Testimonials
Tony has been a true inspiration since I came to Australia. He has been there and helped me through every step from applying, through job interviews and my job. I truly recommend migrants to use his services as they are all 100% worth it. I wish to say thank you to you again.

I wanted to write to you for some time and let you know how helpful the workshops and your advice has been ... the CV you did for me was instrumental in getting the interviews

... [I] consulted with you about my situation this morning after the rewarding workshop ... Having being here only four days, I find myself having too much to learn about the city, the culture as well as the workplace norms ... Nevertheless, I am lucky enough to be able to participate ... and to get access to your great advice and help

It gives me great pleasure to be in a position to provide an endorsement for Tony, for care, understanding, enthusiasm and dedication over and above the requirements of any duty statement.
Tony’s dynamic personality and overwhelming desire to help people came to my notice first hand, when I submitted an application as a candidate for a position for which Tony was managing the selection process
Tony recognised that I was burning the candle at both ends, working 1 fulltime job plus 2 part-time jobs as well as being a parent. Without obligation he was very forthcoming in providing me with career direction and options which have allowed me to pursue other positive avenues.
He was able to develop a personal strategy and provide some support mechanisms that have allowed me to have some continuity of income reducing my reliance on working additional jobs. My wife's long term condition has previously been an affecting influence on my personal family situation. Now Tony has helped me position myself such that I have the time and means to support and enjoy a family lifestyle.
I could only imagine a better life prior to my fortuitous meeting with Tony and I am now able to see "the light at the end of the tunnel."
My self esteem and confidence has dramatically improved through Tony's dedication to his role. His genuine empathy and understanding of the importance for the people aspect of vocational employment prospects has been invaluable to me.
I would strongly offer my personal endorsement and that of my family in that Tony is well placed to provide a real contribution in those areas where the community sees a need.

Thought it good to let you know, I found permanent employment with ... Not sure if you can remember me, the South African that attended your day workshops.
... I landed a very good position as Project Manager with ..., in their Asset Management Dept developing projects from concept to financial sign-off and then handing it over to a delivery project manager. ... Till this day I had not been able to secure a 1st interview meeting with any of the major retailers, neither food, clothing or other industry players. Mind boggling.
Anyway, thanks again for the pointers and ideas you planted through the workshops. The networking with every possible opportunity is important for sure, mine that opened the right doors at the end of the day was via my local Uniting Church community where we as a family got involved since landing here.
It's tough times out there for migrants at this stage with the economic meltdown, I really hope the Australian Government and people do not forget that migrants helped for the last 7-12 years build the strong economy and do not cut them out now to ensure a popular vote in the short term.
As this town and industry is of compact format, I am sure we will meet again sometime in the future.
Best Wishes and Kind Regards

It is my pleasure to write this letter for two reasons. After attending the seminar you addressed last Thursday, I rang a word-of-mouth employment opportunity … gained an interview the next day … was included as a late entry and received the phone call on the Saturday evening confirming that I was the successful candidate from a short list of eleven; it was a list of ten before I phoned. I have accepted the position, of course, and this week I commence a permanent casual position working four days a week.
I would not have phoned without being buoyed by your professional and inspirational presentation. I have been working ad hoc for three years, always trying to get a permanent job to no avail. It is not my childhood dream of being a commercial airline pilot, but at age 56 years I have let other ambitions replace that.
I devalued myself for too long, to the detriment of quite a chunk of my ego, and your ability and experience to expose the truth about employer strategies as well as many invaluable tips on presentation, awareness, interviews, and especially to market myself in different ways, made me rediscover the tools I always had to succeed.
I feel like a born-again employee, but it was always there. Thank you for making me realise it, and I am sure the worth of those few hours will be used again and again in the future.

I was employed for 10 years by Detroit Engine and Turbine Company (DETCO) as Group Manager Human Resources and a member of the Executive Committee. DETCO had 25 operational sites around Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and Vietnam with a total staff of 750-800.
We selected Tony (whilst a consultant with another firm) as our recruitment consultant to undertake our employment of salaried staff and some other specialised positions. In addition he arranged various courses and advanced Management techniques for us. DETCO requested that Tony be appointed as the one person that we would deal with at all times - I was the DETCO control person.
Tony and I had a close working relationship as he had to be aware of our plans, budgets and operating parameters. In addition Tony visited all our major Branches and became acquainted with all our Executive Committee and State Senior operating staff.
We were comfortable to discuss all aspects of our business with Tony and relied on his comments and judgements to enable our objectives to be realised. All our dealings were controlled and monitored by Tony.
I have no hesitation in recommending Tony to any client as I am convinced that his abilities and knowledge will be of great assistance to that organisation.

Tony has assisted me with recruitment issues for the past 4 years. He has been instrumental in finding us Research Engineers and Economists with specialised backgrounds from Australia and overseas. He has been instrumental in finding a ... This particular appointment required a great amount of tact and strict confidence, which was satisfied at all times.
Tony makes a point of familiarising himself with a client’s business to ensure a good fit with the new employee. He is always ready to make personal calls at short notice. He takes care of the initial interviews and any travel arrangements, taking the stress out of recruiting.
Tony has at all times handled all situations very professionally, but still managed to retain a friendly human interface. It is his personal commitment and friendly touch that makes him different from the big recruitment companies.
I have no hesitation in recommending him.

I am writing in reference to the Mature Aged Forum in which Tony Hancock facilitated. The training was targeted to assist Mature Aged people in gaining employment.
I found Tony to have a great ability in building rapport with all that participated, while encouraging a friendly learning environment that made people feel very comfortable. The forum flowed and covered a lot of topics that are relevant in gaining employment. Tony also addressed individual barriers and how to overcome their own perception into why they are not employed.
I believe the training that Tony offered would have assisted everyone that attended in setting new goals or looking into new opportunities.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss the training please feel free to contact me.

Unlike so many other recruiting organizations, it is refreshing to be able to communicate freely, honestly and regularly with you. Most of all, you always respond to calls and other correspondence, even if the news is not good; that is really appreciated.
As you know I have been on both sides of the fence, employee and employer and I believe you have found that ideal balance between loyalty to potential employee and employer, and as a result both will always benefit.
Thank you.
