Karen provides resource consulting support and for both temporary and permanent recruitment services to many of The Turner Groups largest corporate clients. She supports the consultants across a diverse range of industries. Karen has over 15 years’ experience as an EA and Senior Administrator in the investment banking and advertising sectors. She relocated to Brisbane in 2013, was referred to us by one of our clients, and we kept her.

Karen is now a pivotal part of the team and manages candidate communication and care. She consults closely with clients and candidates to ensure their needs are met quickly and efficiently.

Karen is a passionate (shall we say fanatical?) sports fan, beats everyone at footy tipping, and actually knows the difference between a ruck and a maul. We might have taken the girl out of Sydney, but she still supports the Parramatta Eels.
