• Recruitment Consultant

  • Jan 2006 - Sep 2007

  IPA is one of the largest privately owned Recruitment companies in Australia, employing over 530 staff across more than 50 branches nationally. As a consultant really starting out in the industry IPA gave me the solid and focussed grounding I needed to make in roads into my chosen career. Initially I started running a permanent desk but as demand for our services increased, I was charged with running both a temporary and permanent desk across a broad range of industries whilst also managing key accounts in the region. My dutries were not restricted to running two desks as I was always looking at developing new business to increase my portfolio of opportunities in the region. Show less
