"I've had a great experience working with Dan. Even before I moved to New Zealand permanently, he was able to advocate for me and line up some meetings with prospective employers when I was visiting. As a result, when I landed in Auckland, I was interviewing at Vodafone within days, and able to get up and running almost immediately, which made the whole move that much more straightforward. Dan was quick to understand not just the sort of roles I was interested in and suited to, but also the company culture, and seemed genuinely interested in marrying those together in any recommendations he was making. He has continued to check in with me regularly, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for financial recruitment services. "

"I highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a better fitting role. Not only did he represent me in searching for my dream Job. I trusted his skills to also place some of my finance professional vacancies. Very professional in following through and kept me updated regularly. "

"Having come to Auckland on a Job Search, I had met with many recruiters, but Daniel Doyle was the first recruiter who genuinely tried to get to know me. Though he did not have any positions open, he took the time to get to know me, asking questions which helped him to map my talents but also my season in life and my goals and aspirations. He set out immediately to assist me, making me feel valued with his daily touch bases and his confidence in placing me. He is an excellent recruiter and one I have used in my organisation to place an additional 8 heads. I will definitely continue to use him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a recruiter who is able to locate and identify great talent."

"Dan brings a refreshing approach to headhunting, or as he would say… unicorn hunting. Right from the outset, Dan made me feel relaxed and valued and right the way through the process felt exploratory and authentic - exactly what a digital leader like me is looking for. If you’re looking to attract top talent that values diversity, creativity and outcomes it pays to approach them in this way right from the outset. Dan does this."

"Dan supported me whilst I was rebuilding the Accounting Services team at Datacom, pre/mid-pandemic and during a period of lots of change in the organisation. He took the time to fully understand our needs, ensuring only the best candidates were brought forward to interview which took a lot of stress out of the recruitment process. He's a really easy guy to get along with and genuinely cares, so the process feels less transactional and more value add. Dan is a trusted partner and someone who I will happily continue to work with in the future. I am truly appreciative of all the hard work put in from Dan over the years."

"Dan has helped me find my current and previous role. I would not have had the reach to find the specific types of opportunities I was looking for and which ultimately defined my career. Dan has been great to work with and I would highly recommend."

"Dan at Unicorn Hunters is an absolute magician, finding us many exceptional and longstanding employees over the years as our business has grown. He has always delivered a thoroughly vetted shortlist of quality candidates, excited about the opportunity to join our team. I value his frank and honest approach, ensuring everyone's expectations are aligned at the interview stage, delivering a smooth and efficient process. I would happily recommend Dan and Unicorn Hunters to anyone looking to take the hassle out of their recruitment processes."

Simon Ward

CFO, Harmoney

Client Tesitmonial
"Dan’s communication, support and authenticity were hugely appreciated throughout the recruitment process for a role I was lucky enough to land. Dan obviously “gets” the hiring market, and the candidate experience and that sets him apart in what can sometimes be an obvious desire to just churn the numbers through. Thanks Dan! Wouldn’t hesitate to work with you on either side of the recruiting coin in future"
