“It gives me great pleasure to write the business reference for KE Select. I have worked with Kerry McMahon for 5+ years on all levels of recruitment for Beckman Coulter, including Senior Executive Search projects. Beckman Coulter is in the Diagnostics, Life Science sector, some of our positions can only be sourced from a very niche market. I have always found Kerry exceptional in sourcing the right candidates in every role that we have placed with her. I have no hesitation in recommending the services of KE Select.”

Pamela Youngman, HR Manager ANZ Beckman Coulter

“It is my absolute pleasure to give this recommendation, as I have truly valued KE Select as a Recruitment partner. Kerry is the most genuine recruiter I have ever worked with. Her ability to build great working relationships so quickly is no doubt the reason why Kerry is so successful in networking. Kerry makes it her business to understand her client's needs; with the view of sourcing quality candidates who not only exceed the KSC's for the role but more importantly have the personal attributes and outlook that we, as an organisation, deeply value. Her consideration of culture and team fit is also highly regarded. Thank you Kerry for your support over these last few years. Wishing you much continued success and happiness”

Denise Porter-Dewar, HR Business Partner Merck Life Science ANZ

“I have worked with Kerry across multiple organisations over the last 15 years and have always appreciated a number of aspects of how Kerry operates. She is urgent, she is accurate, she is a delight to deal with, she takes her time to understand what we are trying to find and then supplies candidates who are suitable to the role. If she is not sure she does not just forward the candidate but again takes the time to discuss any issues and resolve appropriately. The Life Science sector is somewhat niche with many idiosyncrasies and Kerry is a proven consistent judge of applicable talent saving us much wasted time. Over the years Kerry has proven to be flexible with her approach and her value proposition and this is much appreciated. I would have no hesitation recommending Kerry to others and plan to continue to use her services.”

Matt Banfield, Area Head of Sales – East Asia Pacific Eppendorf

“Kerry was a delight to work with. Highly motivated, direct, quick to understand the brief and responsive to feedback during our search for a clinical trials lead position at our Australian subsidiary. She worked efficiently and was quickly able to quickly shortlist some outstanding candidates, leaving us with a difficult choice on the last two - a good outcome for a search. I can recommend her without reservation!”

Matt Cooper, CEO Inflazome

“KE Select Executive came highly recommended by a fellow Senior Manager at Candela, which is how I came to first work with Kerry McMahon. Her consistent delivery of exceptional quality service paired with considered insights and recommendations has seen her become an integrated strategic business partner for Candela. Kerry and the team have since worked with Candela on many recruitment projects, including recruitment for Executive/Senior Management roles as well as roles within the Clinical, Marketing and Operations teams in Australia and New Zealand. Kerry has performed a remarkable job at every level of her service. She is quick to understand our needs, extremely dynamic and hard working. She is passionate and has the ability to deliver what is in the best interests of both Candela and her candidates. Kerry has played an instrumental part in helping us build a high performing team and we forsee our partnership continuing to only grow stronger in the future. ”
