01 / Why Greenflag

Success built on a network, not a database or search engine

Contract recruitment works best when speed and confidence go together — and that starts with a proper briefing. Every contract search begins with understanding the actual problem the role needs to solve; what defines short term and longer term success and why. That detail and the questions in between dictate who I approach and why.

A large proportion of the contractors Greenflag places have worked through Gerard before. These contractors are known performers with a track record Gerard can attest to and whose capabilities clients can access with confidence. They come with real testimonials and a proven ability to make an immediate impact, because they've done it already. The result is a network that gets stronger with every engagement: satisfied clients return, proven contractors get placed again, and the standard only gets harder to match.

Client Testimonials

"I have used Gerard's services on many key hires over the past couple years. In all cases have found him to be extremely efficient and considered in his search to find suitable candidates that match the brief - he has the eye to identify quality. What has also been evident is the time he invests with the shortlisted candidates to ensure they are briefed and present well for interview. Overall have found Gerard to be highly effective and a valued partner."

Des

Group Chief Technology Officer

"Gerard successfully represented me for a Technology Leadership position in 2020. Since then, I have partnered with him to help me build out several high performing teams. I have found Gerard to be someone who runs a thorough and transparent recruitment process. His ability to listen and understand the brief is key to that success and as a result I have become a vocal advocate of his services with colleagues and peers. I trust his honest approach to the work we have done and will continue to do into the future."

Ken

"Gerard made hiring our Business Analyst role genuinely easy — he understood exactly what we needed and only sent us candidates worth talking to. We had a strong hire in place within 3 weeks, and I'd recommend Gerard to any business that wants recruiters who actually listen."

Contractor Testimonials

"Gerard is honest, relatable and - importantly - always called when he said he would. He matched me to a role that allowed me to progress within the company, and has kept in touch to see how the job and I are going. He knows the industry, and the people in it. He's serious about matching you to a role that will suit you, and has answered every call. He's a stand out from other agents - and is a wonderful change in an industry known for forgetting you."

Lisa

Lead BA, financial services

"Working with Gerard through Greenflag was a great experience. He matched me with a contract that suited both my skills and the type of work I wanted to do. Communication was always really good, everything was straightforward and whenever I had any questions he was always quick to help or chat with the client if needed. I'd definitely recommend Greenflag to anyone looking for contract work."

Anastacia

Software Engineer, healthcare/pharmaceutical

"I have been contracting through Greenflag for nearly a year and have found Gerard to be extremely approachable and supportive during the application/renewal process and throughout the engagement. He has also strived to obtain the best rates and assignments that are interesting and great for professional development. I have no hesitation in recommending Greenflag."

Nick

Senior BA, financial services

"Gerard is a well-connected recruiter, who provided me with insights into the client needs, beyond the position description. I particularly appreciate his genuine, personalised approach, which stands out from AI-based & other scattergun methods used elsewhere"

Martin

Program Manager, financial services

"Greenflag demonstrated a strong understanding of both the project requirements and the role throughout the engagement. The briefing process was thorough and well considered, with a clear focus on ensuring the right alignment between the contractor's experience and the client's needs."

Yang

Senior BA, financial services

"I recently moved from the UK to Australia and was struggling to land my first role here. I was introduced to Gerard who made an immediate impact to my job search. He reached out to chat to me and find out more about what I was looking for and the next steps I was looking to take in my career. Gerard brought a very personalised approach to helping me find a dream role here in Australia and has always been available to help answer any questions or concerns I had. I've been very fortunate to land the role I did and that's all thanks to Gerard and Greenflag Recruitment."

Max Jones

Service Delivery Manager

"Gerard is a top class recruiter and an all round top class bloke. Gerard listened to my somewhat sticky visa situation and had no problem putting me forward for a contract position regardless and having some faith in me. Gerard made an effort to meet up after successful placement for a catch up in person which was great. Bravo to recruiters like Gerard " 👏"
