A selection of recent engagements across supply chain, logistics, procurement, and executive leadership. All client identities are confidential — the depth of the work speaks for itself.
An exceptionally tight candidate market. The role required a rare blend of senior procurement expertise, board-level gravitas, and the ability to engage directly with local council authorities. Few candidates in the market carried the prerequisite skills at this level.
Built an extensive market map using every tool at our disposal — deep database mining, professional network leverage, LinkedIn Recruiter, and direct approaches. Left no stone unturned in what was a genuinely niche search.
Identified and secured the successful candidate within 5 weeks. The client described the result as delivered "to their absolute satisfaction" — a placement that matched both the technical demands and the stakeholder complexity of the role.
A complex international matrix structure with stakeholders spanning multiple geographies. The hiring process involved 13 separate interview stages to ensure alignment across both local leadership and global management — a marathon that required exceptional candidate management throughout.
Mapped the senior supply chain leadership market across ANZ healthcare and adjacent industries. Managed candidates through the extended 12-week process with regular briefings, stakeholder alignment, and proactive counter-offer mitigation to keep top talent engaged.
Secured the best candidate despite the gruelling process. Following placement, we were retained to rebuild the wider supply chain leadership team — a direct testament to the quality and trust built during the initial engagement.
A challenging executive search with a very limited pool of local candidates who possessed the prerequisite skills. The role demanded deep experience in sourcing from China specifically, combined with the leadership capability to run supply chain at a group level.
Developed a detailed market map targeting candidates with strong international sourcing experience — particularly China. Leveraged the full tech stack: internal database, LinkedIn Recruiter, and Seek Talent Database. Delivered a 5-person shortlist within 6 weeks.
Successful candidate was secured just 2 weeks after shortlist delivery — an 8-week total process for a role that most agencies would have struggled to fill at all given the niche requirements and Brisbane location.
A greenfield role in a fast-growing organisation. The supply chain function needed to be built from a very low benchmark — manual processes, no established systems, and no existing team. The hire needed to be a builder, not just an operator.
Focused the search specifically on candidates who combined hands-on process-building experience with a clear vision of what best-in-class supply chains look like. Targeted leaders who had built functions before — not just managed existing ones.
Delivered the successful candidate in 7 weeks. A transformational hire who brought both the strategic vision to design the supply chain architecture and the operational grit to implement it from the ground up.
A hybrid role requiring an unusual blend of executive operational leadership and account management experience within a major public sector client environment. The market map revealed a very narrow selection of candidates with the prerequisite experience.
Conducted an extensive market mapping exercise that confirmed the scarcity of qualified candidates. Broadened the search to include adjacent sectors where transferable leadership and client management skills existed, while maintaining the non-negotiable healthcare logistics expertise.
Delivered the successful candidate through an 8-week search process. A placement that combined deep 3PL operational knowledge with the relationship management skills needed to service a demanding public sector account.
Every search is confidential, tailored, and led personally by Jon-Paul.
