Having known Patrick for many years we have spoken regularly whether it be career advice, current market trends and even just a call to say hello. When I relocated interstate recently I did not hesitate to make Patrick my first and only call to a recruitment professional to find a new role.

Jacqui at Davies Ross placed me in an environment to further my career. Before, I was hesitant to engage with a third party to get a job, but the time and effort Jacqui put into me, getting to know me and understanding my goals is beyond explanation.
They assessed my situation, planned accordingly & got me an interview purely because of their reputation. Thank you, Jacqui and the team at Davies Ross, for everything you’ve done for me.
