‘Fiona was professional in her approach, thorough in her process and insightful in her analysis of our context and
the candidate’s capabilities. She delivered an excellent result. I would not hesitate to use Hutton Consulting again.’
‘Fiona is an experienced teacher and leader in high performing schools with a strong interest in being part of the
move to progressive, innovative, 21st century education models while respecting and not losing view of academic
rigour and what should continue to be valued. She is very considered and committed to each school and overall
transformation where it needs to occur.’
‘This has been great feedback. I will go over your suggestions and make some changes. I have found this process particularly useful and affirming, whilst allow me to revise and clarify my thoughts and reflections.’
‘Having the opportunity to discuss a broad range of topics with an experienced leader was beneficial as well as having a coach to challenge one’s thinking. Topics discussed included strategic planning, improving school and staff capacity and establishing a Foundation.’
‘Thank you Fiona, for being such a wonderful source of guidance and support throughout the last few months. You have been so generous with your time and in particular, your thoughtful feedback has enabled me to learn and grow enormously. I want you to know that you’ve had an incredible impact on me as an emerging leader in education and I couldn’t be more grateful for your mentorship.’
‘I thoroughly enjoyed the process. The process was rigorous and I appreciated the feedback.’
Hutton Consulting Australia led the recruitment of a new Business Manager for Kilbreda College. I was extremely happy with the recruitment process from start to finish and would certainly engage them again. The breadth and quality of applicants that they sourced was most impressive and far greater than any number of advertisements would have attracted. Amanda took the time to develop an understanding of not only the role, but also the culture of the College and the type of Business Manager we were seeking. As a result the candidates put forward to the panel for shortlisting were well suited to role not only in terms of their qualifications and experience but also their personal attributes. Hutton’s communication and organisational skills were excellent throughout. The appointment made has been an excellent one for our College and would not have eventuated without Hutton’s leadership of the recruitment process.
Hutton Consulting was an outstanding partner to support the recruitment process for the next leader (principal) of our School. As an independent co-educational School we were keen to talk to a range of high quality candidates. Fiona Hutton and her team gave us that range and made the selection process as smooth as possible, with a sensitivity and care that allowed us to feel like a part of their team. Our thanks to Hutton Consulting for all their support, knowledge and insight into our unique context and for the high level of service that restored my faith in recruitment!
‘ I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful way in which you have shepherded us through what has been a big task for us as Board at Siena in seeking our new Principal. You have been so good to work with, so very thorough in your note-taking and in ensuring that the process was highly professional, considerate of all stakeholders (and angles), appreciative and respectful of all applicants, and very much in tune with what was best for Siena.’
‘It was clear from the beginning that you had a solid understanding of our school and the type of Principal we required. You were excellent throughout the whole recruitment process, with regular communication and updates, the presentation of candidates and the final panel interviews. The quality of the short-listed candidates was of a very high standard, so it was a difficult decision. Your guidance and support helped the Board choose an outstanding Principal.
We were very impressed with your professionalism and the outcome you achieved. I would highly recommend you and your company to anyone requiring executive search and consultancy services.’
“Thank you for taking the time to talk to me about my future career development. It has really helped to clarify my thinking and I appreciate your experienced advice. I thoroughly enjoyed our session.”
“I really valued speaking with Fiona after completing an interview for an executive position with Hutton Consulting. It was the best feedback I have ever had – honest, constructive and encouraging. I now have some concrete strategies to use in my next interview. Fiona also gave me some suggestions to consider that will be very useful in strengthening facets of my own leadership.”
“Thank you so much for your support, encouragement and wise words throughout the last three months. My engagement with you and the whole team at Hutton Consulting has sparked an incredible period of professional growth, which I am certain will continue in my new working environment. I look forward to continuing our professional relationship as I commence my Deputy Principal position at Cornish.”
“Thank you for your support in this process, Fiona. I have never worked with an executive search company before and it was a delightful experience. I’m so excited about the new start and meeting the students.”
“Thank you for taking the time to provide real feedback today, not just, “we had more experienced people apply”. The follow up discussion provided me with something tangible to work with and ways to grow and move forward.”
We recently had the privilege of working with Fiona Hutton when needing to recruit our new Executive Principal, it is a daunting task and carries a heavy burden but after one meeting with Fiona we knew we were in the right hands. We can’t speak more highly of Fiona and her team, she is thoughtful and thorough, professional and has great knowledge and insight and is well respected in the education sector. You can trust Fiona with your school!
‘Fiona’s involvement and leadership of the process from start to end has been most professional. Her attention to detail, flexibility in assisting with all parts of the process, care of the candidates, ability to listen and to distil the needs of the school are exemplary.
Fiona’s understanding of our particular educational context is deep and enables her to find the candidate of best fit. Fiona is unique in this space, providing detailed and personalised feedback to candidates as they progress through the process, offering suggestions for where they can improve future applications.
Her honesty is refreshing, and working closely with her I have observed her to be kind, generous, insightful and transparent.’
