-
We’ve partnered with SDE since 2014. The team help us identify, attract and secure top sales leadership. Our collaboration includes talent mapping and recruitment roadmap; this proactive talent acquisition gave Cleanaway a strong pipeline of transformational salespeople. SDE focus on outcomes, their innovative approach and cutting-edge capability is part of our turnaround story which saw Cleanaway win “Turnaround Company of the Year” in 2016.
- Chris Hutchins - Cleanaway

We recently partnered with Six Degrees on the recruitment of a key executive role. The assignment was challenging as we required a very quick turnaround and the best talent in the market. David Braham – Managing Director Executive Search was an absolute professional and ensured we had a first class shortlist of candidates We would highly recommend Six Degrees as an Executive Search partner.
- Damian Tarry - Head of HR - Retail Food Group
-
Six Degrees are exceptionally professional and diligent. I was kept up to date with every aspect of the recruitment process; even when things went a little quiet. I was worried about finding a new job but David ensured that it was as pain free as possible! Thank you Six Degrees! I will certainly be recommending you to any of my colleagues who are seeking a new role.
- Emma Addison
-
Adam Kurdas was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the Melbourne employment landscape to me given I had been overseas for the last seven years. The standout, however, has been the regular weekly follow up on companies that Adam has met and seen an opportunity for me based on my background and understanding he has of his client base. I have feel confident that Adam is working on my behalf.
- Ben Marshall
-
Sarah Adamson has been thoroughly helpful every step of the process so far. She has contacted me and gave feedback in an extremely timely manner. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge of the company, as well as the information she provided prior to my interview. I have used recruitment agencies for many years in the U.K., but I haven't come across such excellent and diligent service before.
- Julia Whitwam
-
It was the best experience I have had with a recruitment agency. Ben Maurer really cares, and his conduct is very professional. He has informed me every step of the way and even assisted with a lot of info on interviewing techniques.
- Wilfred Krog
-
Natalie went over and above at every opportunity - from the initial meeting where she gave me extremely insightful feedback on my CV and application, right through to advice on interview preparation and speedy and thorough feedback straight afterwards. Throughout, her handling of the whole process was exemplary.
- Becky Slater
-
Ivor Lloyd-Rees is highly proficient in the core markets Six Degrees specialise in, meaning he is fully competent in both talent management and industry trends. Ivor has great foresight into the current landscape but given his knowledge of the market is also able to predict future needs to both clients and the talent he works with.
- Andrew Georgiou
-
First impressions last. I felt very comfortable with Macey Carino. She not only outlined the steps along the way, but followed through with calls and updates regularly. I was very impressed with Six Degrees, as many recruiters over promise and under deliver.
- Adam Arnold
-
My experience working with Luke Gunn was exceptional. From initial contact he consistently supported me in my applications until he successfully placed me into a role at Telstra. Luke's communication skills are excellent, and he truly cares for his candidates. He went above and beyond to ensure I was prepared for interviews and provided an approachable but professional service. Six Degrees is set apart from other recruitment agencies I have dealt with in the past. I'm extremely pleased and respect their process and professionalism.
- Henry Rodriguez
-
Six Degrees has successfully merged art and science when it comes to recruiting top talent. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, and expertise set them apart. They have been our go-to source for positions ranging from Manager to Managing Director and have always delivered candidates that are well suited for the respective role. The reason they hit the mark is simple -- they listen and seek to understand the organisation, culture, and team they are recruiting for. Hiring globally brings its unique challenges, so it's great to work with a world-class team that is able to find world-class talent.
