With a degree in marketing and a keen interest in employment law, I have found my passion in the recruitment industry, where I can blend my expertise with a desire to make a meaningful impact. My career began in the UK, where I gained valuable experience working in talent acquisition for large corporate companies. This experience provided a solid foundation for my role at a pharmaceutical company in Sydney, marking my first foray into the biotechnology sector. Here, I discovered the profound satisfaction of contributing to a company that gives back to patients and collaborating with talented professionals.
Currently, I am part of HPG in Sydney, where I thrive in a company culture that values patient impact and innovation. I am dedicated to sourcing top talent to ensure life-saving products reach those in need and placing influential leaders who drive business success. My commitment to making a difference is evident in every aspect of my work, from building strong client relationships to identifying and nurturing potential in candidates.
At HPG, I am not just a recruiter but a partner in progress, ensuring the right talent is in place to achieve extraordinary outcomes.

I had the pleasure of working with Jane Nichols, and I can't speak highly enough of her. Jane is brilliant, present, and incredibly honest. She consistently upholds the dignity of her candidates by always returning their calls, which is a rare and much-appreciated quality. Her reliability and politeness are second to none, making every interaction a positive experience. Additionally, Jane's engaging personality and sense of fun make her a joy to talk to. She truly stands out as an exceptional recruiter, her passion for her job and how much she values it, shows in the way she interacts with everyone. Promise you will never regret engaging with Jane. Thank you, Jane for being your authentic self :)
Order Processing Manager -
I thoroughly enjoy working with Jane when recruiting for new team members. Jane is a great listener and really takes the time to understand the requirements of the role and the type of candidate that would be the best fit. The time she takes to listen and understand then ensures that only the very best and most suitable candidates are submitted for any roles that I may have open. I really value this relationship as it saves me a lot of time and I trust that Jane has done a lot of work ahead of the candidate actually being presented to me. Jane is also a great communicator and will always reach out to check details if they are not clear. We have had many positions successfully filled by HPG for this reason.
