This week we are having a chat to Ollie, who is an absolute weapon on our Sub-contractors desk. A Crystal Palace F.C. fan, Ollie fled the grey skies of London to some-what (slightly) less grey Melbourne.
Arguably the most organised Consultant at Fetch (and possibly Melbourne), Ollie is witty and wicked clever, and is always willing to go the extra mile to help out his colleagues, clients and candidates. We are very lucky to have him!
Name: Ollie Ballard
Position: Consultant
Time in role: Since October 2018
As with most people recruiting here in Australia I started in the UK. Unlike most people recruiting here in Australia I have close to 6 years experience, (I joke of course). I have specialised in building services since 2013, it’s a small market but an area I really enjoy nonetheless
Having come from a much bigger business it was nice leaving the weekly KPI’s behind; giving me the opportunity to work how I want
We are not all wide boy salesmen, some of us actually care about your career rather than thinking of the dollar bills
