Delivery Director PEXA International Program

I recommend David as a recruiter, his ability to understand the client's needs, be able to package that need into an articulate role description and get it into the market is first-rate. We had a number of key roles to fill on the International program and David was instrumental in helping to fulfill the wave of demand as we scaled rapidly. He has a great ability to do outbound recruitment and using available tools was able to find great candidates externally when we had niche specialisations to fill - overall I would highly recommend David if you're looking for a recruiter who gets it done!

I am pleased to recommend David as both an interviewee and partner.

I first met David during an internal interview process when I was promoted to Staff Engineer for the International expansion program in December 2021. At the start of 2022, I had the pleasure of working closely with David as a talent recruitment partner.

Despite the challenges, David displayed exceptional dedication, applying a range of strategies to ensure we were able to attract well-rounded and highly qualified candidates for interviews.

National Learning & Development Manager at Peoplebank

David Brown is a consummate recruitment professional. If I were to be hiring senior executive managers for my own organisation I would want David on the job. It helps that he is a good guy with a great set of values. He can be trusted. From my perspective as well he has been willing to look deep inside himself to understand more about his natural talents and strengths and adjust his working style to align with those strengths. This kind of self awareness has set him up for a sustained period of high performance. David deserves it!
