Who we are

At Quay, we work hard at being agile. We’re fast on our feet and able to pivot in accordance with the needs of our clients and any changes within their search criteria. We listen, more than we talk, we are focused and committed to exceeding the expectations of our customers and candidates alike.

What we do

We find the best people for your business. In today’s business environment organisations are finding it increasingly challenging to source and retain high performing talent. As recruitment specialists, we are part of the market, not visitors. We know where to look, how to identify and recruit the very best the market has to offer. We have mapped our markets and have forged strong relationships with our clients, candidates and networks. We understand the needs and drivers of our industries and its people.

...

At Quay we provide a tailored approach to recruitment. We place significant emphasis on our ability to understand your recruitment needs today whilst planning for tomorrow.
We are agile, we keep things simple and we are relied upon and trusted to deliver a great customer experience.

How we do it

We network…constantly…It’s not a competition to see who can collect as many business cards as possible. To us networking is key to our success. Less about what someone can do for us, more about what we can do to help others. It’s a simple ethos but perhaps one that is overlooked a little more than it should be. We network to keep in touch, to connect and to remain connected. We pride ourselves on our ability to minimise the time you spend looking for and interviewing candidates, we ensure we only recommend candidates that we believe are the best fit for your organisation, your team and the opportunity on offer. Once we have a comprehensive brief from you we start engaging with the right people to find you the right person.

We are all unique

Every single one of us is unique, an absolute masterpiece. At its core being unique is “being the only one if it’s kind; unlike anything else”. At Quay this is celebrated and encouraged, we all have different drivers, needs and aspirations. Knowing what these are and what makes you, you, helps us introduce you to clients and candidates alike whose unique offering is matched. More often than not candidates don’t have every element that is in the position description, what makes them successful is their uniqueness. It’s what they bring to the table that only they can bring and no-one else. We believe in matching the right people to the right organisation to achieve great things together. We are advocates of change because where there is change there is opportunity.

I started my recruitment journey, (and it is a journey) in Sydney in 2003 recruiting predominantly Project Resources into the Banking and Financial Services industry across Australia and APac for a small boutique recruitment organisation. I have worked in Sydney and Melbourne markets in both agency and internal roles for multinational organisations.
I have been very fortunate in my time to have worked with not only some of the greatest organisations in Australia but also work alongside many of what I believe are some of the greatest Recruitment Consultants and Recruitment Leaders in Australia. Many of whom have remained lifelong friends and others I have lost contact with over time but hold in the highest regard. It is an industry I left and have returned to because of my passion for it. I have placed professionals into everything from Financial Services through Manufacturing, Retail, Management Consulting and the Automotive industry. I started Quay Resources believing I could leverage my experience and networks to offer a better experience for our clients and candidates. I very much enjoy the challenge of helping clients build high performing teams and candidates into a career defining opportunities.
