Andrew
"James and Mel are truly dedicated professionals who go the extra mile to ensure the satisfaction of their candidates. Definitely, the most pain free recruitment and payroll processing experience I have ever had in my IT contracting career. Highly recommend them as an agency and as people that really care and look after my needs. Thank you for all the support! You people are truly amazing!"
Rohan
"HBJ group approached me through LinkedIn regarding job opportunities. At our first meeting they fully explored what my ideal job would be. Within a week they found an excellent contract with a large agency that was a perfect cultural fit, with rewarding and innovative work. I wasn’t just a number to this company, and was fully supported through my contract by having regular coffee catch ups to see how I was progressing. They took the time to listen and were always available. I highly recommend working with HBJ Group!"
Louise
"James has successfully placed me in multiple permanent and contractor Business Analyst positions since I made the move to Canberra in late 2018. Unlike many other recruiters, he took the time to understand my career interests and offered sound advice in the type of roles that would suit me. I would highly recommend James!"
Sarah
"James and the team have been great to work with, looking after their contractors and responding promptly and professionally to any queries, and negotiations. Some of the highlights are the personal touches, from a welcome pack, to the Christmas lunch and regular opportunities to catch up. Have been happily represented by HBJ for almost 2 years, and looking forward to continued engagement through them."
Robbie
"I have worked with James for over 5 years, he is a fantastic agent who is proactive, attentive and always puts my needs and welfare first. He checks in regularly to ensure I am happy at my current work and is always ready to help with new opportunities if I am not. He is one of the rare breed of agents that actually cares and finds opportunities that are tailored to my skillset or individual needs. Both him and Mel (who handles my payroll) are fantastic people and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough."
