Gaynor Lowndes

With 20 years of extensive experience as a top-billing consultant in both Australia and the UK, Gaynor Lowndes has a first-rate understanding of the recruitment industry and it’s challenges. Her strengths lie in her passion, tenacity and her commitment to providing beneficial and innovative solutions.

Commencing her career with a large multi-national firm, specialising in the recruitment of accounting staff, Gaynor quickly climbed the ranks from consultant to senior consultant to branch manager. She then worked in the UK for the parent company for 4 years as senior consultant and business development manager, consistently outperforming her peers, and developing a standing as one of the top billers in the highly competitive UK industry.

Returning to Australia in 1993, Gaynor set up an Accounting Division for a large national firm. After a highly successful tenure as a training and professional development specialist with the National Institute of Accountants, Gaynor began developing and delivering training programs on sales techniques and the recruitment process.

In April 2001, Gaynor set up The Recruitment Training Company in response to a desperate need for training and professional development within the industry, which she had observed in her time as a manager. Since its inception, TRTC has trained hundreds of recruiters throughout Australia and NZ, and has been hailed as the definitive provider of training solutions to the recruitment industry.

In July 2004, Gaynor published her first book, “The Art of Recruitment,” which has been hailed as the recruiters bible within Australia, NZ and the UK. Gaynor is regularly published in Recruitment trade publications in Australia and the UK.

As well as training, Gaynor consults to recruitment businesses on a regular basis which allows her the opportunity to keep up to date with the market. In addition, she is an accredited performance coach who specializes in helping high performers reach their potential (www.GaynorLowndes.com).

Gaynor believes her calling in the recruitment industry goes further than her role as a trainer. The Recruitment Training Company is about inspiring and encouraging the professionals within our industry to be the best that they can be,” she says. I see the skills development and training we offer as essential ‘tools’ to help us fulfill this greater purpose.
