It’s not just about a new job

The best time to discuss your values and career options is when you are happily employed.

Perhaps you are looking to progress in your current organisation, benchmark your position in the market or maybe you are looking to map out your career path in a more socially responsible, collaborative, empowering team. Whatever your question; we are here to help you define your values and the lifestyle that you want and then to support you to achieve.

We can pass on the lessons learnt from thousands of people we have met over the years.

Reaching out to CTC is free and confidential.

Career Mentor

Free and confidential career discussion around what drives; energises and de-energises you, your values, your lifestyle and family aspirations, your appetite for travel and career progression. Life is a balance and it is important to regularly ensure you are on the right path to achieve the right balance. The more you understand what you want from life and the more you discuss and communicate this the more likely you are to achieve it.

We are here to help empower you to manage your manager and to find the right environment for you and your family. Together we are more connected.

Market Information

It’s not about a new job but rather a friendly voice on the phone or a relaxing coffee or drink. We are here to answer any questions you might have… what are companies doing for the environment? which companies are shortlisted to win a project? what should your salary be? Or perhaps a discussion on industry trends & developments for the future. We love meeting people and sharing ideas.

Fullfill your potential

“I know where I want to work and have lots of friends working there, why do I need CTC?”

Our business model is based on relationships with company decision-makers, we can go straight to them to discuss your situation. This gives you the following benefits:

More control: If you apply to a company you are effectively saying you want to work there. Our approach is to highlight that you are really happy where you are, that you aren’t actively looking but that you might be interested in making contact in the future to understand what your career might look like with them. If you start on these terms and decide to stay where you are then you aren’t letting anyone down.
More honest feedback: We are here to help you learn and develop, employers give us the “real” feedback.
More opportunities: Have you considered every potential opportunity to suit your aspirations or just settled on somewhere better than your current role?
Less hassle: We chase up meetings, feedback, negotiate offers, and coordinate the process.
Experienced “sounding board”: discuss how various opportunities suit your values, ethics and objectives.

This is a free and totally confidential service. We are here to support your best interests at all times.

Kellie has recruited a range of roles for me during my time with Programmed Property Services and I have also had the pleasure of working alongside of her in coaching other executives. Kellie is an authentic, dedicated and passionate recruiter. She is consistent in her drive to find the right person for the job by understanding both the brief, the employer and the candidate at a very deep level setting up countless long term success stories. Some people spend their lives looking for the right job for themselves – not only has Kellie found and grown in hers, but she does so for many many others."

Event Coordinator

"The construction industry today is faced with a tremendous challenge in the adoption of BIM and it's technologies. Businesses will need to adapt and to do that they will need to attract the right people, people who not only have the right experience, knowledge and leadership but the right attitude to accept change as a way of life.
Having employed Chris on a number of occasions to find the right resource, I know from experience that he and his colleagues understand what is required in today's industry and would recommend his company to anybody who is looking for the right quality staff to embrace change and move their business forward.

BIM Manager

I just wanted to take a minute to touch base and share with you my sincerest appreciation for absolutely everything you have done in helping me find a suitable position in Adelaide.

I think I mentioned to you early on that I had spoken with another recruiter before you, who I felt wrote me off a little and put me in the “too-hard basket” because I was overseas and hadn’t worked in Adelaide before. Something that I have felt from the beginning is your unwavering willingness to help, not only me but (my partner) as well, despite the complexities around our situation.

You offered me a huge sense of comfort at every stage of the process and your advice, insight and transparency about the Adelaide market is something that I have found hugely valuable. I cannot express enough just how much it meant to have someone to talk to openly and frankly about what I was thinking. Without doubt, you have gone above and beyond anything I would have expected.

Associate Architect

"As a graduate, fresh out of uni, it can be overwhelming trying to find a company that has the expertise to help forge the career you want – it is difficult getting to know the industry from the outside. Chris Tan Consulting provided a wealth of industry knowledge and an unbiased opinion to help steer me towards a company that is exactly what I wanted."

Civil Engineer

"I can wholeheartedly state that CTC is the most pre-active and hard-working recruitment consultancy I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are extremely well networked and achieved more in terms of leads into suitable posts than any other consultancy I contacted. What I found refreshing is that they do not pressure you into making a choice – preferring you to take the right position, not the first. I fully recommend their services to any other engineers migrating from the UK."

Project Manager

“Genuine understanding, sincere approach, quality advice and full dedication in a most friendly, impartial and professional fashion. CTC has fulfilled what I aspired and they certainly served my best long term interests. What was eventually achieved was more than just having the right career path, a caring friendship was also formed.”

Two-Year Civil Engineer

“Just thanking you for your professional conduct in securing me this position. I really appreciate your efforts. As far as recruiting agencies go, you stand out by a long shot!”
