Testimonials

Alex, Alex, Alex - you've been such a gem in supporting me with the job change. I absolutely loved your communication, transparency, and honesty throughout the whole recruitment process (which wasn't easy at all). You've been amazing in connecting with me and understanding what I wanted.  Thank you for being you and helping me to find my new home:)

Alex is one of the rare breeds in recruitment who is consistent, honest and passionate every day she turns up. I've had the pleasure to know Alex a long time and she is definitely one of the best in the R2R space and someone who I value for market advice and balanced perspective. I would highly recommend any consultant or firm to reach out and get to know her.

Alex is the "thinking persons" R2R, I've known her for over 10 years and whole heartedly recommend her. Truthfulness, quirky, moral compass, well connected, quirky (have I mentioned this) are words that spring to mind immediately when I think of her.

I'm delighted to recommend Alex as an exceptional recruiter who I have had the pleasure to work with. Working with Alex has by far been one of the best experiences I have had working with a recruiter. As a person and a professional, Alex stands out for all the right reasons. She is warm, positive, caring, passionate and always has your best interests in mind. Given her experience and extensive knowledge of the recruitment industry, I have learned a lot from working with her. She has always been open and willing to impart her considerable knowledge, which I have really appreciated. 

Alex emphasises building long-term trusted partnerships with the people that she works with, she is very well-connected and it is clear that the companies that she recruits for have a deep level of trust and respect for her and the work that she does. I am grateful for my experience working with her and am certain that there will be more opportunities for us to work together in the future. Without hesitation, I highly recommend partnering with Alex if you are fortunate to have the opportunity to do so.

I highly recommend Alexandra Sorrell. Throughout my experience with Alex, she consistently demonstrated outstanding candidate care, embodying qualities every recruiter should strive for:  

Active Listener: Alex truly listens and remembers your story, strengths, and goals, presenting opportunities she genuinely believes are a perfect fit. 

Consistent Communication: She checks in regularly, even if only to provide a brief update, ensuring you're never left in the dark. Personal Touch: Alex always delivers important updates via phone call, whether the news is good or bad, maintaining a personal connection. 

Strong Reputation: Leveraging her strong reputation and trust with clients, Alex opens doors that might otherwise be closed. 

Supportive: When things don't go as planned, Alex is there to talk it out and help you get back on track. 

Integrity: Above all, Alex acts with integrity, never compromising her values for a paycheck.  

Even though my new role wasn’t through Alex this time, her positive impact on my job-hunting experience was invaluable. If you're seeking recruitment roles, Alex is the ideal partner for your search.

I would highly recommend Alex to any client or candidate.   Alex not only understood which clients I would be the best fit for, she understood my motivations and goals.   

I am a Talent Acquisition and Recruitment professional. I have worked in agency, and internal in both enterprise and start up, and I can safely safely say it is rare to encounter Recruiters with such diligence, care, and understanding for both the candidate and client experience.   

Throughout my job search Alex, not only stuck with me across some disappointing near misses, she acted as a career advisor even when it may not have resulted in the most profitable outcome for herself. Alex showed greater concern for my career and the client getting the best fit and value, than she did her own business interests.   

After a few months of great effort on Alex's behalf we were able to secure the right opportunity for myself, with an employer where I am enabled to add real value.   

Any client in need of talent or candidate looking for their next career move, do use Alex Sorrell, you will be very pleased with personable and professional service.

Working with Alex has been one of those rare career privileges I’ll never take for granted. She’s placed me in not one, but three roles — each time with razor-sharp insight, deep market knowledge, and a level of care that’s genuinely unmatched in recruitment.  

What sets Alex apart isn’t just her ability to spot the right opportunity at exactly the right time — though she does that brilliantly. It’s the way she understands people. Every conversation with her feels like more than a job search — it’s a trusted partnership built on honesty, insight, and shared outcomes.  

She’s strategic, warm, honest, and brings a sense of humour that makes even the stressful moments feel lighter — the kind of recruiter you want in your corner long after the placement is made. Over time, she’s become more than just a recruiter to me: she’s a sounding board, a career ally, and a dear friend. 

 If you get the chance to work with Alex, take it. You’ll want her on your team forever — whether you’re hiring, job-searching, or just needing solid advice.

Alex is a recruiter that invests into her clients. She maintains a high standard of professionalism with a genuine drive to make sure you as the client is completely satisfied with your placement. She is reliable, communicative and beautifully honest.   

Alex has inspired me as a recruiter, I am so grateful of the experience I have had with Alex. She is a pleasure to work with. I have dealt with many recruiters before, once i came across Alex, i realised that this is how recruitment should be done, she is a fantastic representation of how this industry could thrive if there were more recruiters like her.  

Thank you Alex for all of your guidance, advice and hard work!!

What can I say. Alex was an absolute pleasure to work with, from start to finish she was there for me. Multiple debriefs and interview preps, at times way outside of normal operating hours. She really went above and beyond to find the right environment for me.   

She took the time to sit with me and coach/pass on her considerable knowledge so I would be as prepared as possible. Alex took a chance on me and stuck by me and landed me the perfect role with the right environment and culture/leadership.   

I cannot recommend her highly enough, her work ethic and moral compass are on point. You won’t go wrong by placing your trust in her whether as a candidate or a client.   Thank you for all your hard work Alex!

Working with Alexandra was great. She treats you as a friend which makes you feel that she will give you the right information to enable to you to make the correct career choice.  A warm and engaging professional!

Alex is one of the most genuine and real people - and Recruiters - I have ever come across. She is highly efficient, she is purpose and value-driven and honest. From our first call, I felt immediate trust. She asks the right questions, listens and interprets fairly. She made the entire process so transparent, communicating all the time to never make me feel insecure or left wondering what was going on. I would highly recommend Alex as a Recruiter, Talent finder, friend, and mentor!

Recruitment is more than just a numbers game. It's about relationships, being empathetic and genuine in your approach towards everyone you deal with. This has been my experience with Alex and she is also one of the key reasons why I love what I do. There are a lot of recruiters and then there are great recruiters like Alex. I always recommend candidates and clients qualify & partner with an experienced recruiter for their career journey or personnel needs. This is definitely Alex and I would always recommend her.

An amazing Recruiter and expert in Rec to Rec. The process is quite easy as you exactly know that to expect - Alexandra is honest, direct, thorough and it's all about a clear conversation - no wasted time!  

As a candidate, I found Alexandra extremely reliable that puts 200% in everything she does. She makes sure that you are settling in well after few months you started a new employment- I think the best candidate care/follow up I ever experienced from a recruiter! What I like most about her? She truly cares and if you are passionate about recruitment, she inspires you as she loves what she does and believes in her clients. I enjoyed working with Alexandra and with no hesitation I would re-engage her from an employer and candidate perspective.

Alex was the one who never gave up on me when I started my journey to achieve what I have so far in Australia. Most other rec-to-rec's didn't want to put in the time and consideration into helping me when I was in England, planning to come here to Sydney to make a better life for myself. Alex's superior attention to detail and ability to feel my passion and enthusiasm to achieve what I wanted, is second to none. I have a huge amount of respect and appreciation for what she did for me. I had interviews lined up within a week of landing and started my new job within 2 weeks.  

I'd recommend any ambitious recruiter or recruitment company to benefit from Alex's great service.

As a recruiter myself I know how many fools, imbeciles and corner-cutters are out there - Alex is not one of those. Not only does she make the outcome the best possible one for all parties, but she invests herself into the process. By doing this she shows that she cares and I could not recommend her highly enough. If you're looking for quality staff, Alex will find them. If you're looking for quality outcomes, Alex will produce them. Basically if you're looking for quality, look for Alex

I met Alex through a common friend when I was looking for suitable opportunities in Sydney, Australia. A thorough Rec2Rec professional whether finding the right job, keeping us updated on every step, staying in touch from the time of interview until offer (the list goes on. She is also a mentor who clearly understands our strengths and suggests areas of improvement (if any).   An amazing person who embarks positivism and genuinely interested in making people's life better (not just placements). All the best Alex! You are definitely the best.

I have known Alex since 2011. Over the past 5 years, I have found her knowledge of the Australian Recruitment industry second to none. I prefer to partner up with Alex as opposed to going direct; as her cultural, operational and fiscal knowledge of Recruitment businesses at a macro level can be immensely helpful for Agency Recruiters seeking to make well informed decisions. I have also found this knowledge to be of considerable value, whilst deliberating multiple offers.

I would like to highly recommend Alex. Her level of advise, help, professionalism and desire to succeed reminded me of exactly how a recruiter should be. Her approach with me was very personable and accurate to my preferences and strengths, whether I knew it or not. Great to have on your side, and great for her clients. Thanks Alex

Alexandra is an extreemly knowledgable, skilled and competent recruiter.  She is truly a professional and provided me with an excellent service.  Alexandra went over and above, always being available and giving that bit extra in service and assistance.

I was referred to Alex whilst looking for my last position and she was a breath of fresh air for me during what was a stressful time. She understood my skill sets, but what really made her exceptional was her ability to understand my situation, aspirations and values. This meant that she delivered fast results yet somehow ensured that the clients I was put in front of where the right cultural fit for me as well as looking to head in the same direction. I think her ability to deliver was well demonstrated to me by all of the positive feedback I was given on her from the clients themselves!

I was introduced to Alex in 2011. She has been a great mentor since then and very helpful. She is an expert in her subject, always ready to help and guide you in the best direction and excellent coaching and service delivery for candidate and for client. I have heard very good feedback on her amazing work! As a candidate, Alex is able to read you and find the right opportunity and client for you, she is honest in her approach and won' t promise you anything she can' t hold. She always impresses me with her drive and energy! I am very grateful to have met her and to still be in contact with her. Alex, you're a STAR!

I was referred to Alex on arrival to Sydney, and can't say that anyone has instilled me with as much confidence, as quickly as Alex.  A total pro, a pleasure to work with! Thanks Alex!!

Alexandra (Alex) should write a book on how to carry out a proper recruitment process in recruiting recruiters.   

She is very professional. 

She will only brief you on suitable opportunities. 

She makes it her priority to keep you informed every step of the way. She will always make herself available to answer any questions you may have.   

She is an absolute pleasure to deal with!  

I would strongly recommend speaking to Alex if you are a recruiter looking  for a challenging and exciting new role. She definitely found the "dream job" for me!!

Alex’s advice and guidance helped me feel confident about making the move from London to Sydney. She introduced me to my current employers. Alex clearly enjoys her job and is good at it. This recommendation, along with all the others is a testament to that.

I approached Alex after working in the Sydney market for one year and I was really looking for that right next career move.  

My experience with her was very professional and personable. Furthermore I felt extremely reassured by her integrity and capability based on her reputation and knowledge of the market place.  I have no hesitiation in recommending Alex. She is truly a brilliant, tireless and passionate operator on your behalf and a cut above the rest!

I have known Alex Sorrell for nearly 10 years and during that time I have been a candidate of hers (she has placed me in two great roles) and more recently as a client, finding me amazing staff.   Alex is truly adept at knowing her market and this industry.  She is the consummate professional, detailed and extremely honest whilst having great insight to what will really work.  I must say, I have never encountered such a professional as Alex in her space. Alex understands the needs of candidates and the clients she represents whilst ensuring best practice standards, a vigorous approach and integrity is maintained throughout her engagement with you and above all, she never forgets a face or you! 

If you are looking to engage Alex to assist you, then you will be extremely pleased with the very professional way she conducts herself and presents her business.  I couldn’t recommend Alex more.

I was highly recommended to speak to Alex when I was relocating from Hong Kong to Australia. She was paramount in securing me solid interviews with prestigious organizations and well respected Managers within the industry. Time being of the essence, I truly felt I was the priority over everything else. Alex is honest, positive, and direct and always gives concise, constructive preparation and feedback before and after interviews. She will provide you with her expert opinion about your resume and give you helpful hints and tips. Alex is superb and will work with you, rather than being a dictator. I without a shadow of a doubt recommend Alex if you are looking for your next opportunity - you know you will be getting someone with great market information, someone who takes the time to distinguish you as an individual, and a complete understanding of all the firms she works with (including commission structures). I have learnt a lot through this process, coming to a new country does have its ‘own way of doing things’. Alex made me realize this very quickly. Alex can obtain results, and is definitely an all round strong Professional at what she does.

During my career as a recruiter I have worked with a number of Rec 2 Rec Agencies and Consultants to help recruit for my divisions and to help me in my own career moves.  Meeting with Alex this year was a breath of fresh air - it didn't take her long to suss out what I was like as a person, what environment would best suit me and what my best options were - Alex's honest, professional and intuitive approach made working with her a pleasant (and painless!) experience -  She is a also a genuine, fun and down to earth character and knows her clients inside out - why didn't I find you earlier in my career Alex??  

I have no hesitation in recommending Alex to a recruiter looking for the next move, or a company looking for a solid hire. Jason

Being new to the country it was to great meet Alex with her friendly and lively personality. She took time to listen and understand what I was looking for. With her vast experience of the Australian market rather than sending my resume to every available role, she was able to match my skills and experience to suitable clients. Alex guided me through the whole process and gave me her time to meet at any stage if I wished.   Alex has given me some great aftercare service, often catching up to see how I am doing. I highly recommend Alex and know she will be my first point of call in the future.

From the moment I met with Alex, I knew I was in good hands. Alex really took the time to hear what my goals and ambitions were. This, coupled with the solid understanding of her clients, meant she was able to introduce me to companies that I was truly compatible with.   

Alex is honest, straight forward and extremely intuitive. Her fresh, witty and friendly approach made the whole “job hunting” experience enjoyable. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and urged me to think outside the box and open my mind to opportunities I would have otherwise overlooked.   

I am now extremely happy in my new role and hold nothing but gratitude and respect for such a professional woman.

Alex has an ability to understand what one is seeking as a candidate, even when the preferences given to her are quite vague. She is able to read between the lines and selected, for me, only companies that I was compatible with. In short, she's intuitive and and intelligent.   

I cannot recommend Alex highly enough.

Alex has been recruiting for Vantage since we started operations 8 years ago. She has consistently found us great candidates, provided us with professional advice and honest feedback. You can trust Alex to promote your organisation in a professional manner that is consistent with your own values and message to the market and I recommend her to you.

I had the pleasure of working with Alex while searching for a new role in Australia early 2011. Alex presented several opportunities and showed great professionalism and understanding of the business and my requirements. I highly recommend Alex to any other financial service professional seeking representation to secure a new job opportunity.

What impressed me most about my interaction with Alex, was her consultative approach and in-depth knowledge of the clients.  Alex took the time to understand what was important to me, medium to long term, then organised relevant interviews.  Alex is a genuine relationship builder who I have highly recommended to my friends that are considering a career move.

I had the privilege of meeting Alex not long after our arrival in Australia 5 years ago, and she was like a breath of fresh air with her endearing manner, instilling calm in a troublesome time in our lives.  Not only did she show real interest during our meeting, but she also provided excellent after care by staying in touch ever since, with interpersonal contact second to none!  Alex goes about her consulting career in a professional & positve manner, turning her contacts into friends, and always having time to catch up, returning calls promptly if she perhaps was not available.  This alone is so appreciated in today's hectic world where consultants are often perceived in a very different manner, with no after sales service provided at all; let alone returning phone calls.   Alex is consistent, trustworthy and reliable.  These are only a few of her lovely personality traits.  And i'm confident in recommending her to prospective clients who will soon be reassured during their dealings with her, that they have chosen well to partner with her in business.  She goes the extra mile, listens well (a trait long forgotten by so many others), then delivers on her promises . . . she comes highly recommended from me and i guarantee that she is simply the best!

From the moment I walked through the doors at Sorrell, I knew I was in the right hands! Alex had an in-depth and precise understanding of the position, worked with a very high level of professionalism, and managed all my expectancies perfectly for a successful outcome.  

I highly recommend Alex to anyone either looking for work, or companies looking to bring on a Rec to Rec consultant that takes the time to understand your business needs and find the perfect match!  

I couldn't be happier! Thanks Alex!

I would highly recommend Alex and the services she provides. Alex placed me into a contract role during 2010 and was professional, knowledgeable and personable throughout the entire process. Alex took the time to properly brief and prepare me before and after interviews - something I'd never had from another recruiter. She was such a pleasure to deal with.  

As a candidate, I felt that Alex was on my side and working towards a result for both myself and the client, not just the client. Thanks Alex!!

My respect for Alex knows no bounds.  Her intimate knowledge of Sydney's recruitment community is unparalleled... perhaps even intimidating.  She is very clued in and glued to the who's who.  A commercially pragmatic professional she achieves effective results while always remaining ethically orientated.  She needs no positive rap from me as her reputation precedes her, but I'm happy to confirm all the good things you would have heard about Alex are true.

I consider Alex as expert in her field who always delivers on what she promises. From all the rec2rec's out there in the market Alex was one fo the few who clearly understood my requirements for my next role and only presented opportunities that I would be interested in. She is a professional who is a head above her peers and I have no hesitation recommending her to candidates and clients alike.

Alex is one of the most passionate and professional rec to rec consultants I have had the good fortune to work with. She readily provides strategic direction to consultant's careers and has a high level of insight into potential company growth and direction, especially in today’s more volatile market. Alex is a fantastic communicator and will always go that extra mile to guarantee clients and consultants receive an exceptionally high level of service. I would definitely recommend Alex to any client or consultant who requires the use of an efficient and focused rec to rec agent. April 2010

Alex is the best "recruitment recruiter" in Sydney. I was placed by Alex into my role with the Profusion group. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with and knows her sector inside out.   

She went out of her way to ensure a perfect match and smooth process.  Most recently when relocating to the UK, Alex took the time to refer me to the most appropriate contacts in London for which she received no commercial benefit. Further increasing my already sky high opinion of her professionalism and personal approach to business.  

Please do not hesitate in contacting me should you require any additional information.

I recruited Alex to join our start - up Windsor office and from the first day she proved to be an exceptional talent, both as a recruiter of recruiters and also as a client relationship manager.  She was an excellent listener and observer which made her a highly consultative and informative professional for both clients and candidates.  Additionally she has a cracking sense of humour and a pure joy to work alongside, I could not recommend her highly enough and if I could just drag her away from the sun in Sydney I would hire her again in a second.

Alex...what can I say? Alex was instrumental in providing guidance and sound advice when I needed it most. I was impressed (and still am) at the level of service she provides and how this advice is never biased. Alex also has a very 'human' approach to potentially high volume and 'numbers based' industry. This I think is the defining attribute that makes her much better than the rest.  

I was very lucky to have spoken with Alex when I called her office, if I had not, I'd probably being doing another job in an entirely industry. Alex was the driving force behind one of the best career decisions I ever made and I still come to her when I look for informed and intelligent advice.  

I cannot recommed Alex high enough and will continue to use and recommend her professional services to those who need a market professional.
