Association news Life member Profile Peter Gleeson FRCSA (Life) Peter Gleeson, Executive General Manager – Recruitment, with Chandler Macleod Group Ltd, was appointed a RCSA Life Member at the recent Gala Ball and Awards night. Peter is well known within the recruitment industry and, like many other industry leaders, had not planned a career in recruitment. Originally an accountant, in the early part of his working life, Peter and his brother established a business supplying the healthcare sector. He joined the recruitment industry in 1990 and over 16 years, Peter was instrumental in the growth of white collar search and selection specialists, Tanner Menzies, from a three person boutique to an international operation. In 2002 he guided the company through its acquisition by Randstad and remained as CEO until end–2005. Joining the RCSA as a Councillor in 1996 he served as Councillor for ten years, working with both the Membership and Ethics portfolios. He was appointed Vice President, then President, of the RCSA in NSW, hosting the International RCSA Conference in Sydney and building a strong and respected council. Peter then took a sabbatical before returning to the industry to head up Australasia’s largest specialist franchise recruitment group, Frontline Recruitment Group as CEO. He joined Chandler Macleod in 2008 and was involved in restructuring the business which resulted in the last financial year being the most successful in the company’s 51-year history. The recruitment business which Peter heads up has a turnover in excess of $640 million of the $1.4 billion group turnover. Life after Recruitment Dawne Kelleher FRCSA (Life) Dawne Kelleher FRCSA (Life) founded her own company Stafffinders in New Zealand in the 1970s and in the 80s changed the name to Kelleher Consulting Group which she led until her retirement in 2004. This is Dawne’s story … During my years in the industry, I was elected Wellington Chairperson of the RCSA, then had two terms as National President during the formative years of what was first the Federation of Personal Consultants (FPS), then the National Association of Personal Consultants (NAPC), the Institute of Personal Consultants (IPC), and now the prestigious professional body it has become today: the Recruitment & Consulting Services Association Ltd (RCSA). It was on my watch in New Zealand that the Australasian professional ethics became the standard of conduct that it is now. It was no mean feat in those days with some members very nervous and tentative about being given rulings on how they operate their business. My maxim was. “We are only as good as our worst practitioner”. In those days, New Zealand organised our own conferences with great passion and a desire for each one to be better than the last. A small group of business owners and managers spent many hours after productive days in the office, showing a real dedication for the exciting industry we were a part of, working late at night, conceiving and planning keystone events, and loving every minute. One year, the night before the Conference, the highly recommended American keynote speaker had absconded with her company’s funds, including our deposit. Should have known better – she was famous for recommending “taking risks in business”! What a 24 hours that was, everyone looking for a new keynote speaker. We found a good one, too. Another time, the band for the gala evening didn’t turn up so we begged and coerced a local band to step in. Another crisis averted! What do I do now It’s very scary when you retire having been an active and proactive part of the workforce for almost fifty years. To face the day unstructured was a real challenge. My first thoughts were to find other work of some kind, the idea of doing nothing filled me with terror. I helped a colleague with training, until one day, I thought “If I wanted to do this, why did I stop” So, I finished the task and stopped for good. The last ten years have been really busy, learning to live without a diary, not eating and sleeping “recruitment” 24 hours a day, and finding out exactly who I am if I’m not Dawne Kelleher of Kellehers. I’ve learnt many new skills and found out that the ego is the hardest emotion to harness, but harness it I have. I’ve learnt to be still in my head and heart; I swam in the ocean every day of the year at Palm Beach. I belong to two book clubs and learnt to play Mahjong. I am currently auditioning to sing in a New Zealand gold medal acapella city chorus – and loving every minute of it. I’m reading and assessing movie scripts for my daughter who says I’m a natural. I’ve mentored some interesting people at their request in their ongoing pursuit of better management skills. Travelling has always been of interest, the countries I visited have been fascinating and colourful. I always have my eye on “where to go next” My people skills have helped me greatly in my own search of absorbing and exciting activities, as has my ability to be strategic and motivate people. I really enjoy entertaining and my dinner party menus are planned with precision. I adore cooking and I enjoy teaching my grandchildren of 10, 21 and 24, how to cook with passion by demonstrating all the skills my mother taught me. She was Lebanese and a renowned cook and my eldest grandson Zac has our cooking gene and is studying to be a chef at TAFE. Now when people ask me what I do all day, I laugh and say “I don’t know how I ever found time to work”. I have two adult children, both at the top of their chosen professions in the world of film and television. They fill me with pride when they say that I am their inspiration ... one can’t do better than that. But I’m trying! 40 RCSA JOURNAL
