— GOOD MEASURE RECRUITMENT
I’m Dayna Stewart. An experienced Talent & Acquisition specialist passionate about connecting people. Software can sort CVs, but it can’t spot transferable skills or tell you who will thrive in your team. I do that part in person, from first brief to first day, and I stay in touch well after it.

Every search starts with a conversation.
01
Listen
I take the time to understand your business, your team and what success really looks like in the role.
02
Learn
I turn what I hear into a clear picture of who will thrive, including the transferable skills a job description misses.
03
Search
From there I build a targeted search and approach people individually. It works the same way for an executive appointment as for a specialist hire.
— WHAT I DO
Permanent recruitment and search, with your employer story built in.
Most agencies are transactional and fill a brief. I start by understanding your business and the story you tell candidates, because that story decides who says yes and who stays long-term.
Permanent recruitment
End-to-end recruitment for a single hire or a run of appointments. I source proactively, assess properly and give you a considered shortlist, not a pile of CVs.
Search
For the roles that matter most, a dedicated search: mapping the market, approaching people individually and giving you a candid read on who is out there and what it will take to bring them across. Every appointment deserves care and attention, regardless of role level or seniority.
Your employer story
Part of every search. I work with founders, your People or Talent team to sharpen how you describe the role, the team and the business, so the right people see why they should move. You keep it after the hire.
Executive and leadership appointments, plus specialist and senior hires across go-to-market, marketing, commercial, operations, product and creative. I work with scaleups, high-growth businesses and established firms going through change.
— HOW I WORK
What you can count on.
If you’re hiring
You deal with me from first brief to accepted offer.
I start work the day we agree to the brief.
You’ll see your first candidates within 7 business days.
Most roles filled within 3 weeks from candidate introduction
You’ll hear from me regularly, with an honest read of the market, not just status updates.
If you’re a candidate
You’ll hear back within 48 hours of being put forward for a role.
You’ll be fully prepared before every interview.
You’ll hear from me within 24 hours of every interview, even if the client hasn’t decided yet.
It’s not about more CVs. It’s about better conversations, better decisions and better outcomes.
— ABOUT
Experience matters. People matter more.
I started my career at a boutique agency, then spent a decade at a specialist digital and technology agency, where I led digital and data recruitment across APAC and later became General Manager. More recently I’ve recruited go-to-market teams for high-growth companies and helped founder-led businesses shape their employer story.
Good Measure exists because recruitment is losing its human side. Employers lean on software to filter CVs, and candidates send AI-written applications in bulk. Somewhere in the middle, nobody stops to look at the person: the transferable skills, the potential, whether they would thrive in your team. That’s the work I do. Technology helps me move quickly, but a person makes the call.

Dayna is an absolute pleasure to work with. I’ve been both a candidate and a client for Dayna and can testify to her integrity, passion and commitment to both sides of the recruitment coin.
Dan O’Brien — Managing Director & Partner, Frontier Australia
“
If it’s a digital specialist you need, look no further than Dayna. She understands the smallest of nuance… and builds enduring relationships with high calibre talent.
Darren Foord — Recruitment Business Partner
“It is rare to come across a recruiter with the kind of positive attitude and genuine professionalism that Dayna brings to every conversation. She is incredibly sharp, refreshingly direct, and always clear when setting expectations… She genuinely takes the time to understand what you are looking for rather than simply pushing a role.”
Niranjana, Account Director
“I really appreciated the time she took to understand my background properly and ask thoughtful questions, rather than taking a transactional approach. Her communication was consistent and clear throughout.”
Adele, Brand Manager
“Back to the good old days of an agent who cares. Best in a long while.”
Grant, Content Experience Manager
— FOR CANDIDATES
