Testimonials
John was recommended to me by a close friend at a time when I was seeking a new role in Australia whilst still overseas (which I subsequently learnt is very difficult to achieve).“John’s professionalism, and extensive knowledge and network within the construction industry was instrumental in finding that first role in Australia.”
“In the years that followed, John introduced me to another rare and unique opportunity which was not advertised and which was (and still is) ideally suited to my skills and experience.”
John has also assisted me in turn in finding top quality candidates for challenging roles that I needed to fill. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services, both when seeking a new opportunity, and when seeking staff to fulfill unique and challenging roles.
I engaged John in 2012 to recruit several roles within the property development and facilities management fields. The roles included an assistant BD manager, a personal assistant, and 2 FM managers. All of these roles services the investment arm of the business and in particular a large worker accommodation village in Queensland.“In all cases my experience with John was exceptional and would recommend him strongly. He quickly understood the business and was instrumental in crafting the role descriptions.”
“John was very responsive during the recruitment process, which kept things moving. Above all was his vast network of contacts and this is where the real value-add was. All roles were promptly and successfully filled.”
I have used the services of Boleyn Group and in particular John Farrow a couple of times now and most recently for the recruitment of a candidate to fill a senior position in the business.“John invested considerable time and effort in the identification of a candidate, carefully matching the required skill set and cultural fit. “
“I would certainly recommend the services of John Farrow.”
I worked with John to secure a suitable position when relocating back to Australia from a decade working overseas.“I have been very impressed by John’s directness, willingness to understand my particular needs and desire to deliver for the Client exactly the professional Client was looking for.
I was very impressed by John’s in-depth understanding of the Australian and International construction market together with his professional and personal manner which helped smooth the transition.”
“I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending John when looking to secure a Senior Management position in the construction or engineering sector.”
“His in-depth knowledge and network spans a number of industries and the candidates he presents are always high calibre.”I would have no hesitation in recommending John’s services if you were seeking a trustworthy and knowledgeable recruitment supplier to partner with.
