    INTRODUCTION

    S8 is a boutique recruitment firm specialising in Animal Health Recruitment.

     

    Based in Australia, we are a global business with strong networks across Asia, the USA and Europe. We believe that the best people for a job are often not actively job seeking, so traditional job seeking methods might not always find the best person for the job.

     

    Our extensive international network of standout candidates across the world sets us apart, and our clients are always amazed at how we can find a needle in a haystack. We believe that square pegs belong in square holes.

     

    Our reputation depends on it.

      A. Giaquinto

    • "S8 provided great communication and follow up with the employer. He explained the interview process and properly communicated any questions or concerns to the employer. This helped with making the interview process quick and efficient."

      Matthew, Candidate

    • "Shannon was enthusiastic and very easy to work with. His response time to any inquiry was prompt and clear. I would definitely work with Shannon again for any recruitment needs."

      Nick, Employer

    • "Sam helped me place me in the right role and was invaluable from the interview stage right through to contract negotiation.

      Laura, Candidate

    • "I have been working with Sam from S8 Animal health for the past few months and hands down this is the best Veterinary Recruitment Agency I have worked with. Sam has been nothing but helpful, hardworking and transparent. She has since placed two amazing nurses with our practice and has continued to support us in filling other roles within the business. We look forward to continuing working with her in future. If you are looking for an agency that accommodates your individual needs and is professional and understanding, I would look no further than these guys."

      Alex, Employer

    • "After thirteen years in Pet Specialty, I was aware of Shannon’s strong industry reputation as the ‘go-to’ person for recruitment.

Shannon is not only a great recruiter, but he’s also a pretty decent guy."

    ABOUT US

    I’m Shannon, top dog at S8.

     

    Shannon started in recruitment in the animal health industry in 2006. Next to rugby and getting out on the water when he can, it’s what he loves to do.

     

    It makes sense, given his curiosity for what makes people ‘tick’ and that he’s a true people-person. He’s passionate about helping people who, he says, make him feel as though his job is to talk to friends all day long.

     

    As S8’s Managing Director Shannon understands that recruitment is much more than putting bums in seats. It’s about finding the people who ‘complete’ your team. Those you trust and can collaborate with – and share a laugh with, too.

     

    An experienced specialist, Shannon is committed to working alongside each client through their talent acquisition process and helping candidates find their next, life-changing role.

     

    As well as being a husband and father (of two boys plus a beloved, though somewhat challenging, family dog called Jasper), Shannon loves all sports, cooking, wine and chocolate – but not necessarily in that order.

     

    Authentic, Reliable, Refined and Relaxed. That’s the S8 contribution to your recruitment process.

     

    To discuss how we can help create your perfect pack, herd or flock, please get in touch. Our team would love to hear from you.

    When it comes to recruitment, I’m passionate about the Animal Health Industry and connecting great people with great people.

      J. SILLINCE

    • “I am so grateful for Shannon’s experience to match me to my perfect role. Within days, he had 2 amazing roles for me to choose from….

      T. GORDON

      A. SNEYD

    • “I have always found Shannon to be approachable, open to discussion and honest when discussing suitability and fits for different roles. Importantly, Shannon always returns calls! I would have no hesitation in recommending Shannon to both Companies who have available roles or candidates looking for opportunities. ”

      A. SLATTERY

    • “Having worked in the both human and animal health multinational pharmaceutical industry for over 25 years, I have worked with many external recruitment companies to source external talent and S8/Shannon stood out as being the most professional, great listener, great negotiator, and a trusted extension of the businesses.”
