We take the jargon out of recruitment. We’re not taking a deep dive, pivoting, circling back, touching base, or even leaning in! We resolve your recruitment challenges... without the headache.
The recruitment industry is notorious for taking a scattergun approach, sending large numbers of unqualified and irrelevant candidates to hiring managers. We pride ourselves on getting to know our clients and delivering shortlists that emphasise quality over quantity.
Looking for a fashion designer to curate your next collection in Milan? Probably not us. But if you need help with your Accounting, Technology, or Business Support recruitment, we might know a thing or two! With over 60 years of combined recruitment experience in the Melbourne market, our team understands how to navigate local industries, trends, and challenges.
Okay, we’ll admit this one does sound a little bit like jargon – but it’s one of the founding principles of our business. We want to deliver our recruitment services in a way that matches who we are as people. So what does that mean? It means you’ll partner with a consultant who values honesty, empathy, transparency, and a partnership-driven service.
Pushy recruitment consultants? Nah, that doesn’t align!

Well here's the nitty gritty. We have over 60 years combined experience in the Melbourne market, and every director has over 10 years' experience. Not bad, huh?
Director - Finance & Accounting
Looking for someone to talk your language about balance sheets and journals without a glazed-over look in their eye? Luke qualified as a Chartered Accountant (CA) in 2011 and certainly knows the difference between a debit and credit. Since hanging up the abacus, Luke has racked up an impressive 11 years' recruitment experience in Melbourne, so you know you are in safe hands!
Why me? - I place the utmost importance on finding the right balance between technical and cultural fit. I value transparency as integral to any recruitment process – from the client, the candidate, and the recruiter. Taking the time to understand my client and candidate requirements is critical to building successful, long-standing partnerships.
Director - Technology
With 10 years' recruitment experience under her belt, Laura has a knack for finding unicorn candidates in the tech space. Her clients will tell you she’s relentless, innovative, and never afraid to roll up her sleeves to get the job done. Outside of work, Laura is a champion for diversity in STEM through her volunteer work with Go Girl, inspiring young girls to consider tech careers. Need help finding talent in the tech space? Laura is your go-to expert!
Why me? - I’m all about integrity, innovation, and good old-fashioned hard work. I take the time to really understand your needs, then hustle (hard) to find the perfect fit. I’m honest, upfront, and won’t waste your time – if I have concerns about a candidate, I’ll flag them right away. For me, recruitment is about creating genuine partnerships with both clients and candidates to deliver results. If you’re after someone who digs deeper, thinks smarter, and doesn’t rest until the job’s done, I’m ready when you are.
Director - Finance & Accounting
With 11 years' experience recruiting Accounting & Finance professionals, Nick knows his way around the Melbourne market. Straight shooting, no nonsense recruitment? Yep, Nick is your guy!
Why me? - I try my hardest to remain impartial through recruitment processes. I want your thoughts & involvement to design a recruitment process that works for you. I pride myself on quality, I'll never send a candidate I don’t believe & if I have any concerns about a candidate I'll flag them from the get go. I've built my career on the back of repeat business & filling over 90% of the roles that I work on.
Director - Finance & Accounting
Recently faced with one of the industry's biggest rebrands, Cam has decided to shorten his name from Cameron to Cam – how risqué! But don’t let that confuse you, Cam is one of Melbourne's most seasoned Accounting & Finance recruiters with over 16 years' experience in the local market. Recruiting across all levels of the finance function, Cam will work tirelessly to drive positive outcomes for his candidates and clients.
Why me? - I aim to make the recruitment process efficient and enjoyable. Through many years of experience, I have developed a deep understanding of my candidates' and clients' wants and needs. With a quality-over-quantity approach, the recruitment process will always be efficient. Celebrating positive outcomes and building personal relationships is my favourite part of the process.
Director - Finance & Accounting
With over 17 years of Accounting & Finance recruitment experience, 11 in Melbourne, anyone that knows Fraser will attest to him being one of the strongest & most successful recruiters in Melbourne. Easy on the eye but a smidge harder on the ear with his weird and wonderful Scottish vocabulary, Fraser will absolutely dedicate himself to supporting clients and candidates that work in partnership with him.
Why me? - My character dictates that if a client or candidate is fully engaged and needs my help, I'll work with dedication and do everything I possibly can to achieve a positive outcome for them. I put a lot of emphasis on risk management and careful decision making during any recruitment process and this helps to maximise the chances of a successful outcome. I've helped many organisations build productive and tight knit finance teams in recent years and that will be the ongoing focus in my new role at Align Talent.
