“Our relationship has been built on trust and mutual respect, which makes it really easy to work together.

The Burns Sheehan team are an extension of our team because of the approach they have. Their communication is natural and honest, they advise and educate us on the market – but more than anything they get the job done in a way that actually makes it easier for us to operate.

There’s total trust between Simon and our internal TA team.”

“Burns Sheehan get to know people across the business, which helps them get a good picture of our culture, and fill the roles with the right people.

They helped us hire our first Engineering Manager, which was a huge role for Bulb. They gave us a lot of market insight into the types of profiles we needed and the interview process. We made the hire in a quarter of the time we’d forecast – and now they’ve made us five management tech hires in 12 months.”

"I've always found that Burns Sheehan are on point, have relevant data and share market intel in an insightful and easy to digest way. 

As a business undergoing a significant technical transformation that needs current and evolving data, the insights reports are invaluable to making sure we can keep up.... The data isn't just about salary benchmarking, but expectations of the market, common trends and suggestions too. Their 2022 Tech Hiring Report is the best salary survey insights deck I've used this year."

Natalie Harmon-Tatton, HR Manager, GoCity

"With Burns Sheehan, I always trust that the talent they share with us will be vetted and capable.

Burns Sheehan has supported us as we’ve laid the foundation for our business-critical Product and Engineering teams internationally. They’ve given us confidence in our ability to reach our goals as a technology team. There’s no sales pitch either; they just crack on with it, and they’ve yet to send us a candidate who fell short of the mark.”

“MOO were working with Burns Sheehan over an 18 month period to help support our internal recruitment function during a period of high growth. 

Working onsite, the two consultants responded to challenging requirements, and delivered exceptional candidates on time and on budget. The experience and network of contacts they brought to the process has been invaluable in meeting the needs of the business as we grow – particularly in regard to technology recruitment.”

Paul Jones, Former People Director, Moo.com

“It’s a two-way partnership; they have real accountability and pride in what they do.

Burns Sheehan always want to understand the motivation behind why you want to hire, so they can genuinely link up the right person into that role. There’s a real maturity and depth to our working relationship. There’s lots of communication, as well as sessions to kick off new roles, to make sure we’re all aligned. You feel as though you’re working with people and it’s not a transaction. They really feel a part of us, and we love working with them.”
