After being in the game for 20+ years our Founder Kerri is awesome at what she does. Clients affirm that time and time again. She’s genuinely expert when it comes to sourcing talent. She’s super honest and has tackled being a business owner with style and integrity. Trust us; you’re in for nothing but an exceptional experience with her as our Ninja Master.
You might find this weird but Kerri totally gets a kick out of writing Job Ads (please don’t judge her; she’s more than cool in other ways!). It satisfies her creative flare and when you have personally SHORTLISTED over half a million resumes, you get very good (and speedy) at spotting the most suitable talent.
Really. You do!
With an addiction for efficiency, an obsession with systems and a thirst for industry knowledge, Kerri knows how to get results.
A client once described Kerri as a “crafty warrior who doesn’t stop until desired outcomes are achieved”. Yep, that’s why we call her the Ninja Master. She’s a total nerd in so many ways and stealth like with everything to do with sourcing you the right people.
What’s This Ninja Thing About?
Kerri always wanted to be a Ninja! She wanted to achieve great things but do it in stealth mode. She isn’t all that comfortable with networking events; in fact, she’s usually the tall lady lurking in the shadows too close to the bar!
Most of her life’s achievements have been a covert mission. Here are some of her successful missions that we know about;
- She played netball for Australia at the age of 19
- At 16 was awarded an AIS Netball Scholarship in Canberra, which saw her leave Perth for a few years (without mum and dad)!!
- Was named the best Goal Attack of all time for the Perth Orioles (now West Coast Fever)
- Was nominated twice for Sports Woman of the Year
- Went to University to study dirty, infected feet (Podiatry) butlanded in HR
- Started her own recruitment company at 26
Being in business for 12 years has taught Kerri those who outsource tasks that hinder their priority list (like shortlisting resumes) are always the ones that keep their business moving forward.
