Testimonials

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 good people.

He inherently understands mine and my business’ needs, delivers on time and on budget and is genuinely a pleasure to work with.

Craig and the whole Mode Talent team make doing business a pleasure, and I cannot recommend working with them enough.

Whether you’re a candidate or a business that needs recruitment help, Craig makes sure that everyone is happy with every deal by making good matches based on skills and culture, not just his bottom line.

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.

Danielle is easy to talk to, understands what’s important in your career and finds the right fit/ opportunity. Was a great experience dealing with Danielle

The experience from start to finish was handled in a very professional and friendly manner. Due to this style, the interview process was very smooth and it enabled me to express my true self. I would recommend Danielle’s style and approach 100%, at no stage did I feel I was out of my depth or didn’t have enough information

Danielle is the consummate professional, her knowledge and experience was invaluable in guiding me through a very rigorous interview process which ultimately resulted in success for me securing the role

We’ve been working with Danielle to source great resources in a tense market, specifically around technology consulting. Danielle knows this market well, and as such, provides a spectrum of candidate options based on our specific placement requirements. That aside, what has been the standout is how communicative, accessible, and casual (e.g. simple) to work with from a business/recruitment partnership perspective.

I had the pleasure of working with Josh when he reached out to me about an opportunity. From the outset, Josh demonstrated a high level of professionalism, responsiveness, and an understanding of my skills and career goals. He was a fantastic guide through the recruitment process, keeping me informed at every stage, addressing my questions, and providing valuable insights on how to best present my experience.

What stood out most was Josh’s dedication to ensuring my success. He went above and beyond, working after hours and on weekends to help expedite the process and keep things moving forward. His commitment and proactive approach were key in making the process smooth and efficient, and I am grateful for his support. I highly recommend Josh to anyone seeking a recruiter who genuinely invests in his client’s success.

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 me out to coffee, he gave me tips about how to break into the industry. These are your strengths, these are your weaknesses. He showed me which meetups to go to, which online courses to take, and he introduced me to industry contacts. He worked with me to present my little bit of relevant experience in a way employers would respond to. And he got me an interview at a consulting firm where I never thought I would have had a shot. The rest is history: I love this job and I just got promoted too. Craig got me that start. Thankyou Craig.

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.

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 Mode Talent 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

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 thought would be a good fit. He set up two interviews before I’d even properly started on my job hunt. The first would have been a good fit, but the job he recommended with Vibrato (now Servian) is by far the best of my career. You can look through his other recommendations and see that my experience is no exception, I work with a first class team who love what we are doing and he connected many of us.

Craig still keeps in touch and though we’ve only had the chance to meet in person a handful of times, it’s like chatting to an old mate. If you are thinking of exploring new career opportunities: give Craig a call. If you need some first class talent: give Craig a call. If you need talent but don’t work with recruiters, just have a quick chat, there is more than one who makes an exception for Craig.

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.
