What Our Clients are Saying
General Manager
The consultant was very personable and put me at ease very quickly during our call. He was great at teasing out the important aspects of my resume and helping me think about my experience in a different way. I felt that he was interested in me and my career objectives, rather than trying to pigeon hole me to fill a role.
Head of Commercial
My experience with Pacific Talent Partners was overall positive and supportive, enabling a high level of engagement and extremely professional.
Head of Digital Sales
Having met scores of recruiters over the years, I was expecting a similarly average service but the practice lead I was assigned with took the time to ask lots of questions and listen to what my career growth goals were.
Associate Director
I found James’ approach refreshing and engaging. I believe this would translate into good outcomes.
Transformation Executive
The practice lead I was allocated with was extremely professional and responsive after reviewing my CV for a specific role. He followed up promptly and then arranged a time to meet despite me not being suitable for the specific role I applied for. We had an engaging discussion which was greatly appreciated.
General Manager
I received a response quickly to my initial reach out. I was lucky to be interviewed for initial discussion by a quality consultant who was well prepared and conducted a well managed interview.
Chief Operating Officer
During this job search I’m finding it very rare for consultants to take the time to even pick up the phone to talk to candidates that have applied for advertised roles. Elliot took the time to set up a meeting and understand my background and also what I’m looking for in my next role. My experience to date is that this is very rare amongst consultants currently.
Head of Finance
Responsive and considered, interested in candidates perspective.
General Manager Strategy
Great practical and candid conversation with Elliot.
Head of Financial Planning
Elliot was honest, engaged and helpful – did not just listen or ask questions, but provided helpful suggestions and comments. Was honest and upfront about the market, my own CV and prospects.

The conversation with Elliot was informative and engaging. He showed a strong understanding of the market and how we may approach my next role, without promising the earth.

The senior manager’s candidate care has been outstanding. From the original call, to meeting in person and truly taking the time to understand me.

Its been an absolute pleasure working with him.
Managing Director
The senior manager shows a genuine interest in understanding the candidate, and is more than willing to explore, discuss and offer value based on his own experience and insight.

This creates stronger and more transparent relationships that give clients and candidates more confidence in their progress and ultimately achieving the best outcome.
