About

David Mclaren, a consultant with our Senior Finance Recruitment team in Brisbane. Born and bred in the UK, with multi-cultural parentage including an English mother, Irish father, Scottish wife and now so called Aussie daughters, I have worked in recruitment for over 20 years. I have specialised during this time in the qualified accounting and finance market, my wife being a qualified Accountant. This is now my 6th year in Brisbane and I can safely say we have acclimatised to the Aussie culture, as well as weather.

David made himself available to meet with me to discuss opportunities in the market and provide constructive feedback on how to position myself for future opportunities. He has an in-depth understanding of the market and his insights were very valuable.

David has excellent market knowledge and he also helped me to analyse my current situation and provide some valuable recommendations. He's trustworthy and reliable. I haven't been placed as yet but he appeared to be very professional in placing candidates and keeping confidentiality.

1. I liked that David asked the questions, which was demonstrating that he was trying to understand what I'm looking for in my next role 2. I appreciated, that he briefed me about the current situation in the market, which is necessary for the candidate to understand from the people in the industry Thank you

I met with David yesterday and had a really positive meeting. Although there was no schedule time limit, we chatted for 1 hour 15 mins, so he really took the time to get an understanding of my background and experience. He provided some good advice on my CV and seemed to have solid knowledge of the current market. Please note that I only put the 'Hiring Effectiveness' rating mid range as we have only just met and yet to be put forward to any candidates so I have no history of this. Would recommend to others.
