Kayla loves the HorizonOne culture and hard-working nature of the team. Having worked in administrative and project based roles herself, she draws on her personal experience to understand her candidates’ unique journeys before seeking the best possible placement. She also loves to recruit for science-based roles which are a personal passion.
Kayla is a Consultant in our Administration and Office Support recruitment team. She works with candidates and clients to find and fill roles such as executive assistant, receptionist, office manager, and project support.
Born and bred in Canberra, Kayla started her career as an executive assistant for the University of Canberra before moving to ANU where she was involved in supporting their philanthropic work through the Principal Giving Program.
Ready for a change, Kayla spent some time as a manager in sales and business development with a large organisation before seeking out a boutique firm for a more personalised experience. She was attracted to HorizonOne’s values and flexibility, and the chance to use her skills to make a difference in people’s lives.
When she’s not working, Kayla breeds and shows her six German Shorthaired Pointers. Her weekends are spent training them and taking them across the country for exhibits. Her first dog, Maisie, is an Australian champion title holder. In the rare chance she finds some spare time, Kayla also loves to bake and is obsessed with Sci Fi.
When you’re a busy recruiter, and feel like the clock is always against you, the last thing you want to deal with is paperwork.
Like everyone these days, our inboxes are bursting at the seams. Uniquely for recruiters though, a large proportion of these emails are CVs and job applications. Given there are only so many hours in a day, the way we scan CVs has become a fine art.
In a world of increasingly complex technology where we are more connected each day, why is it that so many people have a blind spot for their LinkedIn profile?
Where do you want to be in life? It’s a question we often forget to ask ourselves as we struggle to keep up with the everyday demands of work, family, friends, life, hobbies, and so on.
When we leave school, a lot of us don’t know what we want to do for the rest of our lives. But there comes a point when the only way to find out is to try new things.
