It is my pleasure to recommend the recruitment services of CW Recruitment to you. During the past ten years, I have turned to Cressida Ward, Director of CW Recruitment, for each new step in my career.

Cressida understands my personality and takes account of my skill sets when matching me with potential employers. She has introduced me to the right job rather than any job. Consequently, I have always found the roles which Cressida has recommended have resulted in a mutually beneficial relationship between me and my employer – I have entered a new role that enables me to learn and develop while my employer has been provided with a staff member who is competent and capable of fulfilling the duties of the role. Each time I have been very pleased with my position and remained with the firm for several years. It is only by happenstance, beyond Cressida’s foresight and control, that I have chosen to move on from each position; but each time I have returned to Cressida to place me for the next step in my career development.

Across the board, I have always been pleased with her professionalism and in particular, her insight and judgement, when recommending me for career opportunities.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Cressida Ward for over nine years. During the years of our acquaintance, I have known Cressida in many capacities. We worked together for many years in agency recruitment and more recently she has provided us high quality finance staff where I work as an internal recruiter. While I have had a strong working relationship with Cressida as a colleague and now a service provider since 2006, recently she has proven to us that her integrity and results driven attitude is what we look for in our service providers. Cressida is an intelligent, capable, dedicated, and personable young woman. She is always quick on her feet, with sensible reactions in all the circumstances I’ve seen her in. I feel confident in saying that she is capable of handling any situation with thoughtfulness and maturity.

I engaged Cressida’s services approximately six years ago and have found her to be welcoming, friendly and professional throughout this time. Cressida is extremely knowledgeable with the recruitment process and incredibly organised with her work. She was happy and willing to share her knowledge and was supportive and patient with my requirements. Cressida is a dedicated Recruiter who genuinely cares about her candidates and clients. Cressida brings a real passion and energy to what has been a difficult, complex and long process in recruiting in regional Queensland.

Cressida has recruited roles for me over the past ten years from Receptionist, Client Service Officers, Paraplanners and Advisers. I have always found Cressida to be personable, punctual and proactive. She displays a good understanding of the needs of the Wealth Management sector, and as a result was quickly able to achieve positive outcomes for both myself as a client and the candidates she recruited. Cressida has spent a great deal of time with me, listening to me explain roles and the type of people I was recruiting. Also she understands the cultural environment of my business which was very important. Within short timeframes Cressida is able to find appropriate candidates, and everything she described to me was confirmed after meeting the candidate, whom we in many cases subsequently employed.

Cressida provides a high level of service. She is available 24/7 and she is always the first point of contact. Her knowledge of the industry and her professional, responsive and collaborative approach is outstanding. She has always provided candid and timely advice on any issue that may affect the timing or the success of a selection process, such as remuneration and benefits, candidate restrictions, notice periods, etc. What separates Cressida from the rest is that she is passionate about what she does, and is truly very honest and open in her approach.
