Do What’s Right
“Integrity is a strength of our business. We represent so many different stakeholders that it is important to be transparent, open, and honest. From our first interactions with candidates or clients we are here to help, work hard to get a positive outcome and give detailed feedback along the way. Our communication is always sincere.”
Sandy Tuckwell

Brave & Curious
“Working in Recruitment we need to be brave in our conversations. With clients, it’s calling them out on bias, and suggesting different ideas. With candidates, it’s having tough conversations, sometimes around salary or expectations. Internally it’s about speaking your mind in a positive manner.”
Alan Claire
Senior Manager
Pursue Best
“Many of our team joined SDE because they want to become better recruiters. Everyone here has a growth mindset and an openness to learn.
We seek learning opportunities in order to grow and thrive.”
