Luke Thompson

I am an ambitious professional Bodybuilder/trainer and ex NZ actor with a passion for helping people achieve their goals. Can be usually found at the beach with my two French Bulldogs or at the gym pumping some iron. After entering the recruitment space around 6 years ago I found a love for the industry have not looked back.

Jackson McNaughton

I'm a matamata-born farm kid (would you believe), easily entertained by all things fishing, adventure and music related. I studied psychology and criminology at Uni, and fell into recruitment as most seem to do! But after some time in the market, I feel privileged being able to do the work I do

I have known him to maintain a highly professional demeanour while being friendly and attentive to what I was looking for in my current role. He has a good understanding of the accounting industry and a good portfolio of clients with particularly good skills at pitching suitable candidates to employers. He kept in contact with me throughout the whole process and was good at providing me with timely advice. Would highly recommend him"

I have been working with Luke for a while now. All recruits that have come through his service have been excellent. Luke does all the leg work and is skilled at recommending candidates that will suit not only the role, but our company culture here at Gilligan Sheppard. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an intuitive, hard working recruiter.

Luke assisted me in finding a new role recently. I appreciate how he took time to understand my background and current position and tried his best to find the jobs that best suit my career development. Luke was great to work with and I’d highly recommend him to someone who is looking for jobs in the accounting industry.

Peiwen Senior Tax Consultant

Highly recommend Jackson and Luke. Complete A team! Most accountants have dealt with plenty of recruiters, but this was the first time I really felt understood, cared for and fought for. I wasn’t treated like a number that they had to place in order to get fees - they really wanted to make sure they found the right fit. And now, two years on, I’m still happy and thriving and feel like I have two new friends as a bonus
