What clients say
Working with Dexter and Tier One People was one of the best choices we made. He truly understands the unique demands of fintechs.
Dexter and Tier One People are the leading talent agency for tech companies in Australia.
Super capable and quite different from others in the space. I genuinely felt they wanted to find the right candidate for Revolut, and the right fit for the candidate.
Dexter's insights, candour, and generosity with his time throughout my search were second to none. A true Tier One experience.
Dexter has been instrumental in helping Lendi Group transition from a startup into an enterprise. He understands our business, the type of leaders we are looking for, and shares our values.
What I've come to appreciate most is his candour. Not only has he helped me hire great people, he has also helped me avoid making the wrong hire. He's one of the strongest advocates for Spriggy as a business.
