THE PERSON BEHIND THE PROFILE

Meet Laura

I’m Laura, founder of ElevateOne Recruitment, with more than 15 years’ experience in recruitment. I work with privately owned SMEs across Perth, recruiting administration, operations, executive support, accounting and professional roles. I particularly enjoy working with businesses where getting the right person matters — not just someone who can technically do the job. As a solo recruiter, if you choose to work with me, you actually work with me. I take the time to understand your business, your team and what makes someone genuinely right for the role. My approach is personal, straightforward and relationship-led. No recruitment theatre, no disappearing once the placement is made, and no trying to squeeze every client into the same process. Just good recruitment, done properly.

Specialisms & experience

Thorough Screening, Relevant to the Role

Every candidate I represent goes through a structured screening and interview process. I look beyond what’s written on a CV to understand their experience, capabilities, motivations, career goals and what they’re looking for in their next employer. I also explore the practical details that can make or break a placement — salary expectations, availability, reasons for leaving previous roles and any potential concerns or gaps that need further discussion. Reference checks are conducted as part of the recruitment process (if requested), with additional checks such as working rights, qualifications, licences, police clearances or other role-specific requirements completed or verified where relevant. Most importantly, I’m assessing fit throughout the process — not only whether someone can do the job, but whether they’re likely to work well within your business and team.

A Partnership Approach to Recruitment

I work as an extension of your business, not just a recruiter you call when you have a vacancy. It starts with understanding the bigger picture — your business, your team, why the role exists, what hasn’t worked before and what the right person needs to bring beyond what’s written in the job description. From there, I run the recruitment process personally from start to finish. I’m selective about who I put forward, communicate openly throughout the process and give you genuine advice, even when that means challenging the brief or having a difficult conversation. My aim isn’t just to make a placement. It’s to become a trusted recruitment partner who understands your business well enough to make better hiring decisions with you over the long term.
