What Our Clients Are Saying

Testimonials

John is a very smart guy who knows the technology market well. He has a real eye for high-quality talent and knows how to find them and stay in touch with them. Plus he is really easy to talk to and takes the time to understand people.

Unlike many other recruiters, John actually knows what he's talking about and you can rely on his recommendations. I recommend John as a client and candidate. You can't do better.

Murray Robinson

Digital Program Director and Ways of Working expert

I have known John for many years and have received work through his agency. As far as recruiters go, John is a straight talker and what he promises, he will deliver. Your organisation will be in good hands for your recruitment needs if you decide to put your trust into John's hands.

Reinhold Quillen

Chatbot & Mobile Apps Team Lead

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah-Jane Stratford during my job search, and her support was invaluable in helping me secure a position.

Sarah-Jane is a highly professional and dedicated recruiter who genuinely cares about her candidates. She took the time to understand my skills, experience, and career goals, and her insights were instrumental in guiding me through the job application process.

Luiz Alves

IT Professional

I have been Saltworth's candidate on few engagements and John has been my key point of contact. John's negotiation and willingness to find answers/solutions and middle ground path to issues is exemplary. Always with a bright smile and a very enthusiastic demeanor - John is a mentor and a recruiter combined in one.

Highly recommend Saltworth for your next IT engagements.

Peter Vats

Project and Program Manager.

spoke with John Knight when I came to Australia. He asked me what I wanted to do, assessed my skill level and then promoted me (like a proper agent) to prospective employers. He is very easy to talk to and he gave me lot's of confidence during his briefing sessions prior to my interviews.

Thank you John for pressing on my behalf and landing me my first job in Australia! As a confidant and agent, I would highly recommend John. When deciding to make a switch, he'll be my first call before I do anything!
