What makes me different

I have 10 years' experience in the industry. First getting into recruitment in 2008 for Sthree in the UK. I was one of the first hires for Sthree in the UK after the global financial crisis and quickly found a job that I loved and career to be successful within. Since then, the recruitment industry provided me with the opportunity to move to Sydney, Australia and work for a business that provided me with a great platform to understand the market and region to continue to grow.

Having known and respected Darren from my days in the UK, my role at Opus was as the founder of the first International office for the Opus Group, opening the Sydney office in November 2014. As a region, I have overseen the business from five staff, zero clients, zero revenue through to the second largest division of Opus globally. We now stand at 40 people and excess of $30,000,000 turnover.

There is lots of opportunity here. The company is set up to provide a platform for people to achieve whatever they aspire to. I have trained people without any experience and seen them become managers of large teams in work and changed their life outside work. And it’s not easy to continually be the best in the industry, but we manage to do that year on year.
