| The Story of our History |
|
Alexander Porter Pty Ltd was established to address an increasing need for a professional high- touch relationship driven IT recruitment service offering personalised service to both clients and candidates. Established by Bruce Miller, who after travelling the world for several years in the 1990's, returned to begin his hands-on IT career in the mid -late 1990's as a COBOL programmer and part-time IT Trainer. In 2000 Bruce was approached to join Woodbine Associates, a well respected high-end boutique IT&T recruiter, thus beginning his passion to help candidates and businesses achieve more. With a decade of recruitment experience and an MBA (2009), he understands business pressures and how to alleviate this by consistently sourcing the right talent. It could be said the origins of Alexander Porter began over 40 years ago. Bruce was named after two of his father's close friends, with their surnames respectively being Alexander and Porter. Not having the ego to need his own name up in lights nor wishing a clichéd name like so many others in the recruitment world, Alexander Porter Pty Ltd portrays the qualities of the men from which it is named. Alexander Porter stands for the timeless old fashioned values of common courtesy, common sense, integrity, quality and perseverance. Finding and attracting great talent is getting harder. We recognise that superior recruitment is the result of an approach that is both scientific, having a sound and repeatable process and methodology, and a touch of art, or instinctive insight, of the recruitment function which is why Alexander Porter believes in The Artful Science of Talent Identification®. |
