My Story
Hi, I’m Daniel, and I’ve spent the last two decades immersed in the art and science of recruitment. For me, it’s never been about simply filling roles, it’s about building bridges between exceptional talent and the companies that need them. With a Bachelor of Management in Human Resources and Industrial Relations, I bring both technical know-how and a people-first approach to the table.
​
I specialize in recruiting for technical fields, with a deep focus on engineering across all disciplines, from entry-level talent to executive leadership. My passion for connecting the right people to the right opportunities has driven my career, and I thrive on the challenge of identifying those game-changing candidates that can make an immediate and lasting impact.

Over the years, I’ve led recruitment teams, driven innovative talent strategies, and cultivated relationships with clients and candidates built on trust and collaboration. I’m proud of the reputation I’ve earned as a mentor and advisor in the industry—someone who is as invested in long-term client success as I am in immediate results.
​
What sets me apart? I don’t just listen to what you need; I dive deep to understand your vision and goals. From there, I leverage my extensive network and strategic expertise to find the perfect match—someone who will align with your organization’s culture and aspirations.
