Finding a recruiter who truly understands your profession and can critically evaluate your career journey is exceptionally rare. Many recruiters lack full visibility into the dynamic changes occurring across different industries, particularly in specialized professions. The Big Four career path is one that evolves constantly, and I’ve observed that many recruiters struggle to fully grasp the nuances of these roles and how they can transition seamlessly into the commercial sector. However, Ian stands out as an exception. He possesses an exceptional ability to identify and support individuals transitioning from Big Four roles, offering tailored advice to help them secure their first position in the commercial world. I am incredibly grateful for Ian's guidance and the role he played in my placement. Working with him was an exceptionally rewarding experience, and I would highly recommend Ian to anyone navigating a similar career journey. Thank you, Ian, for your invaluable support and expertise!

Ian had a good read and feel of the company's culture and job requirements. He was able to provide a couple of good quality candidates within a day. The whole process was fast and easy and I was able to secure a contractor for the half year review within a few days. Overall, very satisfied with the quality of service.

He truly invested his time and effort in ensuring that both the company's requirements and my expectations were met, resulting in a mutually beneficial partnership.

I first met Ian 8 months ago when I was making the move to commercial accounting. What stood out was Ian's willingness to help me prepare for an interview that wasn't for his client. I recently reached out to him and he willingly helped me look for this role but he did challenge me if I was making the right decision for looking after only 6 months. His favourite quote is "I play the long game" and that is testament he cares about relationship.

Ian was great to deal with, having dealt with many recruitment agents in the past. He was very upfront with me about role suitability and put me forward for a role that I otherwise would not have considered. I have since secured that role and enjoying it greatly. Ian has also taken to time to share advice with me when it was my turn to interview applicants. I would look to use Ian’s services in the future as I consider him a trusted advisor.

Ian will take the time to understand your requirements and forward candidates who demonstrate the right skill set at the right level required. I feel I can trust Ian when sending resumes that the candidates have been vetted and would be a good fit to my team and the organisation. We have made several placements with Ian, and that's testimony to him knowing his candidates and being honest about their strengths. Ian has great insight to the Perth market and is the first recruitment agencies I utilise to meet long or short term needs.
