We couldn't be happier In a very competitive candidate market, being a relative unknown brand in the market we were having difficulty attracting the right candidates for our sales roles. I was referred to Michelle by one of our employees who had worked with Michelle as a candidate and told me that she wasn’t like any other recruiter he had worked with. I contacted Michelle and from the initial conversation I knew that what I had been told was true. From that initial conversation, Michelle was interested in finding out about our business – what made us different from our competitors, what were our aspirations for the future, our culture and values. In other words, how she could represent our brand to prospective candidates as I would – a representative of the company and not ‘selling’ the job as is traditional with other recruitment professionals. Michelle gave me the confidence I needed that she would represent our Company in the best possible light without over or under selling the challenges that prospective candidates would face. This resulted in candidates being referred to us that were not only well prepared for the role but their expectations were matched to what we were offering. We ended up hiring several candidates across our Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane offices through Michelle and we couldn’t have been happier with the calibre and quality of all the candidates referred to us.

If you are looking for a recruiter who will partner with you to deliver the results that you are looking for then I would not hesitate to recommend Michelle and Hunter Jacobs as the standout boutique recruitment agency.

An exceptional recruiter I worked with Luke to place a Senior Sales Executive role for Macmillan Education Australia. Luke was professional and really listened to our needs. Under a very specific and narrow description of what we were looking for, Luke found exceptionally strong candidates and we filled this critical role within a very short time frame. I highly recommend Luke as an exceptional recruiter.

Instrumental in growing the NZ and Australian businesses. I initially worked with Luke as a candidate when he approached me to discuss a senior role. Luke was excellent to deal with in this capacity – he knew the role well and was transparent with me at every step. It was a long and involved process and ultimately I was successful in securing the role. Now as a client, I hired Luke to find me a senior BDM in Auckland and one in Melbourne. Luke provided an exceptional service and we got a great result in both Auckland and Melbourne. Both of these candidates quickly became assets to the business and hit the ground running; they were instrumental in growing the NZ and Australian businesses. Having worked with Luke as both a candidate and client successfully, I can highly recommend him as an experienced, methodical and professional executive recruitment consultant.

Agile When Listening I worked with Michelle on a particularly tough assignment to bring together a specialist business development team within a 2 month timescale from start to finish. She had to really attack the task in hand with energy and commitment but, in particular, she had to be agile when listening to feedback on candidates to adjust and respond accordingly. We recruited two strong team members from Michelle's headhunting, and I am confident they will make a terrific contribution to our company’s success.

...she understands me and my organisation I've worked closely with Michelle for almost 3 years to successfully place multiple candidates into my business. Michelle is an excellent recruiter who makes an effort to understand the employer and candidate perspectives. Through this understanding, Michelle regularly demonstrates she understands me and my organisation's needs in short listing and preparing candidates who will be a good fit.

One of the best experiences I've ever had with a recruiter Luke helped me place a Sales Executive for Full Circle Group and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had with a recruiter. Luke was so professional and found us someone perfect for our organisation despite me providing him with a tight deadline. He is intuitive with excellent communication skills and is an expert in his field. I will gladly work with Luke again.
