As a result, Dominique was able to work within our quick timeline and provided us with great candidates. I would definitely recommend working with Dominique!”

Interim HR Transformation Lead

“Dominique is a delight to work with. She has placed me multiple times over the years and has been fantastic at building a long-term relationship. She has a very entrepreneurial approach, and you get the sense that she truly understands the challenges of the contracting world. She always gets the cultural fit element right, which is something that often gets overlooked when placing contractors. I couldn’t recommend her enough, and I wouldn’t hesitate to engage her if I were building a team around me.”

Transformation Consultant

“The highest compliment I can pay Dominique is that I trust her implicitly to align me to an assignment that will both enable me to succeed and ensure the cultural fit is spot on.
Her forensic eye for detail, combined with her energy, enthusiasm, and determination, makes having her in your corner an absolute treat.
She is the epitome of professionalism, a great representative, and a genuinely warm person. I look forward to continuing a successful working relationship.”

HR & Transformation Director

“Dominique is everything a candidate could wish for from an interim consultant.

She not only aligns assignments to your skills, experiences and requirements, but she ‘owns’ the transition from initial interest right through to commencing the project, including when the scope creeps/shifts/takes a complete volts face!

She is also very personable, and when she asks ‘how’s things?’ you believe she actually is interested in how things are.

I cannot recommend Dominique highly enough, so if she posts suitable opportunities on LinkedIn, you can be sure to be treated professionally and courteously.”

“Dominique has been great to work with. She contacted me for a role she was tasked with resourcing and was very knowledgeable about the client’s requirements and expectations, which was invaluable in helping me secure the role. I would highly recommend her.”
