About Us

“We were recommended to Slade Group by a business colleague and we were not disappointed. Barry Hodson was very professional in our dealings and a pleasure to get along with. He provided high quality candidates and was very proactive in his communication with us in every step of the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Barry and Slade Group to our other business colleagues for their recruitment needs.”

Courtney Stoppa

Financial Controller, The Met Group

“From my very first interaction with Slade Group, I immediately felt their authenticity. Throughout the preparation process leading into the interview stage I was extremely impressed with the amount of detail that was involved. It was the most qualified and focused procedure, which I found prepared me better than anything that I have experienced before. This level of detail and investment from Slade allowed me to become more in tune with the areas that required attention for the interviews and gave me the ability to excel. This professionalism coupled with their genuine nature made the entire experience an enjoyable one and my most memorable to date.”

“Laurie Serafini provided invaluable strategic input into the recruitment process and ensured we were able to gain two great new employees who have made a significant contribution to our organisation. Slade Executive will be our first call for any future recruitment needs.”
Gerard Kennedy

Chief Financial Officer, Golf Australia

“Clearly Slade Group is up there with the best of them when it comes to recruitment methodology, but at the end of the day it is the depth of knowledge about what needs to be achieved rather than what needs to be done that means you get the right person into the role… know the people, know the culture, throw in good processes and you get good outcomes that are worth paying for.”
