About Jessica
Jess has spent the last 17 years within the recruitment industry within both agency and internal corporate functions and is currently the Head of TA – ANZ and the Global Head of Talent Sourcing at Toll Group. As an early adopter of recruitment technology, Jess started early in the world of proactive sourcing and thinking about different ways to identify and engage talent, well before the concepts of strategic sourcing had become mainstream. (yes – even before LI was a thing!). Having worked with organisations such as Thales, Cisco, GE, CBA and Toll, Jess has built strategic sourcing functions from scratch which enabled organisations to have significant impact across their talent functions including “talent on tap”, time, quality, and cost, right through to driving the edge on talent analytics, talent intelligence and talent strategy.
