Over the past four years I have partnered with Quinn Allan to support the growth of our organisation. There have been a number of new finance and commercial vacancies that we needed to recruit. They have really taken the time to understand the Salta Properties business, our values, and our culture. Quinn Allan has a strong network and has presented some top-quality candidates into our company. Their team has a friendly and personable style which makes them enjoyable to work with.

Rachel Morton has played a key role in helping build out our 'A-team' in finance. Rachel understands our business and the change journey we're on and always sources candidates with the right values and commitment to their work and career. Rachel always takes the extra step needed through the recruitment process and is always in search of the best outcome, not the quick close. A quality that is highly valued.
