An opportunity for a leadership position that would play to his strengths made this an incredibly alluring career move. From the outset, the more boutique, highly collaborative environment at TwoScots enticed Kieran. Put simply, “everyone helps each other out and I love this aspect of [TwoScots] so far,” he says. When quizzed on what exactly makes his approach to recruiting unique, Kieran’s ethos is earnest and simple: “I’m a people person; I like to meet people, get to know them and fully understand their needs. I want to have long-lasting relationships with clients so that I can fully facilitate their needs, keeping lines of communication open.”

But what exactly does his role entail? Admittedly, Kieran notes that there’s “no such thing as a typical day”, managing two senior consultants, as well as running his own desk. He oversees roles for qualified accountants in the areas of IT, telecommunications, utility, entertainment, hospitality and not-for-profits, reaching out to clients in these sectors to foster relationships in the Melbourne market. “I’m trying to develop as many relationships as possible over the next few months and speak to as many candidates as possible, understanding what companies are on the lookout, in order to successfully place people in the right roles.”
