The people behind your recruitment.
Meet the team responsible for finding, assessing and connecting the right people with the right opportunities.
Three people, one standard.
Celeste Preece
Celeste is the person on the other end of every brief and every session. She brings 26 years of global people management across more than 70 cities, from backstage crew to Stage Manager, Venue Supervisor and QHSE Officer, and since 2024 has worked in oil and gas recruitment: headhunting, talent identification and candidate stewardship in one of the most demanding hiring markets there is.
Her edge is seeing the person behind the CV. She has a particular gift for transferable skills, recognising the experience that opens doors into new industries for veterans, police, special forces, tradespeople, engineers and experienced professionals changing direction. Employers get shortlists built on evidence. Candidates get someone who understands what they actually bring.
An international competition sharpshooter and an Australian citizen based in Europe. Tuesday to Friday by appointment, in your time zone.
- Leads the desk Australia wide and internationally: every search, assessment, shortlist and candidate conversation
- Delivers Kickstart, Launch and every career transition session personally
- Hosts the Recruit360 LinkedIn group, where roles land first
Josh Smith
Josh is the director every employer relationship runs through. With over 20 years across frontline policing, WHS leadership, training and commercial business development, he understands high-risk environments, critical incident management and the real-world pressures on the people doing the hiring. He has led safety systems, conducted workplace and psychosocial investigations, and built workforce capability programs for organisations from Tier 1 mining operators to major venues.
That is why the desk assesses and verifies the way it does. Josh brings the sector knowledge, the client relationships across Soteria 360's consulting practice, and the AI capability behind the platform: he consults on AI integration and trains workforces in AI utilisation, so the tools behind Recruit360 are built in-house and understood end to end.
He leads Recruit360's two specialist desks. AI recruitment covers the people who build, deploy and use AI, screened for capability and safe practice rather than a line on a CV. Trainer and Assessor recruitment covers trainers, assessors, learning designers and capability leadership across high risk industries, where credentials are verified and industry currency is evidenced before anyone reaches a shortlist.
- Takes every employer brief and sets fees, terms and scope
- Leads executive and leadership search personally
- Leads the specialist desks: AI recruitment, and Trainer and Assessor recruitment
- Covers the desk when Celeste is unavailable, so a client is never left waiting
- Owns the assessment platform, the AI tooling and the standards behind every shortlist
Britney Smith
Brit builds the machine behind the desk, and takes the WA clients who want someone in the room. Every system a candidate or employer touches on Recruit360, the website, the registration and assessment flows, the job board, the marketing engine, the automation that turns a first enquiry into a booked conversation, is designed and built in-house by her.
With a background spanning policing, recruitment, small business, branding and coaching, she brings the people-development instinct and the production discipline behind a desk that runs at scale, and she keeps the way the desk shows up matched to the standard of the work behind it.
- Handles WA clients who want to meet face to face, across mining, construction, government and infrastructure
- Builds and runs the platform: website, forms, assessment tools, job board and automations
- Produces the content and campaigns, with Celeste as the face of the desk
One brief, three hands.
You always know who is doing what, and who to call. Every brief has a named owner from first conversation to placement, and the whole team behind it.
Josh takes the brief
The role, the site, the licences, the person who will fit. Fees and terms agreed in writing before anyone starts, and executive search led by Josh himself.
Celeste runs the desk
Search, assessment, verification, shortlist, interviews, offer, and the check-ins after the start date. Australia wide and international, and every one of those conversations is hers.
Brit builds the platform
The platform, assessment tools and reporting behind every shortlist are hers, so what you receive is consistent, evidenced and on time wherever the role sits. WA clients wanting to meet face to face deal with Brit directly.
Start with a conversation.
