Robbie Reid

Director, Head of Legal Support

As an extrovert, I love talking to people, which lends itself quite nicely to recruitment. With over 9 years of recruitment experience under my belt, I know a thing or two about the legal industry in Australia and I have been called an encyclopedia more times than I would like to admit.


My creative skills for candidate sourcing and a knack for remembering odd details about candidates mean I can match up candidates to jobs others might not have thought about.
