  • From Law to Legal Recruitment: Why I Traded Case Law for Conversations

    Like many year 12 students, I didn’t go into university with a perfectly mapped-out career plan. I chose Law at the UQ for a mix of reasons: expectation, the influence of famous courtroom TV dramas, and if I’m being completely honest… a bit too much of a passion for arguing. I went on to work […]

  • The benefits of Taking Annual Leave in the Workplace

    This year was the first time I went back to Greece in fifteen years, for my friend’s wedding. Had I not have had the wedding, I most likely wouldn’t have gone, putting it off for another year, then another I’m sure. To say I am structured and planned in my life is an understatement. But, […]

  • Should I hire a Mature Aged Candidate?

    At 60 years of age (although I feel like 50) I’ve been in recruitment long enough to know one thing for sure, hiring the right people takes time, patience, and a fair bit of gut instinct. Employers are always talking about building their “dream team,” and I’ve helped enough of them to know that dream […]

  • The Pay Gap Nobody Talks About: What Your Project Manager Title Really Means

    Here’s something no one in construction really says out loud: Two people can stand shoulder-to-shoulder at the same pub, both proudly flashing “Project Manager” on their business card. One is counting coins to split the bill, and the other is at the bar buying a round of Stone & Wood for the entire table. Same […]

  • Rethinking Workplace Motivation in an Age of Uncertainty

    In today’s economic climate where headlines broadcast economic uncertainty, high inflation and job insecurity, traditional methods of employee motivation such as bonuses, perks, and vague promises of future promotion are losing their impact. Employees are arguably more anxious, more skeptical, and more value-driven than ever. In this environment, business leaders will do well to ensure they understand the […]

  • Should You Change Jobs? 5 Signs It’s Time to Move On

    Knowing when it’s time to move on from your job isn’t always straightforward. You might not hate your work, but something just feels off. As a recruiter, I speak to people every day who are on the fence and unsure whether they’re just in a slump or if it’s time for something new. If you’re […]

  • Don’t Kill Culture For Margin

    I think that it is fair to describe the economy as patchy right now. There are good months followed by difficult ones. Costs are rising and sales are not following them at the same rate. Businesses are under pressure to remain profitable.  I spoke to the owner of a business who has been struggling with […]

  • The Key to Career Longevity and Success

    In a world where industries shift overnight, AI transforms workflows, and the “new normal” changes by the quarter, one truth holds firm: the most successful people are those who stay hungry to learn, adapt, remain open to development. As a recruitment consultant, this mindset isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s the lifeblood of staying effective, competitive […]
