Big Umbrella were so helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. I was able to work with two amazing recruiters that oversaw everything from finding wonderful organisations that aligned with my values, to interview preparation and to finally landing the position. Thanks for everything!

Ursula Cooper Rehabilitation Counsellor

Sally and the team at Big Umbrella are exceptional at what they do! We have always valued our partnership with them, they are professional, friendly, proactive and exceptional communicators. Thanks to the team at BU, we have had so many more recruitment wins than we would have had without them. Couldn’t recommend them more.

Aleena Bablanian NSW Operations Manager

Sally was helpful and supportive through out the recruitment process. She understood the industry well and could provide advice about the market and opportunities available within my skill set and level of experience. Sally took the hassle out of looking for a job, it was all a very stress free process. She listened to what I was looking for and put in the effort to get the role and conditions of employment I was after, without any stress from me! I recommend Sally to anyone who is looking for new career opportunities.

Dlyte Iyke

I rang Ms Sally West from Big Umbrella after seeing a job advertised on Seek. I wasn’t sure if my professional background would suit the position, however Ms West encouraged me to submit my resume. I found Ms West very approachable and I appreciated that she returned my calls promptly, keeping me update on my application and the progress of the same.In order to prepare for my interview Ms West emailed Big Umbrella’s “Interview Guide – Candidates” to me which was useful and contributed to my successful application.

Glenys Ewings Rehabilitation Consultant (RN)

I couldn’t recommend Sal and her extraordinary team at Big Umbrella highly enough! I first met Sal all the way back in 2012 when she placed me in a role; her energetic personability and endless endeavour was a joyful experience then – and it hasn’t wavered one iota since. When it comes to recruitment – in Health and Rehabilitation spheres within Personal Injury particularly – the team at Big Umbrella really are peerless. Thanks, Sal and team – for all of your incredible assistance over the years . . . and for a standard of customer service that never relents!

John Mellors Chief Operating Officer

We have worked with Sally and the team at Big Umbrella for a number of years now and could not rate her and the team highly enough. One of the best recruiters I’ve worked with. Excellent communication and updates throughout the whole process which makes it very smooth and a good experience for both the company and candidates. Always impressed with how they deliver good candidates for roles that nobody else can!

Kate Reid HR Advisor

Very friendly and professional service. Assisted me with securing a new role by helping me prepare for interviews and improving my resume. Cheryl in particular was also able to assist with getting myself a higher remuneration in my new role. Could not recommend more 🙂
