Paige

With a strong background in Real Estate and over four years of industry experience, I’ve recently joined Innovative Talent Group as a Recruitment & Marketing Specialist. My journey into recruitment was a natural progression, combining my passion for people, property, and building lasting professional relationships.

I take pride in my ability to understand both clients and candidates, not just the technical requirements of a role, but also the nuances of team fit, culture, and long-term goals, which I believe are just as important.

My network continues to grow through genuine connections, tailored support, and a no-fluff, honest approach to both clients and candidates.

If you’re an employer seeking support with recruitment, keen to understand current market insights, or want a second opinion on hiring strategy, I’d love to be your sounding board.
Likewise, if you’re a candidate ready for a new chapter, let’s connect and talk about your next move.


How do you like to spend your time outside of work?

Outside of work, I love to keep things pretty relaxed. You’ll usually find me out on a walk, at a Pilates class, or catching up with my partner and friends over good food and conversation. It’s all about balance and winding down after a busy week.


What kinds of activities energise you?

To refocus, and re-energise, my go-to’s are gym, floatation tanks, and playing tennis.


What’s one thing you’re learning now or learned recently?

I’ve recently learned how to make homemade pasta from scratch. It was a messy kitchen experiment but surprisingly fun. I’ll never look at store-bought pasta the same way again.


What’s something you saw recently that made you smile?

I saw an elderly couple dancing in the park with no music. Just enjoying the moment together. It was simple but so heartwarming.


What’s your guilty pleasure?

Ben & Jerry’s. Any flavour, any time — it’s my ultimate comfort treat (and honestly, no guilt here).


When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Police Officer


What’s your ideal way to spend your weekends?

My ideal weekend is heading to my holiday house in Yarrawonga. It’s the perfect place to relax, reset, and enjoy some sunshine and slower living.


Are you a dog person or a cat person (or neither)?

I truly love both! I have a cat named Luna who is the most beautiful, gentle soul — but I’m also totally obsessed with dogs and can’t wait to have one of my own someday.


What’s your go-to karaoke song?

“Iris” by The Goo Goo Dolls. It’s such a classic — moody, nostalgic, and always a crowd-pleaser.
