Stef Gemmill – General Manager, Projects at Equity Trustees
It is essential that our staff members are of the highest calibre. Project staff need to be able to hit the ground running & engage in the business with minimal disruption to our business. Having worked with many recruitment firms I can confidently say that Mat and the Kaizen team offer an unparalleled service based on traditional and thorough recruitment processes which are rarely seen in these times. Kaizen understands our business culture, each position brief presented and has supplied a steady stream of successful candidates to support the Equity Trustees business transformation program.
Shannon Percy – HR Business Partner at IFM Investors
I worked with Kaizen Recruitment during my time IFM Investors. Matt was extremely knowledgeable and professional and always available to give industry updates within the funds management space. He recruited a number of roles for us including – Fund Accountants, Marketing, Sales, Debt Investments, Finance and IT. He provides quality candidates and will only ever send over the top 3 so you know that he backs what he sends. If you are looking for a quality recruiter who knows the funds management industry, Kaizen Recruitment will be able to assist you whether you are a candidate or hiring manager. I have no hesitations recommending Matt and Kaizen Recruitment
Ben McDougall – Operations Manager – Goldman Sachs Asset Management
I used Kaizen Recruitment to fill an associate role in fund services at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Mathew made an effort to spend time with me to understand the role before presenting a diverse range of candidates. Given the quality of candidates presented, it was clear Mathew really listened to my needs and understood the companies culture and values. I would be more than happy to work with Kaizen Recruitment again

I have known Matt for several years and he is without doubt one of the most well-connected and resourceful recruiters in the industry. He not only has a great base of contacts but also operates in a very open and personable way. Matt’s approach is to understand personality and skills of a candidate to quickly identify vacancies that suit that person most. He has done a great job in keeping in touch with updates and providing feedbacks. Very good, well rounded, personal service!

Guy Young – Client Service Associate at Western Asset Management
You want to use these guys. For Matt and the team at Kaizen, recruitment is a two-way street. The team doesn’t just ensure the candidate suits the role, but that the role suits the candidate. Matt went above and beyond in searching for a role that I was interested in, not simply one that he thought I could fill. To top things off, Kaizen has unparalleled access to some of the most reputable firms in the industry. If you’re looking to crack into or shift within the finance industry, they’re the firm you want to talk to.
Sam Hunter – Business Development Associate at Franklin Templeton Investments
I had the pleasure of working with Matt recently. The difference I found with Matt and Kaizen when compared to other recruiters was his knowledge about the companies and the individual roles and the time he takes to get to know you and build long term relationships. I look forward to further building a relationship with Matt and Kaizen throughout my career.
Philip Cheong – Risk Analyst at Victorian Funds Management Corporation
Matt is a highly knowledgeable and proficient recruiter, and my experience working with him was fantastic. Throughout the recruitment process, he was very supportive, honest and open with his communication, along with offering helpful feedback, advice and insight. I would recommend Matt’s services to any candidate in the financial services industry wanting to take the next step in their career.
Rochi Pamamull – Senior Funds Management Business Analyst at Vanguard
Mathew is a great recruitment agent. I have had an ongoing professional relationship with him and Kaizen since the start of my career.
