Testimonials
What our clients are saying:
Trina Boylan has been instrumental in securing the right talent for our business over a period of 5 years or more. She is passionate about what she does, committed to securing the right outcome for us, and persistent in tracking down the very best talent for us.
I think the secret to her success is the time she invests in knowing and understanding our business and culture. She views our relationship as long term, not just a short term placement. She invests the time to understand our needs and delivers against a specific brief – she would never just flick CVs through hoping they fit.
I would highly recommend Trina and her business, Boylan & Associates, to any other employer needing the very best talent in the market.
Eugene Varricchio, Group General Manager – Retail Sales, Circulation & Distribution ACP Magazines
Boylan & Associates personal style suited our requirements at Fisher & Paykel. With good quality candidates becoming increasingly difficult to find, combined with non-standard role descriptions we found Boylan & Associates immediately grasped the finer nuances of what was required. They possess an almost uncanny ability to source and qualify high calibre candidates and importantly ensure a good corporate 'fit'.
Peter Russell, National Marketing Manager Fisher & Paykel Australia
This role was one we needed to ensure we obtained the right person to meet our needs. The way you handled the initial meetings & went about making the interview process for F&P to select the right candidate was very effective & made our task easy. We are delighted with choice & very pleased with how the candidate has settled into this important role after only a month in this position. Thanks again for your assistance & support throughout the whole process before, during & after the appointment. F&P will certainly keep Boylan Associates at top of mind for any future job searches we require.

Damian McGee, Team Leader- Pharmacy SA/WA GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare
Trina Boylan is one of the most pro-active and results driven recruiters I have ever dealt with. Trina spends the time to get to know your business and listens to what you are looking for and adds value beyond the traditional partnership. Trina is able to be flexible depending on your requirements and demonstrates an acute understanding of candidate's strengths, weaknesses and intrinsic motivators. I would certainly recommend Boylan and Associates.

Thank you for the fantastic work you do for GSK and your commitment and perseverance to get the right person.
Lara Joscelyne GlaxoSmithKline
I found Trina to be very professional in the way she handled the recruitment of the position and subsequent follow up. Trina invested the time to fully understand the position, the duties and responsibilities of the role and the unique blend of skills and experience a successful candidate would need. She also spent time to understand me and my style, the current team dynamics and what I was looking for from a cultural fit.
Throughout the recruitment process I was kept well informed of exactly what was being done and at what stage Trina was at. Trina was in constant contact to debrief on candidates that were interviewed to ensure the "right" people were being put in front of me and to refine her search if needed. Trina has placed a number of people in my team and contacts them and myself on a regular basis to ensure everything is still on track. I found the recruitment process to be a pleasant and painless one, where I felt that I was always up to speed and wasn't worried about what was happening. If I find myself having to recruit for positions within my team, I wouldn't hesitate in using Boylan and Associates.
Colleen Hinton, National ‘Go To Market’ Manager PepsiCo Australia
We challenged Trina with a very unique brief during the year that involved searching for a candidate that needed both a certain skill set as well as cultural fit for our team. The process was very smooth especially due to the proactive time and effort that was invested in finding out exactly what we were after on both of these fronts. During the process we were kept abreast of all developments including the executive search process as well as the candidate availability. We have been very happy with the quality of candidates, search process and final outcome throughout the recruitment process.

What our candidates are saying:
In the past months Trina Boylan has approached me about 2 positions, one of which I was successful in securing. Both experiences with Trina were of the highest professional standard, Trina took the time to understand what my current work situation was, and what my career goals were going forward. Trina was extremely thorough with all aspects of my recruiting process, and always provided me with confidence with her knowledge of the company’s business and career / employment model. Trina provided me with sound advice throughout both processes and I wouldn't hesitate to seek Trina out at any stage during my career for advice going forward, or to recommend her to colleagues.
… your communication and the way you have dealt with this process has by far been the best I have received when it comes to recruitment agencies. I have been very impressed and your dedication is an asset. Thank you.
I wanted to let you know just how happy I was with your service and guidance recently. Although I wasn’t successful in obtaining the position, your valuable advice and support before, during and after the process needs to be acknowledged as someone prepared to go above and beyond the ‘norm’.
Over the last four years, I have had the pleasure of working with Boylan & Associates for both my own personal recruitment needs and when hiring sales staff. Trina is highly committed to understanding both a client and candidate’s requirements, and she always works to ensure the best possible fit for all parties. I am extremely happy with the staff Trina has helped us recruit and look forward to continuing to use Boylan & Associates in the future. I would highly recommend Boylan & Associates for anyone looking for a professional, dedicated recruitment agency.
I have worked with Trina as both a candidate and client. As a candidate I found Trina to be very thorough, professional and challenging. She understood her client's brief as if it were her own and demonstrated a great depth of knowledge of both the organisation and the industry.
