What I do

Inside the Hiring Room
Workshops for secondary students, graduates, job seekers and program participants, from the person who makes the hiring decisions. 90 minutes to 4 days, no licence needed.
-
Job Market Mastery for institutions
For universities, TAFEs, RTOs, LLENs and NFPs. Your own team delivers the full program to every cohort, every year. Start with a workshop or an initial cohort of up to 50, then scale it across your institution.
-
Recruitment & Executive Search
Permanent, contract and executive placements across seven-plus sectors. Flat fee, never a percentage. I only take briefs I know I can fill.
-
Redundancy Support Workshops
New. Practical workshops for staff leaving your organisation: how hiring works now, resumes, LinkedIn, interviews and offers.
-
Career Coaching
One-on-one sessions if you’re changing direction, returning to work, or getting interviews but not offers. $385 per 75-minute session, or 3 sessions for $1,045, including GST.
-

Who you’ll be working with
I’m Erika Turnley, Founder and Director of eSquared. I’ve hired staff, managed teams and built business units, so I know what employers are weighing up and where candidates lose them. That same view shapes every placement, every coaching session and every Job Market Mastery module.

“Erika contacted me via LinkedIn regarding a job opportunity within my industry… and I successfully landed the role. I am very grateful for her hard work and persistence, not only in the recruitment process, but in following up post my employment commencement.”
