Daniel Dent
few years ago, I realised I needed a career change – something that involved working with people, solving real-world problems, and making a genuine impact. After researching different industries, recruitment seemed like a good fit. When I came across Bayside Group, the decision to take the leap became easy.
From day one, Bayside provided a clear and supportive pathway. The New Starter Program gave me a strong foundation in theoretical and practical aspects of recruitment, and I was surrounded by experienced consultants who were generous with their time and insights. Their mentorship helped me grow quickly and confidently.
What I love most about recruitment is the variety and the opportunity to make a difference, whether it’s helping someone take the next step in their career or supporting a business in finding the right person. Every day brings new challenges, conversations, and opportunities to learn.
At Bayside, I’ve been trusted with a high level of autonomy while being supported in a collaborative and encouraging environment. It’s a place where you’re empowered to grow both personally and professionally, and where your work truly matters.

If you're considering a career change or looking for a role that’s people-focused, rewarding, and full of growth potential, I can confidently say recruitment at Bayside Group is a great place to start.

I’ve been fortunate throughout my career to work across a range of recruitment environments, from boutique and executive search firms to larger national and global organisations, in teams ranging from five to fifty.
The positive differences I noticed upon joining Bayside were immediate. There’s a true down-to-earth authenticity in the way Bayside is led and how its people are nurtured. Working alongside colleagues who have been loyal to the business for 10 and 20 years speaks volumes about the culture. The leadership style here is phenomenal – supportive, encouraging, appreciative, and empowering in equal measure.
There’s also a very real understanding that employees have personal lives outside of work. The trust and flexibility to work from home when needed is something I truly value. Bayside’s incredible legacy, rich history, and strong reputation in an industry sometimes seen as transactional, is something I’m proud to be part of.
Working at Bayside, I have the privilege of hearing people’s stories and playing a small role in shaping careers, while also helping organisations to succeed. No two days are ever the same. I enjoy the challenge, the connection, and the satisfaction that comes from helping others, whether that’s candidates, clients, or the colleagues I work alongside.
It’s a career that keeps me curious, energised, and fulfilled.

I transitioned into recruitment prior to joining the Bayside Group. In an industry that can be very transient and cut-throat, it was refreshing to see many employees stay – and 10 years later I’m one of them.
It demonstrates Bayside Group’s commitment to building long-term relationships, with employees, candidates and clients. There is a more cohesive working arrangement at Bayside Group. Recruitment can be a very competitive industry, even amongst co-workers, and it was great to see that people were collaborating on projects and sharing CV’s and information to benefit the client, rather than for personal gain.
Bayside often hires industry experts, valuing my background in the automotive sector and my technical knowledge. This helps us to better understand the needs of employers and job seekers.
For me, the ability to genuinely make a difference in people lives is one of my main motivators. Whether this be by assisting a candidate to move to the next stage of their career or helping a client achieve their goals by securing top talent, providing additional reporting to help streamline costs, or providing workforce driven feedback to enhance their employer value proposition.

Bayside also recognises achievements through the Sustainability Program. To build and maintain these relationships and become an industry expert is hugely rewarding.
