Assignments are managed in a professional and supportive way, with transparency and effective communication from beginning to end. I know that I can trust Saisei Talent to deliver.

candidateAmanda is amazing...
I've worked with Amanda as a client and as a candidate and she is one of the best. What makes her standout is her humane and down to earth approach. She recognises candidates are people not products and treats everyone with respect and decency. (This has not been my experience with all recruitment firms). She is extremely knowledgeable, well networked and very thorough in all she does. She is a joy to work with and would be my first to call!

candidateMore than a recruiter — a true mentor and sounding board
I’ve known Amanda for many years and can honestly say she is one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with. As well as being incredibly friendly and approachable, she has an outstanding depth of knowledge of both the industry and the HR market. Over the years she has been a real support, not just as a recruiter, but as a mentor and trusted sounding board. She always takes the time to listen, offers thoughtful and practical advice, and invariably comes up with insightful nuggets that help sharpen my thinking and strengthen my job search. I’ve always valued her honesty, perspective and genuine commitment to helping people succeed.

Lisa Margolis
candidateAn outstanding experience
I am currently working with Amanda at Saisei Talent and can honestly say that my experience has been exceptional. From the start, Amanda has been engaging and genuinely interested in supporting me to access the right networks and people. She has taken the time, both over the phone and in person, to truly understand what I am looking to achieve in my next role. Amanda is generous with her time, advice and connections and has made enormous efforts to create meaningful introductions for me. Her communication is kind and consistent and for the first time during my process, I feel that someone has my back and is enthusiastic about seeing me succeed.
Amanda is a HR connector
I love working with Amanda as she is dedicated to the cause of bringing HR people together with her events that are timely and informative, collaborating with great industry leaders.
I have been candidate a few times and really appreciate her responsiveness and her ability to share the background that makes the role come to life, even when roles haven't come to an actual placements she has managed my expectations well.
