Melanie Duncan, Recruitment Specialist
Insurance Australia Group (IAG)

I was recently referred to The Hunt Recruitment by an industry contact and met with Andrew Crommelin to explain my requirements for a Commercial Sales Consultant with estimating and pricing experience. These people can be hard to find and don’t stay on the market long, so consequently we had several who took other roles during the process. Andrew remained committed to the task and ultimately produced a very experienced and impressive candidate who had recently arrived in the country from overseas. We were very happy with the outcome and our interactions with The Hunt Recruitment.

This role was a crucial one for us as we required someone dynamic, intelligent and ambitious to complement our small team. The Hunt Recruitment took the time to gain a clear understanding of our requirements and quickly produced a high-quality shortlist from which we hired an exceptional new team member. Throughout the process we were kept well informed and were given excellent service.
