Our Team

Michelle Walker

Founder and Managing Director

Michelle Walker loves people.  More than that, she loves connecting people.  She gets a real buzz out of it – whether it’s finding the right person for the job, or turning strangers into friends and business associates.  So it’s no wonder she is one of the most successful recruitment specialists in Australia.

Michelle’s parents emigrated to Sydney in 1977, settling in the Eastern Suburbs, opening and running the iconic Ruski’s Deli.  Working there on the weekends is no doubt where Michelle learned the people skills she is renowned for.

After receiving a BA in Communication (Public Communication) from Western Sydney University, and an MA in Media in Practice at the University of Sydney, Michelle gravitated naturally to recruitment.

Nearly 20 years later, she is still connecting people with jobs, and jobs with people.  And loving every minute of it.

The mother of three gorgeous girls, Michelle believes in setting an example, both for girls growing up and young women starting out in business.
