We tasked Foundation Recruitment with finding a suitable candidate to fill our estimating role. Our business group has a broad construction market base so our needs were quite demanding in terms of experience across industrial, commercial, refurbishment and light civil work. In addition we are a predominately design and construct business so we were not looking for a conventional quantity surveyor rather a cost planner that had capability to participate in the design process and assist in converting work. Foundation Recruitment found us this...

I first met Paul Gay in October 2014 when I applied for a role within a newly formed legal firm which Paul was assisting in the recruitment process. The application process was very smooth with Paul and his team at Foundation Recruitment keeping me informed at all times.

Melida Sweet Practice Manager, Oncore Legal Service

In my capacity as General Manager Human Resources Manager for Barclay Mowlem / Laing O’Rourke I first started dealing with Paul Gay in 2004. We used his services on a spasmodic basis whenever our internal team were having difficulty securing staff for projects and functional roles. In 2009 we contracted Paul through his company Foundation Recruitment, as an internal Consultant partnering with our Human Capital team to identify and secure senior staff for the business throughout Queensland and The Northern Territory. Paul worked closely with ...

Mark Vining General Manager HR, Laing O'Rourke/Theis

In my role as Business, Regional and finally General Manager at Thomas & Coffey, I personally had considerable dealings with Paul Gay and his firm Foundation Recruitment, in fact he and is firm was Thomas & Coffey’s preferred for recruitment for the Queensland Region. As you can appreciate in recent years, recruitment businesses have been thriving, however on the basis of just getting bums on seats. I quickly learnt it was critical to my business that I built a professional relationship with a recruitment company that had a vested interested...

“Sarah-Jane worked very hard on our company's behalf to secure exactly the right person to fill the role required. I was impressed by her capacity to patiently and professionally seek out from us, just what we required in the candidate for the role. The candidate Sarah-Jane presented was a great fit, and is proving to be a real asset, and just the person we required. The candidate was not only a great professional addition to our team, but Sarah Jane's early consultative process, has ensured we have secured a great fit for the team on all le...

“We recently engaged Foundation Recruitment to recruit for a new Operations Manager. Being a pivotal position within our company, we were looking for quality candidates. We found that Foundation Recruitment had access to candidates of a higher standard compared to other agencies we had considered. We believe this is due to their recruitment process/screening. I have dealt with recruitment agencies both from a candidate and employer perspective over the years and Sarah stands out as a consultant. I found Sarah to be very professional, industr...

Leisa Harris

Sarah has been helping me try and secure a position with Ausbuild, one that I hope to secure successfully. Sarah's attention to detail, and her commitment to her job is honestly, second to none. It’s quite clear that Sarah loves her job, and she is extremely good at it. It is very rare these days to find staff that are so dedicated and committed to the jobs. Sarah is a rare find and your company is extremely lucky to have her. Not only is her bright and bubbly personality a lovely trait, she makes you feel very comfortable whether you are ta...

“I recently worked with Sarah to place a new employee in our office, Sarah could provide several options straight away to look through and access. She consistently followed up with any progress and further options as they became available. I highly recommend Sarah and will be working with her in the future”.

“I have worked with Sarah over the past few years. She is dedicated not only to finding the right people, but working to make sure the placement is a good fit for both the employer and employee. She has been the utmost professional in all our conversations and her industry knowledge has been of great value. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking to engage a recruitment consultant and encourage anyone seeking employment to contact her”.

Rob Dean

“Sarah assisted Northbuild during March 2017 in finding a suitable Site Manager for an Aged Care Facility project we were starting after Easter in Millmerran. Sarah provided comprehensive advice and information on many candidates. An interview was arranged and further discussions took place regarding logistics and arranging terms of employment. At all times, Sarah was readily available to contact and always followed up my queries promptly and professionally. Having a recruitment company with a sound knowledge of our industry and the position...

Andrew Civil Regional Manager Toowoomba, Northbuild

I have to say, it has been a pleasure dealing with you (Sarah) and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to potential employers or employees. Having been in recruitment myself I can appreciate how demanding your position can be, yet you still delivered on an expectation promising to get back to me by close of business on two occasions. Seriously impressing me! I believe in giving credit where it’s due and I hope you will forward this on to your direct report, so they are reminded of the value you bring to their business. Best of luc...
