Garry Connell
CEO
It's now more than two decades ago when in 1995 Garry founded and opened the doors of Trak Recruiting, and three decades since he joined the recruitment industry in 1985 with Australia’s most significant executive recruitment groups. Since then, Garry has partnered literally with hundreds of organisations and tens of thousands of candidates as both parties look for that right connection. Garry is also a Non-Executive Director with MTC Recruitment, a not-for-profit provider of education and recruitment opportunities for Sydney’s youth, indigenous communities, and long term unemployed.
