Celebrating Our 2025 Consultant of the Year Award Winners
Spotlighting Teamwork, Connection, and People-First Success
At Sharp & Carter, our people bring our values to life every day, in how they collaborate, support clients, and lift each other up. Today, we celebrate those who’ve exemplified these values to the fullest.
As part of our 2025 Values Spotlight Series, we’re proud to celebrate this year’s Consultant of the Year Award winners. Each recipient of this award brings something unique to their market and their team, yet they all share one defining trait: a deep commitment to our people-first approach.
And while their achievements span different states, sectors, and career stages, a clear theme emerged throughout their reflections:
Exceptional results come from caring teams.
Whether they were navigating challenges, lifting others up, or celebrating shared success, every winner spoke about the power of teamwork, culture, and connection, the foundation of great recruitment.
Teamwork in Action
Across all five consultants recognised this year, one message rang loud and clear: the people around them made all the difference.
Their insights offer a genuine look into what drives fulfilment and success in recruitment today: Trust, support, collaboration, and human connection.
