Bio
Lexie Deng
Ash is one of the reasons I joined Bench. She successfully recruited me at a time when I was extremely skeptical that any media agency was capable of genuinely putting the mental health of their staff first. She’s a HR practitioner who constantly innovates. While sad she’s leaving Bench, I’m confident that it’ll take her no time at all to become Indispensable in her role. Thanks for everything, Ash.
Jeremy Chan
Working with Ashleigh is a fantastic experience. She builds relationships well internally and externally, and managed a busy recruitment cycle with a highly demanding client group. As a recruiter, Ashleigh successfully placed a significant number of difficult to fill positions, with challenges ranging from regional areas where talent can be difficult to find, to specific experiential client requirements. She's also fun in the office, and great for a chat. Would definitely work with Ash again in the future!
