At Collins Consulting, we have worked with some of the most talented and accomplished people in the industry. Here some of them talk about the experience of working with Australia’s leading Executive Search firm in the financial services sector.
Cathy Doyle | Group Executive | People & Culture Perpetual
At Perpetual our people are our most significant business asset. Being able to work in partnership with an organisation that has the same philosophy has been enlightening and refreshing. Collins' approach to working on roles with us is refreshing - using their knowledge and understanding of the financial services sector they assist in scoping out roles and capability requirements with our leaders; they offer suggestions on recruitment processes and alternative options; they price segments components of what you want and are always available to talk through options. Their approach is relationship based and they get repeat business from us because their last piece of work they completed with us was done so well. They always follow up with clients and candidates; portray your brand and protect it as if it were their own, and have such honesty and integrity that if they don't feel they can undertake something for you they tell you. When one of your key organisational values is being trustworthy, Collins provides a wonderful external example of that.
Head of Infrastructure
“The new role, from a personal and professional perspective has exceeded my expectations. This highlights the benefits of an experienced and perceptive consultant who adds value through client and market knowledge and long-term relationships, enabling more tailored and effective employment services that ultimately benefit all parties to the equation.”
Michael Young
“I have had the opportunity to experience how Collins consulting operates, from both a candidate and an employer perspective. In a profession that is plagued by 'cowboys' and transaction-based operators, Collins is a company with a refreshing difference. They deliver what they promise, are always uncompromisingly professional, and understand that the earning trust is the key to success. In this respect, Collins stands 'head and shoulders' above its peers. In my opinion, Collins consulting has the business model and ethics its competitors should aspire to.”
Rodney Green, Managing Director
I have known and used Collins Consulting in various capacities over the past 8 years. I have always found the firm to have the highest ethics with a real interest in understanding and fulfilling the client's needs.
Chief Investment Officer
I have been dealing with Collins for many years and have always found their approach very professional with a genuine interest in finding the right candidate, not just getting the job done. I am very pleased with the people that have come from Collins' assignments and the way we have been represented in the market place.
John O'Rourke
I have worked with Collins Consulting both as a candidate and as an employer over a 10-year investment banking period. Most recently, Sharon Mackie successfully facilitated an alliance agreement between our new independently owned venture group and a major bank.
Whilst Sharon's mandate was to deliver a team to the bank, she took the time and effort to fully understand the particular requirements of myself and my colleagues and our proposed business model, and very professionally married that with her client's objectives. Sharon's specialist knowledge of financial markets was also invaluable during the negotiation period.
