Hey, I’m Laura!
Working in the fields of Recruitment and HR since 2006. Teaching Yoga and Meditation since 2016.
HopesConsult was born in 2018 out of my love for best practice within Recruitment and HR, in both Agency environments and corporate Talent Acquisition and HR Functions.
Over the past few years I have had the pleasure of training and developing Recruitment Consultants within some of Australia’s most coveted Agencies and providing operational and strategic advice to Business Owners. More recently I have also taken on the challenge of working closely with organisations to design epic Employee LifeCycles and help build HR/Talent Acquisition functions.
I have dedicated my career to developing world class recruitment standards and challenging the status quo of outdated practices. I love working with people and am just as passionate today as I was in my first candidate interview many moons ago.
In 2015 I took a deep dive into the science behind yoga and meditation, and love to throw this offering into the mix to enhance corporate wellness programs and offerings.
