Client Testimonials

Michael West - Managing Director |Head of Communications | Deutsche Bank | Asia Pacific Region

“Salt & Shein have delivered sage advice, excellent candidates and solutions to me for over 10 years."

Sean Muller - Marketing Communications Specialist |AMP | Australia

" I would like to thank Lucy Newcomb and Fraser Clapcott for their help and support in securing me a new role following a redundancy period and in a particularly trying job market. From the time that I met with Lucy and Fraser they both immediately impressed me with their knowledge of the market and my skillset (something distinctly lacking in other recruiters I was dealing with). While other recruiters spent our time telling me about how bad the market was and that I would have to be prepared to 'wait it out', Lucy and Fraser were tabling options for me and offering to pitch me to their client base. They were also both sympathetic to my situation and worked proactively to land me an interview (the position which I ended up securing). I am thankful to them and can only recommend their professional and personal approach most highly. "

John Weiss - Global CEO |Trans-Tasman Business Circle

"The Trans-Tasman Business Circle has worked closely with Salt & Shein over many years. I have known both Peter and Josh professionally for considerably longer. The company is most professional in all its dealings and we are pleased to have worked with it through our C-level access events. As a result of my high regard for the firm, the Circle contracted with it to source a full-time GM position in our office. The brief was a challenging one - involving a rare combination of sales ability, policy development experience, business-building capability and a personality with a fit to our culture. The results of that search process were excellent and I am delighted with the result - the work of Salt and Shein was creative, quick, thorough and at the highest standard. i would certainly use the firm again."

Brent J Sincock - Regional Director |Human Resources | Australia / New Zealand

"Baxter Healthcare has worked with Salt & Shein to successfully fill two critical positions for the ANZ business – Corporate Communications and Government Affairs. Their approach is thoroughly professional and tailored to meeting our business expectations, ensuring that we had a successful outcome on both occasions."

Paul Dale - Manager | Corporate Affairs and Government Relations | Eli Lilly Australia

"I have worked with Salt & Shein on a number of staff appointments over a two year period. I have always found them to be diligent, professional and responsive in working on recruiting to my team. I particularly value their ability to understand a candidate, including his/her strengths and weaknesses and how he/she comes across, which means I am reviewing quality candidates when it comes to my own interviews."

Guy McKanna - Head of Investment Marketing Services | Asia Pacific | Fidelity International

"Salt & Shein is very well connected in the industry and always provides great potential candidates for review. By engaging them, and their understanding, I know I've seen the best available candidates at any time."

Gabrielle Trainor | Partner | John Connolly & Partners

“I have found the principals of Salt & Shein capable, responsive and reliable in fulfilling a search and selection process. In my dealings with them, they have demonstrated a good understanding of the industry, a breadth of networks across sectors and they give straightforward, realistic advice. There is no ambiguity about who the client is.”

Greg Flynn | Divisional Director | Corporate Affairs | Channel Financial Communication

“Peter Salt and Josh Shein have well-earned reputations for being thorough professionals who not only know all the key corporate affairs and communication players but, equally importantly, also understand the sector.

Peter and Josh have proved that their boutique business strategy is a winner.

Great networkers with sound judgment and a good grasp of just what a corporation needs, both men have forged what is undoubtedly one of Australia’s leading specialist recruitment firms.”

Christopher Savage | Founding Partner | Savage & Partners

“Specialised. Insightful. Influential. Passionate. Authentic. Relationships. These are some of the key words I use to describe Salt & Shein. Oh yes- and… DELIVER. There is no other firm in this market as specialised and deep in the corporate affairs and communication field.”

Simon Covill ABC MPRIA | Head of Internal Communication | Corporate Relations | St.George Bank Ltd
President | International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) | NSW Chapter

“I have had a relationship with Salt & Shein since their inception and my relationship goes back further than that. In a very competitive industry I believe they set the benchmark for excellence. I find their understanding of corporate communication and public affairs plus their personal attention to candidates to be second to none. They take an interest in your career not just the role at hand. Importantly, they also take the time to thoroughly understand their clients and the roles.”

Ross Thornton | Director | FD Third Person

“Salt & Shein are a key and very trusted partner for our business. As an intellectual property business, the key enabler of our success is having the best and brightest people in our team. Salt & Shein have really helped us grow FD Third Person over the past five years by bringing us the best and brightest in the market. They have taken the time to understand our business, so they know exactly which sort of candidate we’re looking for. We trust their judgement, and seek their advice. My only hesitation in providing this testimonial is that we don’t want our competitors using Salt & Shein and benefitting from their skills!”

Geoff Fowlstone | Principal | Fowlstone Communications
