About The Recruitment Academy
The Recruitment Academy was built on a simple belief: the best recruitment advice and training comes from people who have actually done the job.
My career has taken me across the international recruitment industry, working throughout New Zealand, Australia, the UK and Europe. I've experienced recruitment from multiple perspectives, as a high-performing recruiter, a leader responsible for building and developing teams, and a manager of award-winning recruitment agencies.
As a recruiter, I became a million-dollar biller, giving me first-hand experience of what it takes to build a successful desk, develop long-term client relationships and consistently perform in a highly competitive market. I later moved into leadership, where I built and led recruitment teams and managed award-winning agencies, developing people at every stage of their recruitment careers.
MY APPROACH TO LEARNING
From High Performance to Developing Others
I've delivered recruitment training across New Zealand, Australia, the United States and Latin America, working with recruiters, leaders and recruitment businesses to improve performance across the complete recruitment lifecycle.
My approach to training is practical, commercial and grounded in the realities of recruitment. It's not about teaching theory for theory's sake. It's about giving recruiters tools, frameworks and techniques they can take back to their desks and use immediately, whether that's winning new business, growing existing accounts, improving client conversations, developing candidate relationships or becoming stronger leaders.

Recruitment Expertise That Goes Beyond Training
The Recruitment Academy isn't only a training business.
I continue to work directly within the recruitment market, partnering with organisations to identify and secure specialist talent across Technology, Financial Services and Executive & C-Suite appointments throughout New Zealand and Australia.
That connection to the market matters. It means the advice and training I provide isn't based on how recruitment worked five or ten years ago. It's informed by what's happening in the market today—the challenges employers face, how candidate expectations are changing and what it takes to attract exceptional people in increasingly competitive talent markets.
Ultimately, both sides of The Recruitment Academy are built around the same thing: people and performance.
Whether I'm helping an organisation find an exceptional leader or helping a recruitment team become better at what they do, the objective is to create meaningful, lasting results.
