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.

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

Yvette demonstrated exceptional dedication, insightfulness, analytical skill, technical proficiency, and empathy in my recruitment process. She definitely exceeds the traditional expectations of a 'Recruiter,' consistently maintaining honesty and transparency throughout the entire process. I'm extremely thankful that our paths crossed.

Yvette has been fantastic. She has clearly assessed my experience and skill set to judge if further involvement in the interview process is appropriate and at the same time has supplied me with all I need to present myself and my skill set clearly to the client.
