About Norris & Partners
Norris & Partners was formed with one vision – to be the most senior network of recruitment professionals to service the recruitment industry, providing a strategic level of rec2rec solutions to its’ clients, and to be able to steer each candidate’s career in a positive direction.
We believe we have, in a relatively short period of time, delivered on that. Now Norris & Partners is expanding its’ network to incorporate other senior professionals, a network of local and interstate researchers, and new service offerings.
Lisa Norris - Director
I started my recruitment career in 1991, joining Diversiti, part of the Chandler Macleod Group. After five years I moved to London to further my career and opened the IT division of Robert Walters. I built this fledging business from two staff to more than 50 IT recruiters in a three year period and was key to the company’s strategy to publicly list.
Returning to Australia, I joined Randstad (IT), where my job was Australian Head as well as General Manager Sales. I moved to Spherion, one of the world’s largest publicly listed recruitment companies. Spherion was acquired by Julia Ross and on acquisition I became Regional Manager Australia. My most recent job was as the Regional Director of Aquent, overseeing Australia and New Zealand operations, responsible for a network of six offices and more than 70 staff.
The value I personally add to my clients and candidates is after 20 years in the recruitment industry both locally and overseas, I have an extensive knowledge of the recruitment market, its' internal and external workings, trends and forecasts and I can pass this advice and guidance onto you.
Annette Willey - Researcher
I have over ten years recruitment experience gained in both London and Sydney. I started my career in account and project management within the creative industry after graduating with a BA Hons degree in Social Sciences and Psychology. In 2003 I joined Aquent in the UK, providing freelance creative staff and in 2005 I transferred to Sydney, which is where I worked with Lisa. I recently joined Norris & Partners to provide resourcing, research and consulting skills.
CPE Committee Member, Accredited Recruitment Professional and Corporate Member of the RCSA
I have also been part of the CPE committee of the RCSA since Norris & Partners’ inception. This committee is responsible for providing the industry with training and development in the form of breakfast seminars, workshops, structured training courses and WebinRs. I have actively participated in organising, speaking at and sponsoring some of the Association’s events, such as the NSW June 2008 Consultant Panel, and the 2008 NSW Annual Charity Fundraiser. In addition I am an Accredited Recruitment Professional, and Norris & Partners is a Corporate Member of the RCSA.
