We have been involved with Bill on recruitment engagements and are very impressed with his skills and manner. The calibre of candidates put forward has been strong, and Bill's emphasis has always been on fulfilling our need rather than merely making a placement. I have engaged in several business discussions with Bill in which he has displayed a deep understanding of difficult business issues... Bill's industry knowledge places him, in my view, amongst the higher echelon of recruitment experts in Australia.
Geoff was outstanding. He took the time to understand our requirement, and importantly our culture to ensure he could complete the Search accordingly. Geoff respectfully challenged our thinking at various stages in a way that helped us become clearer around our criteria... We are delighted with the outcome, and commend Geoff of his professionalism and quality of service. Without hesitation, we would utilise Geoff and his team at TRANSEARCH again.
What you get with Geoff is lots of conviction and personal commitment. He is always prepared to put forward candidates who at first might seem outside the box, as well as an honest critique of even the almost perfect candidate. With that comes the effort and commitment to deliver an outcome. Having been on both sides of the process, I know he is working in everyone's best interest.
Sandra has demonstrated understanding of TLC's recruitment needs by providing quality candidates using various sourcing methods that demonstrates integrity and ethical behaviour. She is knowledgeable across all areas of the health industry, be it the public or private sector on a national basis. Sandra has been successful in meeting the needs in the areas of either medical, non-medical, specialist, executive and/or other roles relevant to TLC Aged Care.
A brief note to thank you for providing a particularly good outcome with the recent search for our two new Board appointments. The process was efficient and you provided an unusual level of insight and focus at the appropriate junctures. I was very pleasantly surprised at both the calibre of prospects developed and the liaison you provided with the successful candidates. Senior management will benefit from exposure to both of the new Directors and it has arguably been the most efficient search process I've been involved with over the last decade.
Through my time as Managing Director our business undertook critical realignment and restructuring to keep pace with its rapid growth. We went to market to find the best search agency, and for me, the individual to lead that search. I found that with Bill Sakellaris. He understood, and articulated back to me, in his brief, a clear understanding of what I wanted and what the organization needed in terms of skill sets and personality. He took time to talk to other senior staff in my organization to understand the culture and the key drivers of the business and used clear, precise language in a refreshingly honest style in reflecting that back to me... The level and the variety of talent that Bill was able to assemble on all of his briefs was a credit to his skills in this area and always made that final decision difficult! I would unreservedly recommend Bill and his team at TRANSEARCH to any major search assignment you are currently contemplating.
Bill Sakellaris has been personally involved in our Senior Management recruitment process for the past seven years. Bill takes the time to understand your business from an internal and external perspective to ensure he is able to attract, recommend and recruit the best people for the task at hand. Bill is totally professional, easy to talk to and has a straight forward approach which you appreciate as a CEO. His industry knowledge is broad and Bill's ability to match the right candidates to his client's needs is a major consideration for our company retaining Bill's services over a long period of time. We highly recommend Bill and his team for all your recruitment and organizational development needs.
As a small to medium ASX listed enterprise, every hire in our business is critical, so when I first worked with Bill and his team, I was pleased to see them willing to tour our operations and take a genuine interest in our business. I have used both the Executive Search and Executive Recruitment services of the firm and have been very pleased with the calibre of people presented and ultimately chosen. Sensitive assignments were handled with the confidentiality and professionalism I expected and I was impressed with the range of candidates presented who were both on spec and left of centre that challenged my thinking. Bill was particularly focused and interested in understanding our culture, the team within which the person would work and their leadership competencies. I found Bill's judgement and counsel during these senior appointments very useful and unlike many of my previous experiences working with other search firms.
Sandra Brown demonstrated exceptional knowledge of, and connections within, the Australian market in both healthcare and medical research and this was extremely valuable in finding the right candidate quickly.
The position was a role that required an approach of managing some internal sensitivity together with ensuring we received a strong competitive external field. The brief was successfully completed by Sandra Brown with a fantastic outcome for the program.
I just want to thank Sandra Brown for her persistence, professionalism and customer service. Having dealt with several Executive Search firms recently, you certainly set the bar for gold standard. I really appreciate all that you have done to make this a more interesting role, and for creating the two positions.
Thank you again for your hard work and persistence in securing such a great candidate for our Market Intelligence role. I had a great time working with you.
I have had the pleasure of working with Bill Sakellaris since 2009 and found him to be a trusted advisor providing professional executive recruitment and organisational development services... I have subsequently briefed Bill on many recruitment assignments for senior executives. The quality and diversity of candidates has always been impressive. The recruitment process undertaken by Bill has been professional, organised, timely, honest, flexible, insightful and consultative at every stage. I would have no hesitation in using Bill's services again and would highly recommend him for senior executive recruitment across a broad industry base.
