“When we needed an interim CEO in the Mornington Shire Council, Leading Roles were able to place someone who really understood the unique challenges facing the community. Their service, prompt attention, and the quality candidate put forward spoke highly of their recruiting and screening processes. I would have no hesitation in recommending Leading Roles to any local government authority looking to fill high-level positions.”
