Testimonials

Geoff Whytcross worked for me at both Morgan & Banks and Talent2 for the last 20 years and was our Practice Manager for the Retail Industry. Geoff showed from his results that he not only had a good understanding of the functional requirements of the roles that he recruited for but by using his listening skills and the use of probing questions, he was able to gain a good understanding of the culture of the companies that he recruited for which resulted in more successful placements of key exe Read More…

I first met Geoff Whytcross in 1997 when he was in the process of recruiting a senior executive role for an international fast food company. Although I decided not to pursue the role, Geoff and I formed a business friendship which has led to a very successful and structured career development pathway over a number of years .

Geoff and I have kept in touch and although I moved out of the retail industry and worked in an unrelated field, Geoff would call me every 6 months or so to ascer Read More…

I have known Geoff Whytcross for the last 15 years as a client, candidate and friend. Geoff first started working with me when I was Managing Director of Best & Less and undertook some recruitment work. I subsequently have held CEO/Managing Director roles with Canterbury International, General Pants and Country Road and have used Geoff as both a recruitment client and a sounding board in that time.

Geoff has a strong background in the human resources industry and not only does he just Read More…

My experience with Geoff commenced when I sought a position he was sourcing. I discovered Geoff to be a man of great integrity. He did what he agreed to, and his questions and comments told me that he had understood me and listened very carefully.

As it turned out, I wasn’t the successful candidate for the position. But through our subsequent phone conversations and meetings I have come to know Geoff as a friend and mentor. He made time and showed respect. I recommend Geoff as a rare Read More…

Executive Coaching has been critical to my professional development, first when I moved into a senior executive role in a major telecommunications company, and then some years later when I moved into strategic advisory/consulting work, (which I am still doing today). In both instances coaching was very helpful in both transitioning into the new role and performing successfully in that role on an ongoing basis. While at the end of the day the key insights and realisations I had from coaching w Read More…

Geoff’s professional leadership coaching was a fantastic experience for me both personally and professionally. The coaching provided by Geoff assisted with my professional aspirations to obtain a General Management position, as well as personally taking a new perspective on how I interact with those around me, in addition to the diverse range of situations a professional workplace can present. Geoff’s style of coaching is consultative and refreshing- with many aspects covered and each topic unp Read More…

I worked with Geoff over a seven month period concentrating on the sustainable growth and long term goals of my businesses. When I first met Geoff I was running two rapidly growing creative practices as a sole practitioner. I was feeling quite overwhelmed and was so busy I was only able to focus in immediate short term needs. Geoff helped me to consolidate my long term goals for each business and put into practice strategies that have helped me to consistently work towards the type of business Read More…

Thank you immensely Geoff for your support, leadership and coaching over the past 6 months.

The advice that was provided by Geoff during the coaching assignment was simply excellent but most importantly, challenged my inner self.

My goal was to seek a new role at a challenging point in my career and Geoff’s consultative but direct style was a perfect match during this time.

I am pleased to report we collectively delivered against the plan and I am sure, that without Geoff’s coaching, th Read More…

My role with the company that I had loved and worked with for over 7 years was recently made redundant. This was during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Having never been unemployed in my 20+ years of working and having a young family, it was an incredibly stressful and worrisome time.

With so many other people also going through job losses, I knew that I had to gain an edge if I was to not only gain employment again but to advance my career, considering the amount of talent available. Read More…

Geoff was recommended to me when my employment situation unexpectedly changed.

Geoff’s approach was supportive and positive, he provided mentorship and guidance on not only how to best update my CV and prepare for interviews, but also how to look at alternate opportunities outside my industry based on my skill sets and experience.

I was successful in gaining a role at a new organisation and since that time Geoff has kept in touch with me to see how my career is progressing. Geoff has provi Read More…
