loop. Thank you.

Communications & Engagement Officer, Fka Childrens Services

Invaluable!

Gabrielle’s guidance and insights are invaluable. Smart, kind, Gabrielle has the ability to perfect match the right person with the right organisation.

Aleisha Hall

Acting Head of External Relations, Wildlife Victoria

Smooth and easy recruitment process

Gabrielle's work on behalf of Wildlife Victoria ensured a quick appointment and an overall smooth and easy recruitment process. The calibre of the candidates put forward was of the highest standard and showed her understanding of the role and the organisation. Would highly recommend Gabrielle to other non-profit organisations.

Jody Kelly

Manager People Services, Wildlife Victoria

Gab was a pleasure to work with

We all know that December is not a great time to be looking for new staff. I found Gab on LinkedIn and decided to have a catch up with her to see if she was right for our NFP. One call and I was convinced that Gab would do her best to help us find the right candidate for our 12 month PR role and she didn't disappoint. Whilst other Agencies closed for a few weeks, Gab worked through and presented us with very high calibre candidates making it a pleasure but difficult to short-list down to 4 for interviews. All impressed us, but in the end one candidate stood out and we were able to negotiate quickly for that important 'we need someone now' date to start. Gab was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great experience in working with a small Agency where you feel important as a client and not one among many clients trying to be serviced.
