IT Recruitment Agency Melbourne - Halcyon Knights - Executive IT Recruitment

The recruiter was incredibly helpful throughout the process and a pleasure to work with. I was always fully informed about the progress and at the end when it was time to negotiate the salary, the recruiter was even able to secure more than I asked for. This has been my best recruitment experience across my 15 year career

Joshua Vega is the sole reason i am writing this review as he has been the best recruiter i've ever been in contact with in my life and went above and beyond to make sure i was placed in my desired role.

Bad experience one of my friends had. She was referred by Halcyon knights to Coles. She was promised a role and with continuous persuasion by Halcyon knights recruiter to join the company, she agreed to join. She confirmed with recruiter on the role and the manager several times before joining. Coles made her work on weekends and weekdays which was not in agreement with the employee also that was not the role promised. She was cornered to the worst case possible by the management - such as not giving requirements, keep changing goal posts continuously.she was not given enough support
by her manager, they didn't share necessary documentation or help her scheduling transitions or even explaining the requirements clearly.her manager was rude when she asked for change in the role which was promised.she also faced discrimination as most of her team were asian and they spoke in one of the Asian languages and not converse with her clearly. (An act of groupism!). Most of the times manager pushes her one to one citing she was busy. At first, Recruiter paid attention to her complaints and tried speaking with Coles to change her role. But this was all ok only until the recruiter got paid by the company. Her manager went to the worst level of calling her six times a day and even after work hours. And for no reason just after 5 months and 2 weeks they terminated her probation and didn't listen to any of her conversation (mgr and her skip mgr) and was told the decision was made- by giving random reasons. She was not allowed to get HR details and was directed to Manager for any queries. She tried talking to recruiter to explain the situation, he gave contacts to speak to. Apparently the contact given was not the right point of contact.she tried to talk to the recruiter back but he never responded. RECRUITERS! Try not to give fake promises to candidates- who put a lot of effort building a career and with your less attention you have easily ruined someone's career and do not ghost the employee after you get paid.

Awesome team of skilled recruiters who take the time to understand their candidates and find the most suitable roles.

One of the best recruitment experiences I’ve ever had: Unlike most other recruiters (The just want to push bodies to get commission), Nicolas Schoumaund actually knew and understood the industry which gives him the ability to distinguish the chaff from the wheat. This is not only great of his clients, but also for high performing candidates that don’t have to compete against run of the mill candidates. Moreover, again unlike most other recruiters, Nicolas is also willing to go the extra mile and drive outcomes, instead of passively sitting around waiting for things to organically happen.

It should not be surprising as this is the second great experience I had with the Halcyon Knights group and these are recurring themes for them: I would highly recommend Nicolas Schoumaund and Adam Mauceri to enterprise organisations and dynamic candidates.

It was a pleasure to work with Aksana. She is a high level professional with exceptional customer orientation. Thanks to Aksana`s industry knowledge and understanding of our needs, we had a good list of candidates. She did a great job of attracting and engaging candidates with our company

Smooth and easy interview process - Helpful, warm and friendly team of consultants with constant updates during the interview process.

Working with Ming to secure my new role has been a great experience. She really ensured I had all the information I required to make the best decisions for the next step in my career.

Nhu & Tom are excellent recruiters, they are always available when you need them and will go the extra mile for you ;)

Aidan from Halcon Knights helped me with an 'Automation Engineer' role. He was very professional and helpful with the process. He shared all the information required for the interview process and kept me informed about the outcome. Aidan was easy to reach to and was prompt in the replies.

Thanks Aidan for helping me with the role.

Halcyon Knights helped to grab the position with Australia Post, overall process was very smooth, and clear communication, I was working with Shoki! Thanks for everything!

I applied for the job listing, where shortly after I was contacted by Chris Brydon. I was given the information about the company and position, and gave me time to review the role and decide whether I wanted to proceed with my application.

I passed the initial coding test and proceeded to the next stage of the interview, where Chris gave me more intimate details on the company and role, and was able to answer any questions I had and gave me tips with the interview. Passed the interview with flying colours and got a job offer on the same day. Afterwards, even after the job offer, Chris is still keeping in contact to make sure that everything is going right.

All in all, it was a great and smooth recruitment process. I would definitely recommend Chris as your recruiter.

The best company to choose if you decide to change or progress your career. Big shout to Emily O'Brien!

Shella has been extremely helpful throughout my job hunting journey. She organised the interviews and meetings, arranged interview preps, and provided frequent updates, follow-ups and feedback throughout the processes. She is also very patient and very understanding in addressing my questions. Overall, I had a really great experience throughout the whole recruitment processes with Shella.

Teo Zhi Hao, my Recruiter did an excellent job in transiting my career. From start till end, his communication remains honest, transparent and consistent. He understands my needs, goals and personal aspirations whole-heartedly. He also exercised empathy, coupled with sincerity and patience. These traits are rare because no candidate would appreciate being " just another number". Zhi Hao has indeed transformed the entire process into something that felt like 'a walk-in-the-park with a trust-worthy friend'. Brilliant experience!

Harley at Halcyon Knights is the best and really matched me perfectly for a position that will make me very happy in the future as I grow.

Aksana was incredibly helpful and professional at every stage of the process. She provided excellent advice and engaged in a meaningful way that showed genuine care and interest. Best I have ever worked with.

James Watson goes above and beyond other recruitment consultants. Great partnership, Great job matching capabilities and all around great bloke. Highly recommended

Billy follows up on everything you ask him to and keeps in constant contact with you and doesn't miss a thing! Highly recommend him!

Dilan Wijeyasiri was absolutely amazing right from my initial interaction and to being shortlisted to getting the offer. He gave me updates on the development of my application frequently that I did not have the want to follow-up with Dilan and got the interview time scheduled to suit my schedules as nicely. He explained the role in great detail and was always there to answer any question I had big or small. He helped me every step of the way, from making me aware of the Role available, to the Interview, then securing the role. Thanks to Dilan and loved this journey with him in acquiring the offer.
