If you're a boutique recruitment agency owner spending too much of your day sourcing and screening candidates instead of closing placements and growing your client base, this is for you.
I help boutique Australian recruitment agencies stop losing billable hours to sourcing and screening by delivering a consistent, high-quality candidate pipeline without the cost of hiring a local recruiter, so you can focus entirely on closing and growing the business.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
Over the past 13+ months working exclusively with a Sydney-based boutique recruitment agency specialising in insights, analytics, and social research, I've delivered:
• 439 candidate screens with a 60.8% quality yield
• 362 LinkedIn InMails sent at a 34.5% acceptance rate - above the 20-25% industry benchmark
• 10 confirmed placements sourced directly through LinkedIn Recruiter
• Consistent shortlists delivered to the principal recruiter. Ready for client presentation
• Ad hoc market mapping and competitor research to support client strategy
The result? The principal recruiter / owner stays focused on what generates revenue. I handle everything behind the scenes.
What I do for you:
• Strategic sourcing across LinkedIn Recruiter, SEEK, and talent databases using advanced Boolean search
• Consultative candidate screening via phone or Teams. I will assess job fit, salary expectations, and motivation
• Shortlist preparation with written candidate summaries ready for client presentation
• Job ad writing and posting on SEEK and LinkedIn
• ATS management and database maintenance. I have direct experience in Bullhorn and JobAdder and happy to adjust to your ATS
• Ad hoc market mapping, talent landscaping, and competitor research
• AI-assisted workflow improvements to reduce manual tasks and improve turnaround time
Why boutique Australian agencies work with me:
• I'm not a generalist freelancer who dabbles in recruitment on the side. This is my craft and the Australian market is my focus.
• I understand the pace of boutique agency life. The tight timelines, high client expectations, and the pressure of being a small team wearing multiple hats. I've been operating inside that environment for over a year and I know what good looks like.
• I bring 9 years of recruitment experience across the Philippines, UK, US, and Australia. With the last 13 months dedicated entirely to the Australian market across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. I'm fluent in the tools Australian agencies actually use: LinkedIn Recruiter, SEEK, Bullhorn, JobAdder. And I work autonomously with minimal hand-holding.
• My home office is fully equipped. I have my own device, backup internet, standing desk, noise-cancelling headset, and HD webcam. No downtime, no excuses.
A bit about how I work:
I operate as a true sourcing partner, not just a task executor. I take the brief, I map the market, I find the people you can't find, and I hand you a shortlist worth presenting. I flag issues early, communicate clearly, and I take pride in the quality of every candidate I put in front of you.
If you're looking for someone to fill a seat cheaply, I'm probably not your person. But if you want a reliable, experienced sourcing specialist who understands your market and delivers without needing to be managed, let's talk.
