Finding the right fit starts with looking a little deeper.
We help Canberra businesses find people who bring more than the right experience. People who fit the team, believe in where the business is going and can grow with it.
Because when the right person meets the right opportunity, everyone wins.
Sonia Strickland
Recruiter | Business Owner | Coach | Connector by nature
Sonia has spent more than 20 years working across aviation, banking, hospitality, real estate and professional services. She's also been a business owner herself, so she knows that hiring isn't just another task on the list. The right person can change a business. The wrong fit can cost far more than time.
It's what drew Sonia to recruitment, and what still drives her today.
She has a natural instinct for people and a knack for seeing beyond what's written on paper. Sometimes that means finding exactly who a client had in mind. Sometimes it means introducing someone they never would have considered.
As a qualified career and personal development coach, Sonia also works closely with candidates navigating career changes, returning to work or finding their feet in the Australian workforce.
For Sonia, the best part is still the moment it all comes together. The business has found its person, the candidate has found their place and it just fits.
The right person on paper isn't always the right person in practice.
Skills and experience matter. But so do personality, working style, values and ambition.
That's why we look beyond what's written in the brief. We get to know the business behind it, the team around it and the person stepping into it.
Because we're not here to find someone who can do the job. We're here to find someone who fits.
