PARTNERSHIPS
Built on Shared Values. Strengthened by the Right Alliances.
Partnerships & Professional Affiliations
At PARTNER Executive, the organisations we work alongside reflect exactly who we are professional bodies, diversity advocates, and industry leaders who share our belief that ethical, inclusive leadership changes everything. We operate across Australia and globally, and we don't take that responsibility lightly

C-suite, board & senior management specialists
Committed to ethical, diversity-led executive search
Offices in Sydney & Perth | National & Global Reach
The organisations we align with say as much about who we are, as the work we do. Every affiliation, membership, and collaborative relationship we've built at PARTNER Executive has been chosen with intention, grounded in the same values that shape every search we run: equality, ethics, integrity, and the genuine conviction that diverse leadership drives lasting organisational performance. These aren't decorative associations. They're working relationships that hold us accountable and push our practice forward.
Our Clients
Why Partnerships Matter in Executive Search
Executive search doesn't happen in isolation. Finding the right leader for a complex, senior role takes far more than a database, it demands trusted networks, credible professional standards, and relationships with organisations working at the frontier of leadership, diversity, and workplace culture. Our partnerships extend those networks and sharpen the accountability we feel to every client and candidate who trusts us with something important.
When we align ourselves with a body or organisation, it's because their purpose genuinely aligns with ours. These aren't logo arrangements on a footer. They're working relationships that shape how we search, how we assess candidates, and how we advocate for better leadership across Australian business.
Professional Memberships & Industry Bodies
Recruitment, Consulting & Staffing Association (RCSA)
Our directors are elected members of the RCSA Western Australian Regional Council — one of the most respected industry bodies in Australasian recruitment. RCSA membership isn't a box we tick. It reflects our commitment to professional standards, ethical practice, and the ongoing development of the executive search profession.
Gregor McNally holds Accredited Professional Recruiter (APR) status and is also a member of the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI), anchoring our practice in recognised professional frameworks that mean something. For our clients, this matters in a practical way.
When you engage PARTNER, you're working with a firm that's held to — and actively helps shape — the ethical and professional standards of the industry. That's not something we take for granted
Diversity & Inclusion Partnerships
CEOs for Gender Equity
Caitlin also mentors female Year 11 students in business through the Future Female Leaders programme. Real, sustainable change in boardrooms starts well before a candidate reaches the C-suite — and investing in young women now is entirely consistent with our long-term commitment to reshaping the executive landscape from the ground up. We're in this for the long game

Aligned Industry Relationships
Beyond formal memberships, we maintain active professional relationships across every sector we operate in property and real estate, construction and infrastructure, financial services, technology, and professional services.
These relationships give our consultants direct insight into market conditions, emerging leadership needs, and the talent available within each sector. It's the kind of on-the-ground intelligence that a database alone will never provide.
That depth of cross-industry experience, combined with our active participation in professional and advocacy bodies, means PARTNER clients access networks that stretch well beyond any single sector or geography
Matthew Iustini, Director and CEO of Technical Resources, brings 25 years of industry experience and sits on the RCSA board as the Western Australian representative.
Luke Iustini, also a Director, brings his background as CFO at Technical Resources applying commercial rigour and data-driven thinking to how we measure and continuously improve search outcomes for every client engagement.
The PARTNER Promise:
Accountability Through Association
Our promise to clients and candidates is clear: we'll conduct every search with meticulous care, ethical rigour, and an unwavering commitment to diversity. Our professional affiliations are one of the ways we hold ourselves to that promise in a tangible, verifiable way — not just something we say on a website. We don't treat memberships as credentials to display.
We use them — attending councils, contributing to industry debate, advocating for ethical reform, and mentoring the next generation of leaders. If you're considering a partnership, collaboration, or referral relationship with PARTNER Executive, we'd genuinely welcome that conversation.
Our best alliances are built over time, grounded in shared values and a mutual commitment to raising standards.
Interested in Partnering With Us?
Whether you represent an industry body, a diversity and inclusion initiative, an academic institution, or an aligned professional services firm, we're open to exploring how a relationship with PARTNER Executive could benefit the leaders and organisations we both serve.
Our most enduring partnerships are built on a shared belief that great leadership — diverse, ethical, and visionary — genuinely changes organisations for the better. Reach out to our team in Perth or Sydney and let's start the conversation.
We'd love to understand your work and explore where our values connect. If you're an employer looking for a genuine search partner rather than a recruitment vendor, visit our For employers page to understand exactly how we work.

Frequently Asked QUestions
Is PARTNER Executive a member of the RCSA?
Yes. Our directors are elected members of the RCSA Western Australian Regional Council.
Managing Director Gregor McNally holds Accredited Professional Recruiter (APR) status and is also a member of the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI). These aren't just credentials — they reflect our firm's genuine commitment to ethical, professional standards across every executive
search engagement we run.
How does PARTNER Executive approach diversity and inclusion in its partnerships?
Diversity and inclusion are core to who we are — not an afterthought. Director Caitlin Iustini works
directly with CEOs for Gender Equity and mentors young women through the Future Female
Leaders programme. Every partnership we enter reflects our belief that diverse, equitable
leadership is essential to long-term organisational performance, and we build that conviction into
every search from day one.
Can my organisation partner with PARTNER Executive?
Absolutely — we welcome conversations with industry bodies, diversity organisations, professional
associations, and aligned firms who share our values around ethical leadership and inclusion. Our
best partnerships develop organically from genuine alignment, not transactions. Reach out to our
Sydney or Perth team to explore whether a collaboration makes sense for both of us.
How do PARTNER's professional affiliations benefit clients and candidates?
Our memberships and partnerships extend our networks, sharpen our market insight, and hold us
accountable to recognised professional and ethical standards. For clients, it means working with a
firm operating to independently verified best practice. For candidates, it means your search is
managed by consultants who take their professional responsibilities seriously — and can
demonstrate it.
Does PARTNER Executive have a formal referral or alliance programme?
We don't operate a transactional referral scheme. What we do instead is build genuine, long-term collaborative relationships with organisations whose purpose aligns with ours — ethical executive search, diverse leadership pipelines, and continuous improvement of professional standards. If you
think there's a meaningful connection, we'd encourage you to get in touch.
Where can I learn more about PARTNER Executive's values and approach?
Our values of equality, ethics, integrity, and diversity are explored in depth on our About page and across our Perspectives editorial series — covering topics from ethics in talent acquisition to women in executive leadership. Our Promise page lays out the specific commitments we make to every client and candidate we work with
