More About Mode
What's it like working with Mode?
If I could give one tip to someone trying to break into the IT industry, it would be: ring Craig. Forget all the horror stories about recruiters churning through names and resumes. In the proper sense of the word, a recruiter is a knowledgeable, trusted broker, a recruiter is someone who has relationships with businesses and with talent, and can hook you up. Craig is a recruiter. I was new to the IT industry. Craig took the time to get to know me, he took...
Patrick Conheady, Tax, DevOps, automation
Craig and team are awesome and have always help us source really really great talent. How is he different? He actually gives a crap… not just about our company(ies) but about ensuring the candidate is going to enjoy the play they work. I guess it’s not hard when the place is Servian, but still… he does us proud. Thanks Craig....
Peter Gatt, Partner at Servian
Craig has assisted us with recruiting for many different roles and has been a great asset to our team. He has been enthusiast, great to work with and has been able to connect us with the right people. I would highly recommend Craig to anyone who needs an experienced technology recruitment specialist....
Phillip Souter, Filling the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) role at Bendigo and Adelaide Bank
I first met Craig through an introduction at an Infracoders meetup in Melbourne years ago, he stood out from the crowd of recruiters easily; a genuine and friendly person, really there to build relationships. Since then I have worked with Craig multiple times across different businesses, knowing that when I’m stuck Craig will always come through. He’s filled more than a dozen roles for me over the past 3 years, with quality candidates who are good technical fits, good cultural fits and also just generally...
Mulvina (Molly) Rowe, We’re Hiring! – Head of People and Culture at RecordPoint
I’ve been contracting for 17 years now through various IT recruitment companies and I can honestly say that the past 2.5 years working through Craig at Red Resources has been far the best experience out of the lot. Craig’s work ethic, professionalism and general friendly nature has been fantastic right from day one. He was supportive from the initial conversations right through my contract end date, making it a pleasure to work with Craig...
Zayne Ismail, Senior Infrastructure Engineer
I’ve worked with dozens of recruiters throughout my career but I have never had an experience like working with Craig. When I found out I needed to move from Brisbane to Melbourne with about a months notice, an ad on seek caught my attention so much I immediately picked up the phone. After a chat I sent through my resume and I moved on with my job search. Craig read my resume, called me right back and let me know of another position that he...
Kim Shepherd, Senior Consultant at Servian
Craig is a delight to work with. He is extremely professional and efficient and manages to do all this with a smile and a dose of humour. Craig is a genuine guy who factors in the best interests of both employer and candidate when he is looking for the right fit for a role. He is one of the best recruiters I’ve had the pleasure to deal with....
David Tymon, Senior Software Engineer at Snobal
I’ve worked with Craig from both sides of the recruitment table, as a hiring manager and an applicant. In both scenarios, Craig went above and beyond what I could have expected from a recruiter. Craig takes the time to get to know his potential candidates and clients, he was on the phone to me often checking in during the process (even when there was no good news to report) and was candid and honest. It helps that Craig knows what he doesn’t know, and could...
Rob Kenefeck, Senior Consultant at Servian
I have had the good fortune of being placed twice by Craig, and I can honestly say he is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. His down to earth nature and witty sense of humour set him apart from the majority of people in the recruitment industry. Craig has also shown time and time again that he cares about the people he places, working hard to ensure their transition is as smooth as possible....
Dean, Senior Engineer, Global Software Company.
I have been contracting for 17 years now through various IT recruitment companies and I can honestly say that the past 2.5 years working through Craig Colvin at Red Resources has been by far the best experience out of the lot. Craig’s work ethic, professionalism and general friendly nature has been fantastic right from day one. He was supportive from the initial conversations right through my contract end date, making it a pleasure to work with Craig....
Zayne, Senior Infrastructure Engineer
I met with Craig only a few months after I arrived in Melbourne, and I straight-away knew that he was not any random recruiter you can find out there. First and foremost because he does not recruit in anything: he mainly specialises in network / security / cloud / systems which has allowed him to really know the industry and its key people. Consequently, he also knows what skills to look for, go beyond a resume, a list of certifications or a check-list given by...
Pierre, Network Consultant
I have had the pleasure of working with Craig Colvin on several assignments over the past 8-10 years. Craig has unmatched experience in the IT industry and is genuinely committed to providing the best talent to the right employer. In addition to Craig’s positivity and professionalism, he keeps his contractors abreast of industry and technology trends, giving us the insight needed to gain the edge in interviews and to help us perform at our best in each engagement. Working with Craig it is clearly apparent...
