He takes the time to understand both parties, ensures everyone feels heard, and balances outcomes with respect. That kind of authenticity naturally inspires trust.

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.

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.

I am so impressed by Scott's approach as a recruitment consultant. His experience as a recruiter in the Med Device space, built over many years, is evident. His approach is consultative - it's obvious he's not just looking to place a candidate - he is looking for the best outcome for all parties. He acts as a genuine partner throughout the recruitment process, offering sound advice and is willing to challenge appropriately to ensure all factors have been considered.
