I genuinely love meeting new people, interviewing candidates, finding out about them and their motivations and whether they will be the right addition to the team. I get to meet some really interesting people and I also love working with the Hiring Managers in the business on strategies to best fill their vacancies. I have learned so much since joining IGO through the project work I get to do and also the ongoing learning and development we have access to. There is a work from anywhere policy, so I have the flexibility to decide how I structure my home and office time and I have the autonomy to do my job and achieve what is required. Oh, and our office is a beautiful place to come to work at every day.

This might not seem like a career-topping achievement to a lot of people, but it meant the absolute world to me. I was a finalist in the 'Inclusion and Care' category at IGO's 2022 Making a Difference Awards. The category I was nominated in is self-explanatory really but what it meant to me was that in a short space of time, I had been able to impact other people and make them feel cared for or valued. I was new to the mining industry when I started at IGO, and although I had so much to learn and felt behind everyone else, very quickly I was made to feel that my professional opinion and expertise in recruitment mattered. I was joining a new industry, a new group of highly skilled professionals, I had so much to learn, and I worked hard. It was a career highlight for me that during such a steep learning curve I was able to positively impact other people.
