Meet Anita
I’ve been working in recruitment for almost 30 years and founded Sense Recruitment in Perth in 2007. I still love what I do, especially meeting people, hearing their stories and making connections that genuinely work for both sides. Over the years I’ve recruited across Technology, Corporate and Executive roles and built a pretty extensive network across WA. I also have a long memory for people, companies and projects, mention a name or something that happened in the Perth market years ago and there’s a good chance I’ll remember it! I’m straightforward, I know my market and I genuinely care about doing a good job. Recruitment has changed enormously over the years, but I still believe the best outcomes come from listening, understanding what people really need and bringing the right people together. If I can help with your next hire, your next career move, or even just some insight into the WA market, please reach out. I’m always happy to have a conversation.
Specialisms & experience
I recruit across permanent, contract, fixed-term and temporary positions, from individual specialist hires through to building entire project and transformation teams. I also provide executive search for senior and leadership appointments, as well as contractor payroll services for organisations that have identified their own people but need someone to manage their engagement.
My recruitment covers Technology, Corporate and Executive roles across Western Australia, with particular experience across resources, energy, utilities, government, higher education and the not-for-profit sector. Whether it’s one difficult-to-find specialist, an urgent contractor, a senior appointment or multiple people for a new project, I can tailor the recruitment approach to what the organisation actually needs.
Every candidate I represent has been personally interviewed and assessed for their experience, capability, motivation and fit for the role. I also take the time to understand what they are looking for, why they are considering a move and whether the opportunity genuinely aligns with their expectations.
Depending on the role and employer requirements, our screening can include reference checks, right-to-work verification, qualification and licence checks, National Police Clearances, Working with Children Checks, VEVO checks and other role-specific pre-employment requirements. For contractors, we also manage the onboarding and ongoing compliance process, including employment documentation, insurances, payroll and relevant workplace health and safety requirements. Where a client has their own screening or compliance standards, we work within those requirements as part of the recruitment process.
I like to work as a genuine recruitment partner, not simply take a job brief and send CVs. I take the time to understand the role, the team, the culture and what success will actually look like, so I can represent the opportunity properly in the market.
I’m proactive in my approach and rely heavily on the networks I’ve built over almost 30 years in recruitment. Often the right person isn’t actively looking or applying for jobs, so I’ll reach out to people I know, people I’ve worked with before and those I believe could be a great fit. I’m also very straightforward. I’ll give you honest market feedback, tell you if I think something may make a role difficult to fill and keep you informed throughout the process. My aim is always the same, to find someone who is genuinely right for the role and the organisation, not just someone who looks good on paper.
