My name is Greg Pankhurst, and I'm an Account Manager and Co-owner of a rapidly growing Recruitment Company called Balance Recruitment. Balance has specialist IT and Finance divisions, though my own personal history is exclusively on the IT side.
Balance is not my first stop in IT recruitment. I spent over 3 years with Candle ICT, one of the big names of the IT recruitment sector.
Between my time with the two organisations, I feel like I've developed an excellent handle on the Australian IT recruitment industry. I've filled roles from CIO level down to helpdeskers and have worked accounts ranging from industry heavweights like Westpac through to small fledgling startups making their first hire. Development, infrastucture, contract, permanent -you name it, I've probably done it.
I am though a compartively late starter in recruitment. I actually started my career has a Biochemist, having done a PhD at the University of Sydney, and spent 5 years doing post docs with the Heart Research Institute and St Vincents Hospital. Perhaps not the standard background for the typical IT recruiter, but then again, I'm not sure such a thing exists.
