I founded Hunter Search Global after more than 20 years in the global recruitment industry.

My career began in London as a Tech 360 Recruiter at SThree Group, where I had the privilege of working directly under the company’s founders. That early mentorship shaped both my approach to recruitment and my philosophy on leadership, ultimately leading me to become the #1 biller in the organization during my first year.

I later returned home to Australia and became a Partner in a growing recruitment firm, helping scale the business to more than 50 consultants across offices nationwide. During that time, I trained and mentored recruiters who went on to become million-dollar billers, reinforcing my belief that great systems, strong leadership, and fair incentives unlock exceptional performance.

After selling my share of the business, I launched Hunter as a consulting-led Rec2Rec firm designed to do more than simply place people. Hunter was built to partner with recruitment businesses to help them grow sustainably, develop internal talent, and build high-performing teams.

Five years ago, I brought Hunter’s Rec2Rec consulting model to the United States, working across multiple disciplines and connecting with some of the most talented recruiters in the market. As a former agency owner, I was often surprised by how many business models prioritized margin over people; despite the fact that strong profitability can absolutely exist without sacrificing fairness or integrity.

That experience solidified a core principle for me at Hunter: If a recruitment firm does not fairly reward its recruiters and headhunters, I will not represent them.

In 2024, I began building a new vision for what recruitment could look like. I wanted to create a platform that offered recruitment professionals a genuine alternative; a place where recruiters could access best-in-class technology, full operational support, and personal brand promotion, all while having a clear pathway to eventually launch their own firms if that aligned with their long-term goals.

Most importantly, I wanted to create a model that returned 75% of billings to the recruiters generating the value.

Today, Hunter Search Global is driven by a simple mission: to challenge the traditional recruitment model and build something better; one where recruiters and headhunters are rewarded fairly for the value they deliver to both clients and candidates, without compromise.
