Testimonials

We love working with our clients and candidates, but more importantly, they love working with us! Take a look at the kind words they had for us and their recruiting experience.

Shane is a rare breed in recruitment, he is exceptionally trustworthy and honest and will always value the opinion of those around him. With such an engaging style, a dynamic yet simple approach, and a communication style that is delightfully open and honest, Shane can’t help but draw the best out of you. Shane is a man of his word, you know exactly where you stand, he is - your all-around good guy!’

Shane approached me for a role that he knew was going to be a great fit and made the process simple, transparent and honest. His relaxed approach suited me perfectly and needless to say I was on my way to a new organisation. Having taken on the new position, I continue to work with Shane to secure new talent for my team and will continue this relationship based on his performance to date. Thanks Shane.

Shane is a top notch recruiter. Unlike many in this industry, Shane has a deep understanding of position requirements and is able to source talent that add exceptional value above and beyond the scope of the role while seamlessly managing all communications and hiring requirements with great efficiency. Shane has been a pleasure to work with personally and colleagues in the advertising industry all speak of him in high regard. Given the opportunity I would gladly take advantage of Shane’s services again.

Working with digital recruiters is often one of life’s necessary evils. Not the case with Shane... he’s smart, genuinely knows the industry, and is able to read between the lines and see potential and experience where others may not. Would highly recommend.

Shane was wonderful to work with, he was upfront, honest, professional and one of the best recruiters I have worked with. I couldn't recommend Shane & ARC enough to any employers looking to use a recruitment agency or any candidates looking for their dream role!

My experience working with Shane has been perfection. He has been nothing but friendly, professional, responsive, honest and very knowledgable. He has consistently provided me with fantastic job opportunities well matched to my skill set and I would absolutely recommend working with him.

I have worked with Shane and ARC for a few years now, both as a source for freelance design resources and for my own career development. Shane has excellent communication skills and an impressive knowledge of the creative industry, particularly the current digital landscape and its future evolution/requirements. I sincerely recommend Shane and ARC to any agency or company large and small looking for reliability, flexibility and value from their recruitment partners.

Shane is the most un-recruitery recruiter around. He's diligent and attentive when you need him to be but never pushy. I always felt as though he had my interests at heart and wasn't just eager to fill a brief. A rare breed! Five stars.

I have been on both sides of the fence, as someone looking for work and as someone hiring and I can't praise Shane enough. He is an extremely good judge of talent and contrary to the usual experience you would have with recruitment agencies he will always focus on quality and on finding the right fit for both parties. Definitely the best out there. 5 stars.

Shane is a seasoned connector and puzzle solver. He knows people, he understands what they do and he knows where they fit. Shane's extensive network and transparent approach to recruitment makes him a trusted partner to both candidates and organisations. Shane is anything but another recruiter. I'd call him a matchmaker.

Shane has consistently delivered high class candidates for employment opportunities over many years. I find his approach to recruitment refreshing in that he takes a more human view to helping both the business and the individual. He is always available and responds in a timely manner. I continue to use Shane as a starting point when seeking market leading candidates.

Shane was first recommended to me when I was working for TBWA . From our first dealings I found Shane to be a man of intelligence and integrity. He completely understands how the digital market works in Australia and usually knows what you need before you do yourself. This weird psychic ability might engender a sense of unease if not for the fact that Shane is a genuinely nice guy. I hope our paths cross again. If you need a good recruiter or just want a good chat with someone who has checked their ego at the door, then I'd urge you to drop him a line.

Shane is the best recruiter I've come across. He's been a gun for me when I've been a potential employee and an employer.

Shane has a great understanding of the marketplace and always managed to find great recruits for us who were a perfect cultural fit.

Great guy, excellent recruiter and one of the main reasons we've continued to use his agency since coming to Melbourne. Fully recommend!

I first used Shane's services while working at Ogilvy. He was always a pleasure to work with. Shane's personable but very professional attitude towards achieving the desired outcome for our company resulted in many great hires, both temporary and full time. I highly recommend Shane and would not hesitate to use him again should I be in a position to hire staff in the digital domain. 

Mary is one of those true finds in the recruitment world. With the risk of her falling into the all-too-familiar category of recruitment consultants more interested in their own placement commission than their client’s immediate and long term future, she breaks the mould. Dedicated, determined and genuine, Mary’s that ace you hold onto as you lay your hand down on the table.

Mary is persistent, warm and genuine - three characteristics that are rarely found in recruiters, but exactly what you need to trust they have your best interests in mind and not just the commission.

Mary was very helpful and efficient in sourcing our roles and a pleasure to deal with.
