Writing a book and having a vast network of personal connections is well and good but nothing is more important than results. Here’s just some of the feedback we’ve received at Arete Executive over the years...
Executive Recruitment
I’ve known Richard Triggs for a number of years, and had the opportunity to engage Arete Executive. The role was General Manager – Franchise Operations, a critical member of my executive leadership team. Arete were able to deliver six strong candidates within 20 working days, that I subsequently interviewed. This resulted in us securing not only a new General Manager, but also having a “bank” of talent for another senior vacancy coming up in our team, at no additional cost. Arete delivered a great result and I would certainly recommend them to other organisations.
Former Chief Executive Officer, Lenard’s Pty Ltd Bruce MyersArete has recruited three roles for ReNu Energy over the past 12 months using the Headhunted Shortlist solution. Arete was great in taking the time to work through and understand our organisational needs and the ideal candidate requirements. The list of candidates presented was right on brief, making the interviewing and selection process efficient and easy and providing us with further candidates to come back to as the business grows. This service presents great value and we will continue to use it.

I first came into contact with Richard Triggs when I left my role as a CEO with my last employer. Using techniques that Richard showed me in LinkedIn and more generally in my job search, I was able to make myself stand out for the quality candidate that I believed I was. I fairly rapidly secured the senior role I was seeking with a great company and people who I love working with and for. Thanks Richard for your clarity and excellent presentation of these key skills!
