I wanted to pass on my sincere appreciation for the support provided by Nicole throughout this recruitment process, even though I wasn't successful in securing the role this time. From start to finish, Nicole was incredibly professional—she shared detailed interview materials, offered tailored practical advice that helped me prepare thoroughly, and remained responsive whenever I had questions about the role or process. Her dedication to ensuring candidates feel supported and informed really stood out, and I would be keen to be considered for any future suitable roles that may become available through her.

I can't thank Scott enough! He was so helpful and communicative throughout the entire process and really made it so easy. I truly wouldn't have my new role if it wasn't for Scott's help and I am SO grateful.

Nicole has been an outstanding recruiter throughout my job search. From the very beginning, she was proactive, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me secure the right role. She kept me informed at every stage of the process, provided clear guidance to prepare for interviews, and always checked in to ensure I felt confident and supported.

Scott has been outstanding, his ability to tailor a long term solution for the candidate and the employer is remarkable. It clearly takes a high level of emotional intelligence to facilitate longstanding employee/employer retention and satisfaction. Any new direction in a career comes with risk and doubt for all parties Scott clearly listens and tailors the right solution and fit whilst pivoting to changing needs and criteria during the process.

Ranee (Candidate)

Scott has been the most professional recruiter whom I have dealt within all my time as a sales representative. Scott excelled in understand my needs for my next role, whilst also challenging me to understand what I wanted and what I may not have considered. Scott was aligned with the job brief and did a great job of selling the company to me (Considering this was a company I had worked for in the past, his insights were spot on and aligned with my previous experience) I also understand that Scott takes significant time to understand the needs and requirements of the hiring manager, to ensure he finds the best candidates for a role. If I was recruiting or looking for my next role, I would choose Scott.

I wanted to say again thank you for your help and advice with getting this role. It was made significantly easier with your dedication to getting it over the line for me with Vernacare. I hope to be able to call you one day soon to get your help to put a team together here locally. You & the PPD team are definitely the go to recruiters for Australia's medical device market.
