Over the years, SD have consistently provided candidates of excellent calibre for various HR and talent roles. As trusted partners, they take the time to truly understand your needs, values, and leadership style. Their industry insights, data, and extensive talent network are invaluable. They are trusted partners and I’ve been able to build high performing teams with their candidates. As a Hiring Manager, I’ve always valued their honest and transparent feedback, and their ability to challenge my thinking, helping me approach recruitment from fresh perspectives to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Anthony Blaney
Executive, People Learning & Culture
After posting an ad ourselves without much success, I knew that when we needed support, the SD team were the people to call. Our recruiter, Izzy, was an absolute superstar on this brief. It’s a tricky space, but she pulled out all the stops to find the perfect candidate for us. Her communication was sensational and I couldn’t have asked for a better recruiter. Samuels Donegan did an incredible job representing me as a leader, our Workplace Relations team and RMH as a brand, while also giving candidates the experience they deserve. They’ve built something truly special for the HR community in Melbourne.
Brad Dodemond
Workplace Relations Team Lead
Right from the first call, Samuels Donegan worked really hard to understand our organisation, the team, the role and the key skills and experience that would work well for us. They asked fantastic questions and were clear in how the process would ideally work and what they needed from me. We ended up hiring not one but TWO of the candidates and could easily have hired the third too. I absolutely will be working with the Samuels Donegan team again - so professional, so helpful and have epic talent on their books.

I’ve followed Sarah throughout the last 20 years of my HR career both as a hiring manager and a candidate and she, along with the team, has always been spot on when it comes to how the market is performing. What stands out most as a customer is the great service you receive: they're highly responsive and understand our needs from the get-go. They know how to find the 'needle in the haystack' filling specialist roles with highly sought-after candidates. I highly recommend working with SD. Whether you're a business or growing your HR career, it's a smart investment.

I’ve followed Sarah throughout the last 20 years of my HR career both as a hiring manager and a candidate and she, along with the team, has always been spot on when it comes to how the market is performing. What stands out most as a customer is the great service you receive: they're highly responsive and understand our needs from the get-go. They know how to find the 'needle in the haystack' filling specialist roles with highly sought-after candidates. I highly recommend working with SD. Whether you're a business or growing your HR career, it's a smart investment.

Over the years, SD have consistently provided candidates of excellent calibre for various HR and talent roles. As trusted partners, they take the time to truly understand your needs, values, and leadership style. Their industry insights, data, and extensive talent network are invaluable. They are trusted partners and I’ve been able to build high performing teams with their candidates. As a Hiring Manager, I’ve always valued their honest and transparent feedback, and their ability to challenge my thinking, helping me approach recruitment from fresh perspectives to achieve the best possible outcomes.

After posting an ad ourselves without much success, I knew that when we needed support, the SD team were the people to call. Our recruiter, Izzy, was an absolute superstar on this brief. It’s a tricky space, but she pulled out all the stops to find the perfect candidate for us. Her communication was sensational and I couldn’t have asked for a better recruiter. Samuels Donegan did an incredible job representing me as a leader, our Workplace Relations team and RMH as a brand, while also giving candidates the experience they deserve. They’ve built something truly special for the HR community in Melbourne.
Brad Dodemond
Workplace Relations Team Lead
Right from the first call, Samuels Donegan worked really hard to understand our organisation, the team, the role and the key skills and experience that would work well for us. They asked fantastic questions and were clear in how the process would ideally work and what they needed from me. We ended up hiring not one but TWO of the candidates and could easily have hired the third too. I absolutely will be working with the Samuels Donegan team again - so professional, so helpful and have epic talent on their books.
