Formed with an underlying goal of creating a truly ethical agency, providing a valued service to our client base; to instil confidence in the market once again. We are the best example of recruiters whom remain operational with integrity and honesty at the nucleus of their work. Definitive consultants strive to retain everybody's interests close by and base all decisions and action taken, with the above in mind.

Once plans were confirmed and announced for our company, Definitive opened doors earlier than anticipated. Client demand demonstrates we are doing something right, whilst client retention and repeat business confirms we continue to do so everyday.

Principal Consultant

Extech

(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)

February 1998 — September 2005 (7 years 8 months)

Joined Extech as their most junior level recruiter ; a raw Trainee. Within 6 months, I made Consultant and went on to double my revenue year on year to become the highest billing consultant for my remaining years of employment. I parted company as a 'Principal Consultant' and their most successful Account Manager to date, primarily working the SME and Corporate Enterprise IT markets.
I learned my trade entirely by grafting and making mistakes. All Extech consultants were entirely responsible for Lead Generation, Business Development and subsequent Account Opening and Management, Retention and Consulting. Individual responsibility for 'cradle to grave' (advertising, admin, resourcing, interviewing, submittals, hand holding and after sales). I value the time spent at Extech and believe it made me a well rounded Recruiter. From what I understand, a rare breed now. Extech consultants possess mass experience of managing the complete recruitment life cycle.
