I recently had the pleasure of working with Rutherford from the Optimum team, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They understand my goals and ensured a smooth transition, and I truly felt valued as a candidate. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a supportive, results-driven recruitment team!

I would like to acknowledge Marianne in the tremendous amount of effort she has invested in my efforts to align with a suitable employer.At the very outset, Marianne gained a very thorough and in-depth understanding of my professional capabilities, skills and through some very detailed analysis, she was able to connect my skillset with a number of opportunities that presented a great fit both in terms of what values I can create for these firms with my capabilities and how I match the organisations from a personality perspective.I am especially impressed by Marianne's skills and experiences when it comes to having a very detailed understanding of the macro and micro environments in which my preferred job category sits, and she is even capable of delving further into the idiosyncratic factors of each role and their companies. This knowledge combined with Marianne's ability to form a highly accurate profile of my competencies and technical skills, the interview processes I have undergone are all very productive and efficient.On top of this, Marianne and her assistant - Marian were consistently friendly, professional and available, which gave me a lot of confidence conversing with them. I would definitely personally recommend Marianne and her team to anyone who is looking to get an effective career alignment through a highly professional personal and industry evaluation.

I had the best experience I could wish for. I was hungry for opportunities for growth and development for a while now and Rutherford Kennedy was right there waiting to open doors for me. First appointment he showed up with an opportunity for me where I didn’t think it would be that sooner! He showed how reliable and consistent Optimum Consulting Group is. It has been less than 2 weeks I have been able to find a new job where I believe it will be amazing. With the support Optimum Consulting Group has provided me I am very happy with their services. The most trusted service anyone can count on! Thank you Rutherford! I appreciate it! Cheers!

After just moving to Brisbane I applied for a job through Optimum Consulting and had the pleasure of dealing with Rutherford Kennedy. Through out the whole process Rutherford was very kind, informative and supportive and got me an amazing job! I would absolutely recommend this agency, by far the best recruitment company I've dealt with.

Sometimes, a Change in Coach is what’s needed
I’m a diehard St George Illawarra Dragons fan. I’ve tipped them every single week this season. Every. Single. Week. And every single week, they’ve let me down. After 11 straight losses, the Dragons finally did what a lot of us had been waiting for and parted ways with Shane Flanagan. And honestly, as painful as it is to admit, it […]

People Don’t Leave Jobs. They Leave Feeling Invisible.
We talk a lot about retention strategies. Salary benchmarking, flexible work arrangements, career progression frameworks. These things matter, but in my experience rarely explain why someone actually hands in their resignation. More often than not, the real reason is simpler: they didn’t feel seen. I’ve spoken to hundreds of candidates over the years, and a […]
