Susie is proud to have partnered with the following organisations
Susie’s passion is to deliver a more value driven model. She set up Addison to provide a more enhanced client and candidate experience and challenge how executive search and recruitment has traditionally been delivered. Her industry experience in Marketing, combined with her strong work ethic and passion for the executive recruitment and search industry, allows her to understand the specific requirements of her clients and candidates.
Susie is immersed in the current thinking of the essential customer functions by continually engaging with top talent from a diverse range of sectors and across multiple markets and geographies. She prides herself on integrity and professionalism and places a high priority on relationships and driving commercial results. She will take the time to get to know her ‘partners’ and unravel the best solution to bring the most value.
Melbourne's loss is Dublin's gain! Susie is one of the best in the business, and will be sorely missed in the Melbourne market. She has a reputation with candidates and clients alike for understanding the true requirements of Change Management positions, and is honest and perceptive when scoping a role and assessing likely candidate fit. As a candidate, I have found Susie's insights into roles invaluable. She assesses not only the role requirements, but also understands different types of business change (strategic vs. operational, incremental vs. step change), corporate culture, stakeholder requirements, organisational design requirements, and delivery requirements (including change readiness activities, communications, learning and development) and will work patiently, but tirelessly to find the right "fit" for both the candidate and the employer. She is that rare combination of someone who is both a consummate professional, and also delightful to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending Susie to candidates and employers alike.

Consultant – Transformation, Change, Communications, Leadership, Coaching, Stakeholder Engagement
Susie was my go-to recruiter for any change management requirements I needed, regardless of the business I was working in. She had a fresh, honest and knowledgeable approach to recruitment and always delivered a high quality candidate that fitted the culture and the team in which I was working. I had a the pleasure dealing with Susie as both a client and a candidate, and somehow she seems to keep both sides of the equation happy - not always an easy task. She was one of the few recruiters in the early days of change management who sought to understand the field, and determine the difference and the needs of various types of change (cultural, technical, process etc). I definitely miss having Susie in the Melbourne market!
Jo Billing
Director and Co-CEO, Jost and Co.
I have known Susie since 2015 and in that time, she has been a friend, a resource and someone I can trust implicitly to give me direct and honest feedback. Susie is a rare individual that has the ability to build strong friendships in a very short space of time and this is an incredible gift, given the career that she pursues. Her boundless energy and positivity, her emotional intelligence and her integrity means that Susie is someone who people seek out and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Director Clients and Markets, BDO
I have had the pleasure of working with Susie over the past three years on key strategic hires and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Susie brings a unique, professional and in-depth executive recruitment offering, going over and above every time. Her ability to understand a brief and match talent accordingly is second to none. She has also been a fantastic support throughout each recruitment process from start to finish.
