About Us

Our story

It all began in 2004. David, Nick and Paul launched Six Degrees Executive with one simple objective in mind; be Australia’s leading specialist executive recruitment and talent solutions consultancy, targeting executive level professionals across marketing, digital, retail, sales, supply chain, procurement and engineering & operations.

To get there, they built a team of mature professionals who provide high-touch recruitment, executive search and consulting services and offer a depth of specialist knowledge and skills unlike our competitors. We build partnerships with businesses to understand their organisational drivers, in order to deliver the right talent and best outcomes for both customer stakeholders; those seeking talent for their business and those searching for their next career opportunity. We pride ourselves on being a non-transactional agency and have an innate and genuine desire to shape the futures of individuals and build successful and sustainable businesses by unearthing exceptional talent.

Being the best

Talent acquisition has changed in fundamental ways and to remain meaningful, we have evolved ahead of the curve. We know that in order to be the best, we can never stand still and must always challenge ourselves, our processes and our knowledge. We must be resourceful, unrelenting and imaginative to remain a leading executive search firm and talent solutions consultancy.

To do this we have a learning and development culture and invest heavily in the personal growth and development of our consultants. Many of our leaders have been developed internally and have been provided the opportunity to take forward steps in their career; 50% of our board of directors consists of consultants that have been internally developed and promoted. The philosophy we take to market is the same philosophy we employ in sourcing our own talent; to be the best, we have to recruit the best talent.

Our success

We can beat our chest all we like, but ultimately what defines us is our ability to unearth talent that thrives. Our mindset is never transactional, it is always future oriented. Our performance is directly correlated with the performance of our placements and talent we recommend.

We have a reputation for consistently delivering quality executive talent and are proud to be judged on our track history of success. We have a 90% first time fill rate and furthermore, over 90% of our placed talent remain in their roles post 12 months.

We believe 100% in the power of what we do. People power businesses and the important role we play in connecting you is not lost on us. We thrive on seeking an edge and delivering the best results for our partners.

- 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.

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.
