About five years ago, feeling as though I had come to a bit of a standstill in terms of career progression, I nervously called recruitment consultant Rachel Townes-Vigh to discuss my next move in my legal career. At the time, I was a Legal Officer for a native title service provider and I was looking for a new opportunity but was concerned that I didn’t have the requisite experience that would allow me elevation within the sector. After a long chat with Rachel, she convinced me that I was ready to step up and encouraged me to pursue a number of more senior opportunities available at the time. She guided me every step of the way, from marketing myself on paper to helping me prepare for interviews with prospective employers. Rachel took the guess work out of everything, giving me feedback after interviews and assisting me through the negotiations that ensued. Thanks to Rachel, she helped me land my most pivotal job opportunity to date - a job that changed my entire career trajectory and allowed me to become a dynamic, influential and reputable lawyer in the sector - and ultimately, one that would be more marketable in the future.
Rachel has continued to check in with me over the years, providing regular insights on market activity and salary trends. She has also demonstrated genuine interest in my career movements and has assisted in steering me in the right direction towards my next big opportunity.
It is no surprise that Rachel is Australia’s leading native title legal recruiter. She is knowledgeable, honest, well-connected and above all, so very kind. I honestly love working with her and recommend you do the same, whether you are a business in need of recruitment services or an individual needing some tailored career advice.
