Ju l i e Ent icot t G e ne ra l Manager
Julie was our first consultant appointed in 1997 when the Qudos business model
and goals were set and it was time to staff up and turn the vision into a success.
Clearly the right choice, Julie is now our General Manager and a shareholder. She
leads and manages the team and all the operational aspects of the business.
Relocating to Melbourne from the UK in ’89 with a business diploma and office
support experience Julie joined the Hays Recruitment Group. During her eight years
at Hays her career progressed through support roles including EA to the Director, to
para-consultant before becoming a consultant.
With the right combination of industry and professional training, a flair for
relationship building and a reputation for integrity and professionalism she has been a major
influence on the success of Qudos. Julie is very hands-on, stays involved with our clients
and candidates, and is an excellent role model for all those who have had the good fortune
to work with her.
With over 20 years in the industry, Julie’s network, knowledge and experience is highly respected
by Melbourne’s leading HR professionals. In her 14 years with Qudos, she has married, had two
beautiful boys and now balances her busy life with a four day working week, and like others at
Qudos has the flexibility of working remotely so we don’t miss a beat.

Nessie’s previous experience put her in good stead for the role of Office
Administrator at Qudos. Starting as a young receptionist with an Executive
Search firm in 2005, her career was fast-tracked through necessity due to an
ownership takeover, a restructure and an aggressive growth strategy. She gained
an enormous amount of experience through a range of roles from receptionist to
administrator, secretary, marketing assistant and PA in a space of four years. She’s
ideally equipped to be our go-to- person for our business processes, supplies, IT,
marketing, advertising and social network administration and is usually the 1st voice
of our business.
Nessie is a versatile, multi-skilled office professional. She works collaboratively with all the staff,
can handle and field every enquiry from clients, candidates, business associates and suppliers
with a great depth of understanding of all our business needs. She’s a character and keeps
us on our toes!
Ly n C a irns Dire ct or
With recruitment experience in the UK, New Zealand and Australia, management
training in the US and Post Graduate studies in Business/HR, Lyn started Qudos in
1997 as an alternative to the large scale, process-driven offerings of the recruitment
industry at that time.
She identified the need for a boutique, specialist approach to providing a truly
personalised service by experienced and qualified consultants. ‘Our difference?
Experience’, coined in 1997 continues to be the basis of Qudos’ success today.
The Qudos business culture is a collaborative, cross pollination of market
knowledge, technical expertise, business acumen and meaningful relationships
with colleagues, clients and candidates.
Now semi-retired Lyn is very confident in her management team and believes that the future
and direction of the business is in very capable hands. She’s an avid follower of business trends,
economics, world affairs and technology and keeps the team well informed and abreast of market
developments, and enjoys working on the business, and supporting the people in the business.
