Anna Skeels
Executive Recruitment and Outplacement Services/ Expert
I recently used Anna to successfully find a CEO for a community based organisation that I Chair. Anna is a genius at taking the brief and is great at finding suitable candidates at speed. I loved working with Anna as she was able to take on board my feedback on initial candidates to refine her search. Anna can assist with questions for interview and worked seamlessly with my team to set up interviews. The paperwork was easily done and the referee reports were thorough and insightful. I would highly recommend.

Throughout, Anna was responsive and communicative, leaving me very clear about the process and timing of the recruitment process. It was also very apparent that Anna had a great understanding about both my future employer and what they were looking for in their ideal candidate, as well as who I was as a person and the particular skills and interests I had. She could see the potential fit even when I initially had some hesitation, and I’m grateful to her for her advice and engagement throughout the process.
Aram Hosie,
Chief of Staff, Save The Children Australia (Candidate perspective)
It has been a pleasure working with Anna who consistently demonstrates a proactive and committed approach to her projects. Her active listening skills ensure she sources candidates with not only the right skill-set and qualifications, but also with values aligned to those of our organisation. She provided us with a good overview of the current market and recommend sourcing strategies, and has successfully placed two of our senior leaders, most recently our Head of Development & Innovation. Thank you, Anna.
