Your mandate is never advertised. Every approach is handled with absolute discretion, protecting your organisation and every candidate we engage.

Precision Over Volume

We map the full talent landscape, active and passive, and deliver a curated shortlist of typically three to five exceptional candidates, each with a full intelligence report.

Finance DNA. Exclusively.

Over two decades recruiting exclusively in accounting, finance and executive leadership. Our network is deep, our intelligence is precise, and our shortlists are never crowded.

Roles We Fill

C-Suite, Finance & Senior Leadership

We place the leaders others cannot find. Every search is handled by a dedicated consultant with genuine sector expertise. Not a generalist relay team.

Executive Search FAQ

Questions Employers Ask Before Starting a Search

A senior appointment should never feel like a volume recruitment exercise. These are the questions organisations usually ask when choosing an executive search firm.

What does an executive search firm do?

An executive search firm maps the leadership market, approaches passive candidates confidentially, assesses capability and cultural fit, and presents a curated shortlist for senior appointments.

Do you handle executive recruitment in Parramatta and Western Sydney?

Yes. Byron Thomas Recruitment is based in Parramatta and supports employers across Western Sydney, greater Sydney and Australia with confidential executive recruitment and senior finance search.

Which executive roles do you recruit?

We recruit C-suite, CEO, CFO, COO, CIO, CTO, Finance Director, General Manager Finance, Group Financial Controller and other senior leadership roles where the brief requires discretion and precision.

How is executive search different from standard recruitment?

Standard recruitment often depends on active applicants. Executive search is more targeted: we map the market, identify proven leaders, approach them discreetly and assess whether they match the role, culture and business context.
