Maurice at Blackbook was approachable and easy to chat to, which made me feel comfortable right from the start. He supported me throughout the entire process and was always easy to reach and communicate with. I really appreciate all of his guidance and support.
We recently engaged Maurice to assist with the hire of our new Operations Manager, and I can honestly say the experience exceeded all expectations. Maurice consistently went out of his way to support us, ensuring every detail was covered and that we achieved the perfect outcome.
His professionalism, commitment, and genuine care for getting the right result were evident throughout the entire process. Maurice was always available, provided valuable guidance, and made what could have been a stressful process smooth and enjoyable.
I can’t thank Maurice enough for all his efforts and dedication. His support has been instrumental in helping us secure a fantastic addition to our team, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking recruitment support.

I had the pleasure of working with Maurice in securing my current role. Maurice made the interview and employment process very comfortable through his open communication style and attention to detail. I would like to thank Maurice for his time and efforts because without him and his advice, I wouldn't have secured this exciting opportunity.
Highly recommended. Fantastic experience working with Paddy. He scrutinizes whether you are fit for the role, then prepares you, encourages you and keeps you informed. He is also a great guy and easy to work with.

What stood out most was how proactive and supportive he was, Matt went above and beyond to make sure I was set up for success.
Thanks to his effort and expertise, I’ve now landed a fantastic new role that’s a great fit for me. I’d highly recommend Matt and the Blackbook Executive team to anyone looking for their next career move or to businesses wanting a recruiter who truly understands both sides of the process.

I had the pleasure of working with Elisha Hunter of Blackbook Executive. Elisha was instrumental in matching my career requirements with the available opportunity. An astute professional with great attention to detail and would highly recommend for all recruitment needs for both job searchers and employers, including senior level (GM/head of or over) roles.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Elisha Hunter from Blackbook Executive Recruitment, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the initial contact, she demonstrated exceptional market knowledge and insight into the job landscape. She took the time to understand my skills and experience, and matched me with opportunities that fit my career goals. Throughout the recruitment process, Elisha was incredibly supportive, and guided me thru every step, keeping me updated on outcomes and ensuring everything went smoothly. Thanks to her dedication and professionalism, I secured a fantastic new role that I am loving. Highly recommend!"
Had a wonderful experience working with Hannah and Blackbook- she was engaged, proactive and great at her job! After a really difficult (and costly) experience with another recruiter for several staff I was apprehensive to even engage someone else. But Hannah was so easy to work with and the candidates she provided such high quality that she quickly gained out trust and we are very happy working with her. We'll be using Blackbook again for any staffing needs!
It was a great experience dealing with Emily. She is transparent, professional, and responds proactively. It’s my time working with a recruiter, but she makes the process very seamless. I’d recommend her!
I had the best experience working with Elisha from Blackbook! She made my job move to a new city feel so smooth and stress-free. Elisha really knows the industry inside out and took the time to understand what I was looking for.
She matched me with a role that fit perfectly and was always there to answer any questions I had along the way. Honestly, she’s been amazing throughout the whole process. Blackbook’s personalised approach really stands out—highly recommend!

My first experience with this agency, was worried initially that my business was too small for this well established agency, but they have accommodated my business needs every step of the recruitment process. The shortlist Vicki selected was also very high quality but appropriate for my needs at the same time as we were recruiting for a hybrid position. Vicki helped tick all of our boxes, it is such a relief to have the right talent I can depend on to help grow my business. Thanks to the team at Blackbook Executives!
Signed contracts for a new role this week, which I believe to be the perfect recruitment story by Josh K at Blackbook Exec. Content in my original position, I told Josh K to try again in 3 months time. Which he did - 3 months later exactly. Now open to exploring new roles Josh K shared the ins & outs of a unique opportunity that perfectly aligns with my character, skills & future aspirations. The opportunity has never felt more right, but it wouldn't have happened without Josh K's follow ups, instinctive understanding of people, service and reliability.
The introductory call I had with Paddy has restored my faith in humanity. Whereas other recruiters have been deeply transactional, Paddy took the time to understand the human side and it puts Blackbook Executive Recruitment streets ahead.
As an example, in a different call (not Blackbook), the recruiter asked me how I would rate myself between HW and SW - i.e. was I 50/50, or 80/20 or ??? I understand he was trying to work out if I was more of a HW person or a SW person, but it was the wrong question.
Paddy, by comparison, took the time to understand the breadth of skills and didn't assume that being proficient in one domain meant I was deficient in another.
Come the time I am successful in securing my next opportunity, I will definitely have Blackbook Executive in mind should I need to find excellent talent.

I had a very positive experience working with Jack Warren while looking for a process engineer position in Melbourne.
He was very professional, polite and extremely quick with the entire process. He communicated all updates with me regularly both via email and LinkedIn and was very responsive to feedback from me. He helped quell any lingering doubts that I had and allowed me to make a very well informed career choice. I was able to get the signed contract within 3 weeks of my first conversation with Jack.
I would highly recommend Blackbook Executive for the exceptional level of service they provide to candidates looking for the ideal job.

Black book guided me through every aspect during my recruitment process. Shehara Aponso from the industrial recruitment team is a real professional with very precise communication skills. Moreover, she is very supportive and reliable. I am really happy to have been a candidate with Blackbook Executive.
I have been looking for the right role for quite a few months and got approached by Josh Kehoe about a role.
Never been the biggest fan of recruiters at times. My normal dealings with any recruiter has been
- Constantly chasing them for information
- They never understand the role they are recruiting for
- Know the history about the company
- Most importantly don't listen to what you are wanting in a job and sell you a job you aren't wanting.
When dealing with Josh he has been the opposite to the above. He has always had my best intentions in play, knew everything about the role he was recruiting for, could contact him anytime and was very personable.
I highly recommend his services and would 100% go through him again.
