About Tim

​With 9 years of experience in Technology recruitment, I specialise across Data, AI & Analytics, Software Engineering & Development, and Projects & Transformation. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of Australia’s largest and most recognised organisations, from Big 4 Consulting and Big 4 Banking through to global mining and infrastructure companies, helping them build high-performing technology teams.I genuinely enjoy building relationships and taking a people-first approach to recruitment. Whether it’s helping someone take the next step in their career or partnering with businesses on important hires, I pride myself on being honest, approachable, and easy to work with.Before recruitment, I played rugby semi-professionally after growing up on a farm in the South Island of New Zealand. Growing up that way taught me a lot about hard work, resilience, discipline, and just getting on with things, which is something I still bring into my work every day.Outside of work, I’m a proud dad to two boys and spend most of my time with family, keeping active, following sport, and staying close to the technology market, especially around AI and the way it’s continuing to change industries.If you’re looking to grow your technology team, explore opportunities in the market, or just connect for a chat, feel free to reach out.
