Bio
Sarah Holtshousen
If it weren't for Taryn, I don't think I'd finally have made the career transition I've been wanting for a very long time. Not only did she manage to find the most suitable role for me, she took my personality into consideration and carefully placed me in a work environment I'd thrive in. When I felt unsure, Taryn took time to listen to my concerns and gave her honest opinion. She offered her advice and gave me courage to take a step in the right direction for me. Having spoken to a number of people in the industry, I've only heard positive feedback about Taryn. 12/10 would recommend having her in your corner.

Taryn is by far the best recruiter I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She treats all candidates with utmost care and respect and sees them throughout their career constantly checking in. She understands our agency’s requirement and what we’re looking for in candidates, in terms of soft skills and technical requirements. Our company culture is hugely important to us and Taryn gets this and has placed some exceptional team members within our global Ops team. She is nothing short of a pleasure to work with and is supremely efficient, professional and fun to work with! We have hired many new staff over the last few years to support the growth of our company and Taryn has been at the centre of the majority of them. Candidates she has placed into our agency cannot speak highly enough of her either.

Manager - Digital Media & Performance Marketing
-
Aug 2012 - Feb 2015
I was headhunted into this role to report into one of the Founders of the business and set-up the media & performance marketing team. This was a new market for the agency so I had the exciting challenge of coming in and setting everything up from scratch. I worked with a range of clients from small independent start-up agencies through to your large international media groups. I personally recruited senior level hires across Digital, Client Services, Media Planning & Buying, Data & Analytics, SEO & PPC and Project Management. My strength was working with start-up teams & businesses and having to find the best talent who were available on short notice. I also had responsibility of hiring my own team and managing them day to day. Show less
