Success Stories
Promising Potential love seeing our purpose of providing life-changing opportunities to individuals and organisations realised. There is no better way to see this than sharing in the success stories of those we have had partnered with.

I was referred to Promising Potential because I was seeking to gain employment as an Occupational Rehabilitation Consultant. From the moment I made contact with Tracy Shepherd, I was very impressed with her professionalism, efficiency and expert advice. She was consistently prompt in returning my phone calls or e-mails and even following up with me, to check on my progress. For a person who has been out of the Allied Health Industry for over 10 years, the process of returning to this field after such a long absence was very daunting for me. But Tracy’s warm and friendly nature, in addition to the practical advice and guidance she provided me (i.e., putting together my resume; registering with a professional association) made it not only a pleasure to work with her, but made this process so much easier and stress free. I would highly recommend this company to anybody seeking advice and/or employment in the Allied Health field.

I have worked with Tracy across multiple occupational rehabilitation organisations, and Promising Potential has assisted with my recruitment needs during this time. Promising Potential has been fantastic at finding the right match candidates for me and my organisation, and has equally valued mine and the Candidate’s needs throughout the process. I have really appreciated their values focus, and I subsequently trust that Tracy will only supply good quality candidates who want to work with my organisation for the right reasons, and will subsequently be a star performer, cultural fit and long-term recruit. It is always about the right fit – there are no candidate bidding wars or changing candidate expectations.

I can not recommend Tracy and Promising Potential enough to businesses and employees, they are caring, passionate and professional. The support, prompt communication and follow up was impressive. It was 6 working days from applying for the job, working with Tracy via phone call and email, to be at an interview with a great values matched employer, to being offered the job. Such a fabulous experience, especially after reaching out and engaging with multiple other recruiters. Cannot thank them enough!!

Tracy, thank you so much for my beautiful gift, and more importantly going above and beyond and helping me secure a job. I know we have never met but you are one of the kindest people I have ever come across. I can’t tell you how much your kindness, care and support has meant to me! I may not have family in Australia, but meeting people like you makes me feel so supported.

You have such passion and love in providing support for thoes looking for a new job. I am really glad I went through your service to find a job.
Caro-Lee K
– Your consistency in being genuine, kind and truly wanting the best for me (and other applicants) made me feel very supported and at ease – (I never wanted to work through a recruiter because I had only heard negative things).
– The assistance with setting up my resume and guiding me with interview preparation was invaluable.
– The fact that you had a good idea of visa options and the process of registration with the OTC and AHPRA was helpful. Everything can feel very overwhelming if you have to ask a lot of different people to get the different parts of the puzzle.
– The fact that you are just an amazing human and that you went completely over and above to help and support us has meant so much. You have played such a big role in our journey and I would not want anyone else to take this journey without your expertise, input and kindness.
Rudo M

Your help in finding this position and the support you have given is phenomenal!

I have loved working with Promising Potential. From the first contact I have felt very well looked after by Tracy. Her responses are always prompt, extremely helpful and she has always gone above and beyond to make me feel cared for not only in my introduction to my employer but also in the big move internationally. Would 100% recommend promising potential to any candidate looking to make the leap.
Ashleigh v
My experience with Promising Potential has been amazing. I would highly recommend Tracy to anyone in the allied health sector looking to emigrate to Australia or New Zealand. She has been incredible, not only during the process but from 2 years beforehand and months after arriving in Australia. Everything about Tracy, is a personal investment into the journey and trying her best to help in every way possible, whether it is part of her job description or not. I honestly have no constructive feedback on how to improve going forwards as you are doing a great job. Thank you for everything Tracy.

I highly doubt there is any way to improve this well oiled machine in my eyes.
Pauline M
I am deeply grateful for the remarkable assistance provided by Promising Potential. With your help, my lifelong dream of working in Australia has become a reality. I vividly recall our initial conversation back in 2017, and here I am today. Tracy, I cannot express enough gratitude for your genuine care and support towards your clients. It brings me comfort to know that I can always rely on you, even if it means you have to sacrifice precious time with your own family. Your unwavering support from the very beginning of my journey, through all the ups and downs, is truly extraordinary. May God bless you and your family, forever cherishing your kindness.

My experience with Promising Potential has been truly unforgettable. From the moment I started seeking job opportunities, they provided me with exceptional support. They guided me through the entire process, ensuring that I had all the necessary paperwork in order. Whether it was updating my resume, preparing for interviews, or assisting with networking, Promising Potential was there every step of the way.
What sets Promising Potential apart is their amazing follow-up system. They genuinely care about the success of their candidates and maintain regular communication to ensure everything is going smoothly. They would schedule weekly to fortnightly check-ins, both when I was offshore and after I arrived onshore. These check-ins allowed me to discuss any concerns, seek guidance, and receive updates on potential job opportunities. The consistency and dedication they displayed were truly commendable.
In summary, my experience with Promising Potential has been exceptional. They provided unwavering support throughout my job-seeking journey, helped me with paperwork and visa processes, and maintained regular communication to ensure my success. I am grateful for their dedication and expertise, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of career guidance and support.

Working with Promising Potential has been a really good experience. Tracy has been helpful and really listened to what I was looking for. She went above and beyond to arrange an interview with a great company, exceptionally quickly. Any immigration and AHPRA and NZ registration questions I had, Tracy was able to help with. I would reccomend Promising Potential to all allied health professionals looking for a perfect work fit…

Promising potential has been amazing. From the welcome pack to the monthly check-ins, it always felt like i had a cheerleader in my midst! Helping me prepare for the interview was really helpful for my nerves. I can only be thankful to Tracy for encouraging me to take this opportunity, as i didn’t think i would ever work as a therapist again!
Amy B
Promising Potential has been absolutely incredible from the very start. I remember my very first call with Tracy, whilst I was just exploring my options. She provided just the right amount of support. No pressure, but just enough support. Tracy supported me throughout the journey. Once I arrived, she followed up every month to check in on how I had settled in. As well as sending an amazing welcome hamper. I’m so grateful for having had the experience I had with Promising Potential and would recommend them again and again.

Amazing! Tracy has been great in terms of follow-up, calm and collected process administration and has always been available for questions and queries – no matter how silly I felt they were. Even when it came to setting up on this side, the interest taken not just to me, but my family was really valued.
