For Talent

James was very personable and put me at ease very quickly during our call. He was great at teasing out the important aspects of my resume and helping me think about my experience in a different way. I felt that he was interested in me and my career objectives, rather than trying to pigeon hole me to fill a role.

My experience with Pacific Talent Partners was overall positive and supportive, enabling a high level of engagement and extremely professional.

Having met scores of recruiters over the years, I was expecting a similarly average service but James took the time to ask lots of questions and listen to what my career growth goals were.

I found James’ approach refreshing and engaging. I believe this would translate into good outcomes.

James was extremely professional and responsive after reviewing my CV for a specific role. He followed up promptly and then arranged a time to meet despite me not being suitable for the specific role I applied for. We had an engaging discussion which was greatly appreciated.

I received a response quickly to my initial reach out. I was lucky to be interviewed for initial discussion by a quality consultant who was well prepared and conducted a well managed interview.

I have been working with James Lourey who has taken the time to understand me, and I assume all candidates, in order to find his client the best fit for a critical role. Professional & personable.

During this job search I’m finding it very rare for consultants to take the time to even pick up the phone to talk to candidates that have applied for advertised roles. Elliot took the time to set up a meeting and understand my background and also what I’m looking for in my next role. My experience to date is that this is very rare amongst consultants currently.

Responsive and considered, interested in candidates perspective.

Alistair’s candidate care has been outstanding. From the original call, to meeting in person and truly taking the time to understand me. What has been most impressive is how he has gone out of his way to connect me to a number of leaders from Afterpay to other connections to open a dialogue which may lead to either consulting or full-time work. Its been an absolute pleasure working with him.

Alistair shows a genuine interest in understanding the candidate, and is more than willing to explore, discuss and offer value based on his own experience and insight.

James was very thorough with his screening of me as a candidate, first over the phone and then a follow-up face to face meeting. He asked intelligent questions to really understand me and my skills, experience and career goals. This level of investment in getting to know me as the candidate prior to recommending me for interview to the client is reassuring that due diligence in the screening process was applied.
