Unlike many, David did not fall into recruitment – he sought it out. He has spent the past eight years building strong relationships across Greater Western Sydney’s Qualified & Executive Finance market working within two National Boutique agencies. His career focus in Finance has seen him successfully complete over 400 assignment mandates, ranging from Finance Manager/ Finance Business Partner through to CFO. He is proud of his substantial network of over 7,500 connections on Linked In & that most placements in the past 24 months have been candidates referred directly to him from past employers or people he has previously placed earlier in his career. Whilst permanent recruitment is his focus his wide network has allowed him to place interim resources into senior roles, typically covering longer notice periods, specialist projects & critical reporting periods. At u&u David leads the Greater Western Sydney finance team delivering to a range of clients across the Commercial sector, with strong specialisation in Property, Heavy Industry, FMCG,. Manufacturing & For-Purpose organisations. He prides himself on being open, transparent & maintaining a “real” approach to recruitment – after all everyone deserves a level of respect that is often lost in the industry. Davids commitment to the finance world sees him sharing regular relevant market data, salary information & hosting quarterly “The Art of Job Searching” webinars designed to support active job seekers who are looking for advice on approaching the market. He also leads the “Western Sydney CFO Networking Breakfast” roundtables, connecting executives across the sector together to discuss challenges & opportunities facing them.
