Client Success Stories & Feedback

"I had the pleasure of working alongside Kim for almost 3 years. Brought in to head up a new area of the organisation, Kim quickly proved herself an invaluable thought leader and support mechanism for her team and the larger business. Kim has an affinity for building relationships, and an innate capacity to see what’s going on below the surface. She is perpetually warm, patient and encouraging, and at the same time, works with her stakeholders (both internally and externally) to manoeuvre past boundaries to reach richer outcomes. I loved working with Kim, and am delighted that our friendship has flourished as we’ve both embraced new opportunities. Kim’s tenacity, resilience and work ethic is second to none and I have no doubt that she will enjoy outstanding success in her new business." 

"I've had the pleasure of partnering with Kim and her team on a significant bulk recruitment project in the disability services space. What set Kim apart was her deep understanding of the NDIS and the NFP sector. Kim takes the time to really understand her clients' business, and the very successful outcome we had on our project was testament to her ability to deliver in this space. Kim and her team deliver exceptional results in a warm and engaging way. I would not hesitate to recommend Kim and her team."

"Kim Keating is an amazing, skilled recruitment/human resources professional who has an infectiously positive, can do attitude – backed up by great communication skills, warmth and openness and the ability to listen carefully as a basis for developing individualised solutions for young people seeking employment. As a friend and ally to people with disability, she has a real commitment to seeing people succeed and flourish, and the skills to creatively and strategically work for good work experience or job matches for young people. In 2 018, Kim was a guest presenter at our CRU information session on our Aiming High project for young people with disability and her families where she shared her wealth of knowledge about employer’s mindsets and needs, and how young people with disability can identify employers and effectively pitch their skills to secure employment. Feedback from the session was extremely positive, with participants impressed with Kim’s knowledge and her capacity to think laterally about what is needed. Kim is a creative problem-solver, a great networker, and works from a strong ethical values base. I have confidence in Kim’s capacity to help families and young people think about the path to meaningful employment and to work respectfully alongside them to map out helpful next steps – all for the long-term goal of meaningful employment." 

"Kim is one of those managers that you wish for and that I was lucky enough to have! I met Kim nearly five years ago and from that moment she has not only been a pillar of strength, advice and support, but we also have a wonderful friendship. She is a true mentor to me. Kim is an excellent Manager and colleague and she has been both of these for me at different times. Kim is the person who has your back - always! In saying that, she is also that person, who doesn't hesitate to give you constructive and honest feedback when you need it. I am truly grateful for not only the wonderful friendship that we have but the professional guidance that she has instilled in me. She has the knack of providing that guidance, then supporting you in your growth journey. Kim has truly made a difference to my life, on so many levels."

"I have known Kim Keating since the early 90s when we were working in recruitment for Drake International. Since that time our relationship has gone from being one of colleagues to a genuine friendship. Sometimes our busy lives have not allowed us to stay in touch as much as I think we would both like but the one thing I know is I could call Kim tomorrow with some awful disaster and she would be there to assist in any way she could. She is that human being. Writing an endorsement for her is effortless as there are so many positive things I can say. Kim is ethical, she is calm under pressure and her problem-solving skills are second to none. Kim is clever and tough and a genuine listener and someone who puts herself into any endeavour with every fibre of her being. I have no doubt the journey she is on will be a successful one with a business model that is a great proposition for any established recruiter." 

"It is my pleasure to write this recommendation for Kim Keating. I have known Kim throughout my 20 years of Recruitment, and essentially have Kim to thank for helping me shape my career. Kim identified qualities about myself I hadn’t quite identified and throughout my time under Kim’s direction and leadership, she was instrumental in providing me the Industry knowledge, business acumen and simple personal tools to continue and grow personally and professionally. Kims’ continuous high energy, zest for life, contagious smile and enthusiasm has left a remarkable impression on me and I cannot praise her enough on being a Leader who continues to support growth and development. On a final note, Kim is an incredible team player who was always willing to help co-worker s and strongly encourages the “I believe in you” attitude!" 

"Hi Kim. I’ve been meaning to send you a message for a while now to congratulate you and your team for the excellent work together on delivering the ECEI project for SEQ. It’s a huge volume in a short period of time and the percentage conversion is incredible. You really have delivered on what we spoke about all of those months ago. I hope your engagement with my people has been as good as I’ve heard it is for us. It’s been the largest one off agreement we’ve had with an agency before, and it’s worked well. Hopefully it’s been right up there for you personally too. Matt" 

"Reference for Kim Keating I wish to share my support and recommendation for Kim Keating and her team. I originally commenced working with Kim in 2015 in a previous role, however when I took my role at the Mercy Health Foundation I thought there was no other person more experienced in the Not for Profit sector than Kim to fill my then 5 vacant positions. Kim is an individual that stands out from the crowd especially when dealing with various recruiters in the NFP market. She has the ability to embed herself into your organisation and review your strategy to truly understand your requirements, rather than providing a list of people who could fulfil the role based on a PD you rush to write. Kim is highly talented in the Not-for-profit sector and this is why I use her time and time again. Her combination of contacts and ability to tailor a discreet yet personable search me ans we truly get the best talent at the point of offering. I would recommend Kim and her team to anyone who is serious about investing in the people they hire." - Kind regards

"Testimonial for Kim Keating As the Recruitment Advisor for Anglicare SQ, I have known Kim for just on two years, and have engaged her to assist us with recruitment a number of times. Kim has extensive knowledge and experience within community and disability health, and her understanding of Anglicare’s business and the services we provide is genuine and robust. She is a strong recruiter and takes the time to provide quality candidates who offer the skills, qualifications and cultural fit we look for. I have also attended a number of forums/round table discussions and workshops on the impacts of NDIS, which have been developed and facilitated by Kim. They have been Informative, thought-provoking and a great opportunity for ourselves and other service providers to engage in conversation and the sharing of ideas."
