Director, People & Culture

Sarah Melton from Macarthur Bond supported me in a lateral move in 2022. Sarah is professional, warm and generous with her time. I was grateful for her patience and support - responding to my many questions and assisting me to navigate some tricky conversations around my departure. I felt well prepared for each interaction thanks to her excellent pre-briefings. At all times, I believed that Sarah wanted the best outcome both for me and the firm - thankfully those outcomes were aligned, as I am now very happily settled into my new role. Sarah has continued to keep in touch and offer feedback in the transition. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah - both to hiring firms and candidates.

Partner (moved from one global firm to another)

"Sarah has changed my views on the value that recruiters add to the acquisition of lateral partners. She was proactive and responsive through a lengthy process. She was not pushy but created the right sense of urgency to keep discussions moving. She was approachable and I felt completely comfortable asking questions that were important to me that I would otherwise not feel comfortable asking directly. I grew to trust her. “She clearly understood the engaging firm's brief and culture, to such an extent that I initially assumed she was an employee of the firm, rather than a recruiter. I would have no hesitation recommending Sarah and, having been recruited by her, I intend to use her in my new role.“

Partner (moved from a medium sized firm to a global firm)

“I worked with Sarah for a long time before she found the right opportunity. Throughout that time, she was pragmatic, supportive and always offered very astute advice on the market and the dynamics that play out for partners when looking to change firms.

“She is also a good listener and took the time to understand my priorities and motivations. Her guidance and help were invaluable.”
