About Yvette

A technical recruitment consultant with a difference.

As a technical recruitment consultant, I love helping companies successfully recruit highly skilled ‘technical’ people.

I am not merely matching buzzwords, but invest time to learn how your business works and the specifics of each role. I gain enormous satisfaction knowing I have helped make a difference to your business!

More than two decades in this field has shown me that a successful outcome for companies and candidates arises from connecting the dots between the hiring company needs, what the candidate has to offer, and their requirements.

This will include:

  • Professional skills and education
  • Experience
  • Personal attributes, attitudes and behaviours
  • Practical requirements: remuneration and location
  • Motivation

Get all of those five elements right and we have found the right person for the right job.

What is everyone else saying?

Yvette has good industry knowledge and the ability to match a person to an appropriate role, and visa versa.  She is thorough in making sure the candidate understands the company's requirements and sets them up in the best way possible to have a good interview.

Yvette's ability to source offshore Engineering/Technical candidates outperforms most of the recruiters we work with in that space.

Yvette has quite literally gone the extra mile for me. She has applied her vast experience in recruiting to sift out the very essence of who I am and what qualities would best suit both her clients' needs and my aspirations. Not one to stand on ceremony, she is efficient and honest in her appraisal of my capabilities. This has given me great confidence that she can place me in a role that I will thrive in.

Candidate

Yvette has been very helpful in every step of the way - from preliminary screening to offering the job. She provides insight as to the nature of the job and working environment, interviewers' background, tips for interview, and more. Friendly yet professional. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Candidate

I have had the pleasure of knowing Yvette for the past three years and of all the agencies I have dealt with she was the only one that followed up and kept in touch. Yvette was also successful in placing me in a great role.

Great lady and great at her job.
