My experience in hiring, training, and performance management has given me a strong foundation to excel as a recruiter.

For businesses looking to add a recruiter to their team, I bring:

I am eager to bring these skills into a recruitment role in Perth, build long-term success in the industry, and secure sponsorship with a company that values dedication, performance, and growth.
