Lydia Overton

A bit about me

I like to think of myself as a recruitment success story. After studying Media and Marketing at Victoria University, I found it difficult to discover a career that I had a true passion for. During a standard registration interview with Madison, I met my previous manager Owen and luckily, he saw the recruiter in me. Shortly after I was offered a temporary role here at Madison, which has since turned into a career in recruitment.

Now, as a Senior Consultant in the Business Support team, I specialise in Business Services recruitment across all sectors in Wellington. A big focus of my role is supporting my team and manager any way I can to consistently improve our processes and outcomes.

What I find most rewarding is building strong relationships with both candidates and clients, and the challenge of matching the right person to the right role.

If you’re interested in getting in touch, please reach out – I’d love to discuss how we can work together.

“Lydia is awesome at picking up on people’s skill sets (regardless of how niche they might be) and finding opportunities for them to apply these in a more mainstream work environment. She is a fantastic communicator, and I look forward to working with her more often!” – Candidate
