Joanna Slaven
Senior Recruitment Partner
About Joanna Slaven
Joanna Slaven is not just a Senior Recruitment Partner; she's a trusted friend in the industry.
With an impressive 17-year career focused on the financial and professional services sectors, Joanna is the embodiment of a genuinely personable and relatable recruiter.
Her secret to client care is in her exceptional ability to listen. She takes the time to truly understand her client's culture, preferences, and expectations, forging authentic connections - her knack for making clients feel understood and valued results in lasting partnerships, some extending as long as 16 years.
Joanna's candidate care approach is built on trust, respect, and genuine care. She keeps her promises and maintains open, empathetic communication, ensuring candidates feel supported and championed throughout their journey.
Joanna's point of difference as a Recruiter is her impressive 16-year tenure with Entrée Recruitment. Her track record speaks volumes, evidenced by repeat clients who enthusiastically refer others to her.
Joanna's strategy for attracting top talent is simple: exceptional candidate care. Over the years, candidates have repeatedly returned to her, and they often refer other outstanding professionals. She also actively builds relationships within the industry and participates in networking communities, solidifying her position as a go-to recruiter.
Her best advice for job seekers is to thoroughly research before applying. When she contacts you, be prepared to discuss the client's business and why you want to work there.
Outside of her thriving career, Joanna finds solace in swimming and passionately supports the AFL's Adelaide Crows. She also enjoys the lighter side of life by "terrorising" her children, injecting humour and joy into her family moments.
Stories from our clients
Entree staff members value their candidates and labour-hire employees, not just their clients.
Everyone at Entrée with whom I have had contact over considerable years has been professional, helpful and very prompt with regard to enquiries and assistance. My current consultant is always a pleasure to work with and a consummate professional. I believe that Entree staff members value their candidates and labour-hire employees, not just their clients. That is a significant difference from many recruitment companies.

The recruitment process was exceptionally easy.
The recruitment process was exceptionally easy. I was a little apprehensive about obtaining a temp, but my consultant was exceptional, and made it really easy to talk to and answered my questions with ease. I have always been apprehensive but this experience has definitely changed my mind. Our temp was lovely and very professional.

Excellent service provided by my consultant.
Excellent service provided by my consultant. They responded very quickly when I asked for a temp. Video job advertisements: I love it! I often see them on Facebook and watch them even if the role/industry is not relevant to me. They are very well produced and give a great insight into the organisation you are recruiting for - a good way to entice passive candidates.

All of the staff you have placed with our programs have been fantastic.
All of the staff you have placed with our programs have been fantastic. Each have brought a high level of professionalism to their work and have slotted in so beautifully into our teams. Working with children on the spectrum can present some unique challenges but each of your workers has taken it in their stride, applied their early childhood skills appropriately and demonstrated incredible initiative and adaptability. I am so glad to have connected with you last year and look forward to our continued partnership throughout the remainder of the year.

The consultant is very thorough in understanding the needs of the client and does not miss even the slightest detail.
The consultant is very thorough in understanding the needs of the client and does not miss even the slightest detail. I feel that due to her close and longstanding relationship with Footers and our management, she understands what we need and what we like - therefore always finds the best fitting candidate. The consultant maintains contact throughout the whole process (with both the client and the candidate) which I think is a nice touch. She maintains end-to-end contact to ensure the process is as seamless as possible and ensures all needs are met. She is easily contactable and follows up promptly.

The service is always fast, reliable, easy & delivered with a smile. Entrée has never failed to meet expectations, response times are speedy and always professional and personable.
Entrée is super lovely. I've been lucky enough to experience Entrée's professionalism as both a candidate and client over the years and never hesitate to get in touch when the need arises or recommend Entrée's services to others. The service is always fast, reliable, easy & delivered with a smile. Entrée has never failed to meet expectations, response times are speedy and always professional and personable. What I appreciate most about dealing with Entrée is the feeling that it is about the right people fit, not just another checkbox to book assignments regardless of finding the right people for the culture of the organisation. It is for exactly this reason that I sought out to have Entrée added to my new employer's books. The support team is also wonderful, and recently with a consultant starting maternity leave, another consultant has been introduced to our organisation - this has been seamless. The Entrée team always deliver fantastic services with the biggest of smiles.
