Serving Up: Jess Wilcocks

An Appetiser

I have worked within both internal and agency recruitment and have worked within the media industry in TV/Radio.
I have worked in recruitment for 5 years and within that 5 year period recruited for Federal Government and most recently for NSW State Government where my team is a top 10 supplier for NSW Health and a significant supplier to the majority of NSW departments


My Secret Sauce

My candidates tell me that I always have their best interest in heart and can help them find the right role. I’m good at helping match my candidates with my clients requirements. I am professional but always friendly and bubbly and love a good chat and getting to know my candidates and clients on a personal level as well as a professional level, because of this I am able to understanding more then what is on a CV and if they will fit into the team.

I love working in communications and policy recruitment because its an area I find incredibly interesting, having worked in media it’ll always be my first love but having lived in Canberra I have an interest in politics and policy and how that is created. By taking a keen interest in what my candidates and clients do it helps me to better understand the requirements of the roles.

What my customers
say about me

"Jess is an amazing ambassador for your company. From the first time I spoke with Jess, and right through the whole recruitment process, she has been positive, enthusiastic, highly professional and so proactive. She has a wealth of recruitment experience and knowledge, which she will readily share with you. It's been a wonderful experience for me being able to work with Jess in relation to the application for my recent position. She's definitely a rare find in your industry and I can see why you have her with your team because she certainly 'raises the bar and provides and exceptional recruitment experience'. Thank you Jess, very greatly appreciated."

"Jess is fantastic. She has been ultra helpful and processed my new role expediently. She followed up regularly and has a bright and engaging personality. I’m very pleased with her efforts and look forward to continuing my working relationship with her."

"Jess is probably my favourite recruiter of all time. I’ve been doing this for 15years and she has been so lovely to deal with. We clicked instantly and I genuinely felt she had my best interests at heart in securing the position I wanted. She was efficient in getting back to me and was a great, friendly communicator! Can’t thank her enough!"

"Jess has been a pleasure to work with and given me some great advice as well as lots of confidence boosting chats! I’ve had such terrible experiences with recruiters over the past few months and Jess was only one of two that ever got back to me or checked in. I’m really glad that I’m going to continue with TRC on my next contract!"

"With a long history of business with recruitment firms, both advertising positions and as an applicant - I must state how refreshing it was communicating with Jessica. Jessica was always professional, well organised and genuine. I understand the fast paced nature of the position, however Jessica took the time to ensure I was well informed and supported through the entire process. I only wish all recruiters could engage with their clients in this manner."
