My search for a desired position ended shortly after meeting Brendon from Helm Recruitment. Having listened to my requirements and preferences, Brendon was quickly able to put me in contact with a group I now feel privileged to be part of. His attentiveness throughout the placement process made my dealings with Helm Recruitment a pleasure.

I found that Brendon was able to make what is at times a very stressful period, into something that was to be enjoyed. Not only did Brendon listen to my requirements, he was able to present roles that were geared towards my skills, but offered me a chance to grow and develop.

The process of changing jobs or employers can be a testing and stressful time for anyone, but thanks to Helm Recruitment the journey was systematic, professional & enjoyable.

“I have known Brendon Jukes for over 20 years and in my role as Head of Australian Equities for Merrill Lynch, developed a strong and trusted relationship with Helm Recruitment. In the early stages of my time at Merrill Lynch in Australia, my main strategic focus was on rebuilding the broad equities platform and doing so at a very competitive time where the war for talent was intense. Helm Recruitment became a highly valued partner in my search to attract top quality candidates and was particularly outstanding for gaining access to, and helping us recruit, a senior candidate who initially did not want to engage, and who has subsequently gone on to become one of the firms most valued employees. Without Helm's help, I would not have been able to make this hire.

Outside of working on specific mandates, I found Brendon's knowledge of and intelligence across, what was happening in financial markets to be exceptionally helpful - in terms of engaging new candidates as well as managing my existing team.

I strongly endorse and recommend Helm Recruitment and am willing to provide a personal reference for Brendon Jukes. Helm Recruitment provides a proactive and professional service and is an organisation that you really feel is working with you and constantly in your best interests.”

In my role as Head of Dealing Room for Westpac Banking Corporation, Melbourne, I got to know, and developed a strong working relationship with Brendon Jukes from Helm Recruitment. Unlike some of the larger Agencies, I found Helm to be professional, approachable and who would provide quality candidates with skill sets comparable to what had been discussed and outlined.

I found that Brendon possessed a good understanding of Financial Markets and the skills required to fill the specialty nature of the roles. He also maintained a strong list of contacts within the industry which obviously assisted him when looking for candidates on three separate occasions over an 18 month period, we had the need to fill three vacant Dealing Roles. Candidates referred by Helm Recruitment were successful for all the roles. In fact in two cases, the unsuccessful candidates who had also been provided by Helm came a close second, and at the time, had there been other roles to fill, we would have happily employed them. The three individuals we employed have all been excellent hires, and two of them have since accepted internal promotions off shore.

I have no hesitation in recommending Brendon Jukes and Helm Recruitment, and they provide a professional level of service throughout the whole employment process, including excellent after sales service.”
