Legal Secretary, Sydney

Melina Iuculano

I have known Melina for over 15 years as she has helped me in a number of organisations to find talent for marketing and sales roles. What I love about her work is that she will often add someone to the shortlist for a role who is a bit left of field. They may have a background, or a particular skill set that we may not have thought to consider in our initial briefing. Melina is consistent, reliable and transparent in all her dealings with her clients and candidates, which is why we keep coming back to her.

Neal Ford

The support I received from the team at Tanner Menzies and in particular Neal Ford were instrumental in helping secure a new job. Neal was open and communicative with me through every step of the interview process, checking in and offering helpful and mature guidance and insight. Tanner Menzies had me in a new job in an industry that excites me with a competitive salary within two weeks of our first meeting. I cannot recommend their services highly enough. If I’m in the position to be looking for another role in the future, Neal’s will be the first number I dial. Thank you Neal and the team at Tanner Menzies.

Meaghan Gleeson

I’ve been relying on Meaghan for over 10 years to find me our key admin and business support people, and have found her to be responsive, trustworthy, desirous to ‘match’ the firm with the right people and able to find the quality candidates. When she is on the case, I know I can trust that she is accurately screening people and not simply looking to just make a placement. From a client perspective, Meaghan’s move to Tanner Menzies has been a great one

Having partnered with Alison on a few tricky recruitment assignments; I have found her to have a unique ability to probe and genuinely understand the role. She approaches the recruitment assignment from a wholistic perspective and finds candidates that you wouldn’t always see as a natural fit however turn out to be perfect. Alison is persistent in her pursuit for the right candidate and has always delivered for me.
