“Raelene keeps outstanding communications, delivers fast and take on board client’s needs and feedback.”
Head Of HR
“I had a fantastic experience with Raelene. Her assistance and guidance were invaluable throughout my job search – from securing interviews to signing the work contract and even ongoing follow-ups after successful onboarding. Raelene’s approach was spot-on; she assessed my background and strengths in the context of the role her client aimed to fill. This set her apart, as other recruiters often reach out without considering role requirements. Her thoughtful and effective questions showed Raelene’s understanding of JDs and organisations. A definite positive feedback from me!”
