Meet Imelda Walsh, Director of Birmont Group
Imelda Walsh remembers the day she was approached by a candidate who had nearly given up on finding a dream role in procurement.
“Katy came to me after being made redundant and had already been to three different recruiters who had said they couldn’t help her”, recalls Imelda. “When I met with Katy, she was ready to take a junior role well below her level. I listened to her, understood her transferrable skillset and knew she would be an asset to any procurement team. Together, we worked on her interview skills and focused on helping her appreciate how amazing she was. Within a few weeks I had placed her in a major resources organisation with a much higher salary than she had previously been told she was worth.”
“Katy has been there for four years now, and the client is delighted – they consider Katy the highest performing member of her team. Today, she’s a confident and powerful career woman who has seized every opportunity that has come her way.”
A seasoned procurement recruitment and coaching professional, Imelda’s experience spans from senior positions with major international companies to boutique agencies. She works across all areas of procurement recruitment including interim contracting, permanent recruitment and executive search.
Over her career, Imelda has partnered with Chief Procurement Officers, senior leaders and C-level executives around Australia to help build high-performing teams across multiple industries. Her unique understanding of what is needed by both client and candidate allows her to provide customised and adaptive solutions.
Imelda is passionate about changing lives and making a positive impact by coaching talented people through their career journey, advising them on how to make the right decisions to help them find fulfilling careers.
She believes in developing genuine and lasting relationships with candidates and clients, translating client needs into clear, achievable objectives for Birmont Group's talent pool to deliver.
