What Our Clients Say

I’ve worked with Mitch for many years, and he’s been my go-to partner for senior leadership recruitment across our agencies. He combines authenticity, transparency and deep industry insight in a way few others do.

Mitch tells me what I need to know, not what I want to hear, and that honesty is invaluable. He brings unparalleled market intelligence, a genuine care for people, and an outcomes-driven approach that consistently delivers exceptional talent who help shape and grow our business.

Simply put, Mitch is an extension of my team; trusted, insightful, and always delivers.

— Aimee Buchanan, CEO WPP Media

I’ve partnered with Mitch for close to two decades, and throughout that time he’s been my trusted go-to for senior and executive hires across the business. From the early days of FiftyFive5 through to our integration with Accenture Song, Mitch has played a pivotal role in helping shape our leadership team and, in turn, our growth.

His ability to immerse himself in the DNA of a business means he truly understands what drives success and as a result, he finds talent who help shape and grow it.

Mitch consistently delivers on the ‘impossible’ briefs. He combines global reach, deep market insight, and absolute commitment to outcomes. He’s more than a recruiter; he’s a trusted advisor and an extension of our business.

— Mark Sundquist, Managing Director, ANZ Customer Growth Strategy, Accenture Song and Partner FiftyFive5

What Our Candidates Say

Working with Mitch was excellent. He has amazing communication skills and always responded to me pre and post interview in rapid time. He really understands the industry but more importantly the needs of his client that he is working for. He successfully identified my skills and experience as a perfect match for a role that I'd previously turned down. I thoroughly enjoyed the candidate experience and will certainly be using Mitch in my new role as required.

— Sarah James, Chief Investment Officer at EssenceMediacom Australia
