“My experience with David Young and Freshwater Group has been by far the best I’ve had with any recruiters. You have made the experience of finding the right job enjoyable and was very present each step of the way. Even after starting my new job you stayed in touch which I have not had happen and made me feel that there was genuine care about how it was all going. I know if I decide to move on from current career I’d 100% be contacting yourself for help as I know that through your assistance I will be able to find the right job suited for me.”

David is without exception the best recruiter I've worked with. He found me via LinkedIn and supported me all the way to job offer and beyond into employment. He knew the recruiting company, the team, culture and role to such a high level I felt like I was talking directly with the company. He never once came across as pushy or sales like and simply guided, supported and informed with top professionalism, skill and the human touch.

“Very professional and always a great conversation with David. David provided good advice and was very polite.”

“Having to know David is one of the turning point in my life. His professionalism, sincerity, willingness to go above and beyond to assist you throughout the whole process is just impressive. The advices he provided are very valuable, I've learnt a lot from him and also get to know myself better in the process. Definitely recommend Freshwater Group, top notch!!”

“David was highly professional. Unlike other recruiters he takes his time to give a genuine feedback on your profile. Very helpful.”

I have nothing but good feedback . David was very helpful and successful at finding me a job . The whole process was made very easy and simple . David even checked in a few times to make sure I had settled in well and that I was happy in my work environment.

I had a perfect experience with Freshwater Group. David Young's job was different from any other recruiter that I had seen previously. I went through the process smoothly and easily with David's professional manner of being available and ready to answer my questions any time.

I was contacted by the Freshwater group about a new exciting position. David and the team were supportive and extremely professional. Their guidance and tips helped me with my confidence and I was successful in my application. David has followed up and made sure I am happy and all is going well. I strongly recommend the Freshwater Group.

“Highly recommended. Exceptional service and engagement with David from start to finish. David's professionalism as representative of Freshwater Group and energy sector clients spoke volumes in terms of service, connection and engagement. Stand out and exceptional service all round.”

The Freshwater Group approached me about an executive role. The employer was an international group in the process of establishing Australian operations, which made for a complex search process. David and his team steered me through everything expertly. Importantly, they empowered me by providing all the information I needed about the company and the role.

Highly recommended. Excellent processes and engagement with David at Freshwater Group. David is professional, transparent and has a good eye on recruiting quality talent in a complex energy industry. Thank you.

David is the ultimate executive recruitment professional. He approached me about a role he had and although my background is in financial markets and I never would have considered applying for such a role, he identified that my network, experience and skills would be well suited to the role. Throughout the process his insight into the energy sector, guidance, support and transparency were invaluable and like nothing I have experienced before when going through a recruitment process. Although selection for the position has been deferred indefinitely, David has still kept in touch with me. I would highly recommend engaging with David and his team.

David provided outstanding service from the outset. He was professional, prompt, reliable, friendly, respectful...the list goes on. I thank him for his assistance in placing me in my new role, and would strongly encourage others to utilise his services.

Freshwater Group is highly professional and I had a nice experience with them. They follow systematic skills evaluation techniques and provide personalized feedback throughout the process. It was good working with Anna and she's very helpful and supportive in nature.

My experience with Freshwater Group has been great. Anna Carolina Santos was really helpful in getting me through the recruitment process and was always responsive and prudent in her replies every time I had a question. In the end, it was really hard for me to turn down the offer especially after having such a great relation with Anna. I highly recommend Freshwater Group.

David's clear communication, knowledge of the industry and ability to understand my career progression made the recruitment process one of the best I've had. At no stage did I feel I was being sold to or pushed for a role that didn't fit my skillset. I was well prepared for each interview stage with my potential employer and genuinely felt that David was pushing for a win-win outcome. Thank you to David and the Freshwater Group.

I have dealt with many recruiters in my time. Freshwater is by far the best experience I have ever had. Always prompt with any questions I had and extremely professional. You are not treated like a number like many other recruiters. I would recommend Freshwater to any business in the energy sector.

I have been in the workforce professionally since 2007 and have dealt with countless recruiting agencies and will wholeheartedly say David and Freshwater are head and shoulders above the rest. Very professional and thorough, right from his initial approach. Knows what he is talking about, doesn't up sell. Although I was ultimately unsuccessful, he had flagged well before that it could have been an issue. Very insightful, highly recommended.

David is a great operator in the recruitment field. His level of professionalism, communication and attention to detail were second to none when compared to my other recruitment experiences.

My experience with David was exceptional. The use of Skype for interviews, profile testing and timely feedback was very efficient. I'd like to thank David for his assistance in the whole process.

David and Morgan from the Freshwater Group recruited me for my current position at Redback Technologies. I found them both very professional and friendly to deal with, and it was great doing an interview over Skype as we were in different cities. David helped me through the process, including after I had started in the new position. I'd highly recommend Freshwater, David and Morgan.

Excellent and very professional recruitment agent with a pleasant team of people.

I found the team at Freshwater Group to be very professional in all aspects pertinent to proactive recruitment. They have excellent insights across emerging industries and are building relevant contacts to match their target markets. At the same time, their humble nature has earned my respect as they draw a clear line about what they don't know and are happy to call that out rather than speculate with incorrect or false information. I would consider Freshwater Group for an effective, nimble and ethical search firm.

I appreciate the care and thoroughness shown to me during the process. I'm impressed with your company, the way it conducts business, and it was a pleasure talking to you. Please kindly pass my gratitude to the rest of the team.

I had the opportunity to work with David and his team earlier in the year and found their professionalism and attention to detail to be well above par in terms of recruitment services in Australia. At all times during the recruitment process I was well informed of the status of my application via strong communication from the team. I wouldn't hesitate engaging with Freshwater Group again, should the opportunity arise.

I had a positive experience working with Freshwater Group after applying for a role through LinkedIn. Morgan was particularly diligent and professional. I felt she was a genuine agent for Freshwater and for the company she was recruiting for. She kept communication lines open and seemed very honest about the situation with active assurance through the process. Meeting David was a pleasure. He was very thorough in giving background information on his client and retrieving information for his client to get the best picture. Though initially a little intimidating, the personality assessment taken before the interview is a very enlightening and valuable tool for gaining genuine applicants. Though I was not successful in the role, I believe Morgan and David acted professionally and with empathy. I would recommend this team for gaining quality work.

First and foremost you guys are truly professional and set very much apart from my experience with other recruiters. Superb!

As GM of a start up organization, I found David Young’s approach fresh and very thoughtful. His attention to service and details provided us with excellent candidates. He’s been a partner in hiring and also in the business.

David has redefined executive search in my eyes. Prior to utilising services from the Freshwater Group, in previous companies, the hiring of recruitment consultants rendered high fees and low quality deliverables. David, in contrast, takes his job personally, providing significant care in each engagement and delivering to a standard few hold themselves accountable to.
