Testimonials

What sets Trent apart from every other recruiter I have worked with is his ability to connect, listen, and internalise the business’s macro needs with respect to the role that requires fulfilment. He presents candidates that are not just a keyword percentage match, but those which have the potential to have a strong affinity for the culture within the organisation along with the core skill set required for success.

He is a man of principle who is transparent and honest in all business dealings and provides a highly personalised approach to solve a need that is becoming all too time consuming and difficult with the increased use of AI optimisation and automation in the job market.

You will not regret starting a conversation with him for all your resourcing needs.

I have been working with Trent for a few years now, and he has always delivered high calibre candidates, He has taken the time to learn what is important to me and my organisation and ensure that the candidates that are presented fit the criteria and more importantly fits in the organisation culture. I also appreciated that he would check in regularly with me and the candidate every few months to see how things are progressing and if both sides are getting what is expected. This shows that he values both the company and the candidate. I highly recommend Trent for his personalised method of recruiting.

Working with Trent has been a genuine pleasure. What sets him apart is the effort he puts into understanding our business — how we operate, where we’re headed, and what our priorities actually are. He uses that understanding to surface candidates who are a strong fit for both the role and the team, not just a match against a job description. The quality of the shortlists he puts together reflects how well he listens, and it’s made our hiring process noticeably more efficient and effective. I’d recommend him without hesitation.

“We get approached a lot by recruiters wanting to work with us but we deny them all as we are very happy with the work Trent has done for us. He operates with honesty, and integrity, is thorough in his process and has provided us with quality people which has seen our product and engineering teams grow as we continue to scale. I recommend a chat with Trent if you are looking to scale your team.”

Trent is genuinely one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with. His emphatic approach to understanding what I was looking for when putting together a product and technology team really went a long way in sourcing the best talent I’ve worked with in recent times.

He not only understood the depth of the skills I wanted in each candidate but more importantly understood the values I was looking for. Despite it being the toughest time to find talent, he came through again and again. He also added significant value in the recruitment process, where other agencies left  a lot to be desired.

I highly recommend Trent & Scout-IT — a pleasure to work with!

Trent never fails to deliver. He takes a brief well, understands the business and is tenacious with his sourcing, especially in the highly competitive ecommerce/ digital space. Importantly, Trent is highly communicative so you always know where the recruitment process is at and super transparent, so you understand if there are things you may need to revise throughout. Couldn’t recommend him more highly

Working with Trent as both an employer and a candidate has been a refreshing, fun and unique journey. His passion for finding the right people for roles based on both experience and personality sets him apart from the rest – especially in the current competitive market. Trent is extremely easy to talk to and has expert insight in the tech industry. Trent helped me find my perfect job for a company I love, it doesn’t get much better than that!

I have been fortunate enough to work with Scout IT for a few years and have been able to build a very strong engineering team as a result. Not just software engineers, project management and customer success roles as well.

The real benefit working with Trent is his keen sense of “fit” he knows which candidates are a good match which obviously saves a lot of time and headaches. But more importantly this ensures a long and prosperous tenure.

Good recruiters are hard to find, so I highly recommend taking the time to explain your needs to Trent. As your business grows he’ll be there with the right people to help unlock success.

There are a large number of recruiters that provide you with candidates based on keyword searches. Trent is not one of these. Trent has recruited a number of key roles for me and has found extraordinary value by matching not just peripheral skills but finding candidates who fit our culture and values.  He truly partners with you to find the right fit for your organization, I could not recommend him any more highly.

I’ve worked with numerous agencies and consultants over the years. Trent is one of the most knowledgeable, down to earth and honest consultants I have had the pleasure of partnering with. These are only some of the reasons why I’ve chosen to work with him on numerous occasions, across different businesses. I have the upmost confidence that Trent represents my organisation to the highest degree, while also ensuring candidates receive the same great experience I would expect from my team.

Scout-IT has been crucial in building out our team at Eratos. Trent’s ability to take a brief and present multiple, quality candidates time and time again is uncanny. The amount of time and money I’d have to spend to find the candidates Scout-IT has put forward would be insane. Honest, easy to work with and the only recruiters I’ve ever actually liked. Worth every cent.
