Wowee, where do I start with this Recruitment Chinwag? Have you met Sandy Deemester-Pohl? What a journey!
Let's start with her history. Born in France to French/ Mauritian parents, at the age of 7 her creative father pointed at a map and moved the family to New Caledonia. Now the journey begins! Sandy takes us across the world, from sailing the high seas working on Cruise Ships, to living and working in locations such as Whitsundays, Darwin, Brisbane, Sydney, Gold Coast and now Canberra (I may have missed a few- it was quite an adventure!)
We talk through how Sandy landed her dream career in Talent Acquisition, and learn all about her career journey and the lessons she has learned along the way. We nerd out about how cool the Tertiary sector is (Sandy now works at The University of Canberra) and land on an episode hashtag #ownyourpower
This is just the tip of the iceberg! Give it a spin! Enjoy!
Today's Chinwag is with the delightful Melisah Collins from Hotel X, all the way from the sunny Gold Coast!
We talk through Melisah's life journey - from growing up in Toowoomba to studying Business and HR at Uni in Brisbane. We discuss her passion for Recruitment and HR and how she entered the Industry as a casual HR Coordinator with Michael Hill, and all the fabulous experience she has gained between her first role and her current position as a Human Resources Manager in the Hospitality sector.
We are both incredibly passionate about non-linear career pathways (the squigglier the better!) and how to bring your authentic self to your position and workplace everyday.
The Recruitment and Talent Industry is not just made up of the Recruiters that are on the tools. We are a vast ecosystem of professionals in a variety of specialisations. From Marketing to Legal, to Risk and HR. We are a broad Industry of passionate professionals that help make us the fabulous Industry that we all love.
So, I decided to mix it up a bit and have a chinwag with the wonderful Brandon De Souza! Brandon is a People & Culture Advisor within the Recruitment agency Talent International.
A fellow Campbelltown boy (I scream - go team C-Town!), we walk through Brandon's career journey from University to finding his dream role and company culture with Talent International.
Live from Porpoise Spit! (Tweed Heads, NSW) Who needs some entertainment? Well, here is your fix! Today I was joined for a Recruitment Chinwag by the fabulous Dean Elllis. We have had so many guests, with a variety of different experiences on the Podcast. But this is the first time I have spoken to a Recruiter who ran away with the circus, literally! We walk through Dean's history, from growing up in his parents Hotel in Albury Wodonga, to his high school years living with this Grandparents in Gippsland, and moving to Coolum Beach as a young adult. We kick off his career journey with Dean joining the circus and travelling the world. He then joined the Defence Force, started his own "Uber-esque" IT consulting service, and finally moved into recruitment (keeping up?) So many nuggets of wisdom, so many laughs, and such an inspiring story. Listeners, never be afraid to take a risk in life, and your career! Enjoy!
Wow! What an inspirational Chinwag this is with "ITA's award winning Talent Professional of the Year 2023" Kaylee Langbridge from HelloFresh ANZ! We talk through Kaylee's history, and her journey as a young Queer person, leaving home at the age of 16 and becoming financially independent while she studied Psychology and Behavioural Science at University. We chat through her experience working in Fast Food (she can make a Meatball foot-long in under 30 seconds) and her corporate experience working in field sales and partnerships. Enter the big monster of Recruitment, that drew her into it's clutches, further igniting her passion for people, and becoming a true "architect of change" We have loads of laughs along way too! Enjoy!
Happy Monday listeners! Today I was joined by Dave Pytko for another fabulous Recruitment Chinwag!
Picture this- a TA leadership role in a company that grew from 1600 to 7000 employees within 2 years! 1000 active vacancies at one stage! *grey hair alert! This was the reality for Dave in his current role with Scope Australia. And what an incredible job he has done.
We walk through Dave's career, from a Coal Mining Town in NSW, to the Blue Mountains, to Sydney, to Daydream Island, to Glasgow, to Perth, and now Melbourne! Geez! It's quite the journey.
We also discuss the hugely important topic of Recruiter burn-out and mental health. An authentic and beautifully vulnerable Chinwag.

Taking the leap - What I learned from starting my own Recruitment business
What a wonderful Recruitment Chinwag this is! Today I had the pleasure of catching up with the incredible Karine McAuliffe from Gilbert + Tobin.
We take a trip back to the start of Karine's career, in fact we go all the way back to her High School days in Kings Cross, her Tertiary studies and Retail jobs. We talk through her very first role in the Recruitment Industry, stapling CV's , and why she decided that Recruitment and Talent Acquisition was the dream career path for her.
Karine gives some fantastic advice to anyone working in the Recruitment Industry, and very strong tips on how to form valuable a partnership between Agency and Internal teams. With a breadth of experience across generalist HR & Talent Acquisition (both in London and Sydney) and in complex Industries such as Insurance and Legal, there is something for everyone here.
The hot topics of 2023 - Talent Advisory, Skills Based Hiring, Internal Mobility, Talent Management and Succession Planning. All of the above are covered in this Recruitment Chinwag with Pamela Sutherland from Volkswagon. Pamela is not only passionate about teams shifting into a "Talent Advisory" model, she demonstrates why it is so important and valuable for talent teams to take this approach. 60-70% Internal Mobility stats in her previous role! PHWOAR! We also have a fun reflection on Pamela's career to date, and she gives some great tips and advice for anyone working in our field. Very wise advice from a 25 year old! Enjoy!

Where do I start with this episode? We certainly covered a-lot of ground! Meet Chris Goulas of Care Recruitment!
I loved this Chinwag - such an incredible Career, spanning sales, customer service, operations, in key leadership roles. After studying Science at University, and completing a Post-Grad in Forensic Science, Chris moved into the Insurance Industry at AAMI. After 7.5 years at AAMI and 2.5 years at UniSuper, he transitioned to Agency Recruitment. He then transitioned to Internal Recruitment, and back to Agency as a business founder (10 days in!)
Chris gives us some candid observations and advice that is appropriate for anyone working in the Recruitment Industry. And a rather cool claim to fame, especially for Neighbours fans - Chris grew up over the road from Erinsborough High School - now that alone is worth a download!
I love this Chinwag for so many reasons! Firstly, it was great to catch up with David Hooker, an Insurance Recruiter I have known for a long time. In fact, we used to be (friendly) competitors! We take a walk through David's incredible career and he shares loads of great tips and advice for any Recruiter, based off the lessons he has learned over the years. We also discuss his new business "RecAlliance" which is all about harvesting buying power as a collective, to save Recruitment Businesses on their everyday expenses. A really solid example of Australian Innovation. This episode is not to be missed! Enjoy!
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want.....I wanna really, really, really wanna Zig-A-Zig-AH! And I did just that, whilst having a Recruitment Chinwag with the amazing Ziggy Dequito. We take a journey back to the Phillipines, and learn about Ziggy's family and childhood. We walk through his career, from being a famous Radio DJ, moving into Marketing, arriving in Australia with his Mrs and working within the Marketing function of a Recruitment Agency. Ziggy had always wanted to move into SaaS Marketing, and has now landed his dream job with the team at WorkPro! We also nerd out about EVP and Employer Branding. Some really great tips and advice for anyone who is interested in amplifying their brand. It's a great listen! Enjoy!

Today I had a wonderful Chinwag with Bianca Ward from EmployeeXP all the way from sunny Perth, Western Australia.
We talk about non-traditional pathways into the workplace, and share our personal journeys of how we moved into HR. We have a really great chat about what "Traditional HR" looks like, and how this has evolved and changed post-pandemic.
We take a deeper dive into EVP creation and Employer Branding, and talk about how to utilise your people data to kick off your EVP strategy, without a huge budget. In fact, the practical advice given here showcases that we can all commence this process without spending a single coin!

Regular listeners will know about my passion for the Insurance Industry. So who better to have a Chinwag with, than the incredible Kirstie McElwaine from Chubb!
We learn about Kirstie's experience finding her place in HR as a Talent Acquisition and Recruitment professional. From studying HR at University in Portsmouth, to making a move to Sydney Australia, Kirstie stepped into an Agency Recruitment role to gain sponsorship and has never looked back!
We have a-lot of fun talking about her passion for the Insurance industry (she herself was an Underwriter back in the UK), how Call Centre experience helps you be a better Recruiter, and how being empathetic Recruiter is critical in your day to day role.
