I highly recommend Blackbook
Consultancy to anyone looking for employment opportunities in Australia. They helped me secure my very first job, and I truly appreciate all the support they provided throughout the process.
A special thank you to Luke, who was exceptional from start to finish. He was always available to answer my questions, guide me through every step, and make sure everything went smoothly. What impressed me the most was that he even called me on my very first day at work to check how I was doing and whether everything was going well. That level of care and professionalism is rare to find.
Luke's support gave me confidence during a big transition into a new country and a new job. Thank you, Luke, and the entire Blackwood Consultancy team, for helping me start my career in Australia. I genuinely appreciate everything you've done and would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a reliable recruitment consultancy.

When Eimear first contacted me about the role, she was very understanding of my situation, as my dad was in hospital, and she was incredibly accommodating.
The hiring process for the position was put on hold for a period of time. When recruitment resumed and I was contacted again, Eimear worked around my schedule and kept me informed every step of the way. She provided valuable interview preparation tips and ensured I understood each stage of the hiring process.
Eimear also met me for coffee and took the time to get to know me, asking questions not only about my suitability for the role but also about me as a person.
I would highly recommend Eimear to any job seeker or employer looking for a recruiter who genuinely cares about helping candidates find the right opportunity and employers find the right talent.

My experience with Maurice from Blackwood has been excellent! From the very beginning, his approach was friendly, transparent, and respectful. He supported me throughout the entire hiring and interview process, always explaining all the work conditions clearly and making sure everything aligned with what I was looking for.
Maurice was very flexible and understanding, always trying to find the best times and solutions, and he did an amazing job bridging the communication between me and the employer in a very smooth and professional way. You can really tell he cares about candidates and wants the experience to be positive for everyone involved.
I highly recommend Maurice and Blackwood. Thanks a lot!!

Working with Paddy has been an outstanding experience. He’s proactive, transparent, and genuinely cares about finding the right fit for both candidate and employer. It’s rare to come across a recruiter who combines professionalism with a personal touch like he does.
He went above and beyond to secure a fair offer and guide me through every step. I’d highly recommend Paddy to any professional looking for their next role — or any company seeking a recruiter who truly delivers.

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 Matt Neave from Blackbook Executive, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first conversation, Matt was professional, approachable, and genuinely interested in understanding both my career goals and what I was looking for in my next role.
He kept me informed at every stage of the process, provided clear guidance to prepare me for interviews, and gave valuable insights about the company and role that helped me feel confident throughout. 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.

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!

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.

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.
