Success stories

Alex Cooper was highly instrumental in assisting with the sourcing of a new job within the NDIS sector. Alex was a terrific communicator and overall – a pleasure to deal with. Thank-you Alex!

Lachlan, Candidate

Thank you so much for your support, just “getting” what we do and for truly believing in our vision and finding the right people to deliver that. It has been an incredible journey over the last couple of months, meeting some amazingly inspiring candidates to recruit such talented candidates into our team!

Head of Donor Relations, Health Foundation, Client

Overall I found the process to be easier than I expected. It was wonderful to have your support, Manelle, on rewriting the position description and your knowledge and experience were invaluable.
Your candidate summaries were comprehensive and assisted me to make an informed decision about whether or not to interview each person. The benefit here was that I didn’t feel I wasted anytime interviewing people who were potentially not suitable for the role. I found you to be proactive and very responsive to all communications, very professional, and you have a lovely manner that made me feel very comfortable and confident that you were working with me to get the best person for the role. 

CEO, Counselling Organisation, Client

Alex Cooper did an amazing job assisting us in finding and recruiting a senior manager – a critical role for this business. The process was steered seemlessly to a fantastic result. Alex exceeded my expectations. With many thanks!

Michael, Disability Housing, Client

Mel has been such an amazing support to me over the last 3 months since being made redundant. Her caring, compassionate and positive attitude has done more for my confidence and ability to find work than any other support I have received. Helping me to prepare for job interviews, discussing roles and overall being an amazing human who cares deeply that her clients find the right roles for them and going above and beyond what I have received from recruitment personnel in the past. She is an absolute asset to the industry and I hope to work with her in the future, to find staff for my future organisations. Keep being amazing and doing the work you do!

All prospective employers and employees will enormously benefit from this empathetic and wise soul… Alex has an uncanny ability to understand the strengths and skills of individuals and align that with prospective employers to fulfill their exact needs. He is one exemplary individual with a genuinely in-built compassionate and care model that personifies peak performance and great depths of professionalism rarely seen in the industry. I was very lucky to have crossed paths with Alex and Johnson Recruitment.
