Background
I have 16 years experience in recruitment, 8 of which have been with HPG. I support clients and candidates across New South Wales, Queensland, and New Zealand. I would describe myself as persistent, positive, and passionate about connecting our value to the patient.
I don’t give up easily and love tackling challenging roles, where I use my skills to think outside the box and find the best solutions. I treat blue-collar recruitment with the same dedication as white-collar, leading to an impressive 85% assignment extension rate for placed contractors.
Building strong business relationships is key to my success, with 80% of my contracting placements resulting in repeat business. I ensure candidates possess the reliability and dedication required for critical roles. I treat all candidates with respect and genuine interest in their career goals, ensuring a perfect match for our clients.
I'm passionate about my clients' businesses and their impact on healthcare, I embrace change and foster creativity, deeply committed to the values and aspirations of your organisation.

Michelle is a highly efficient, competent and responsive recruiter. The role I was hired for was exactly as advertised. The contract terms and rate negotiation was highly transparent and I was extremely pleased with the overall outcome and role. Michelle was in constant contact with regular updates on the progress of the role and contract being negotiated. The contract signing, and conditions in the contract, exactly as agreed/discussed during the negotiation phase. I'd recommend Michelle as a recruiter for anyone looking for a role in her area of specialisation.
