Dedication to us, is about being completely devoted to our task or purpose. To be fully present in the moment with energy, passion and intent for the best outcome possible.
It is the power that motivates us — what drives us in the morning even when the coffee machine isn’t working and to answer that last phone call in the evening when it’s past 5 o’clock. We are hard-working and loyal.

STEPHANIE WHITE
SENIOR ASSOCIATE & 2IC TO DIRECTOR
Stephanie took the leap from legal practice into legal recruitment in 2014 and has worked closely alongside Di ever since. Today she holds a dual role at DiMention Recruitment as Senior Associate Recruiter and 2IC to the Director — the senior voice in the team after Di herself.
As 2IC, Stephanie partners with Di on the strategic direction of the business and carries day-to-day oversight across the wider team. She mentors and guides DiMention's recruiters, acts as the escalation point on complex placements and sensitive client matters, and contributes to quality assurance across the firm's work — helping ensure the DiMention Difference is upheld on every brief.
As a Senior Associate Recruiter, Stephanie continues to work directly with law firms across the Brisbane and Gold Coast markets, placing both Legal Support and Legal Professional staff from junior level through to senior appointments. She has an in-depth knowledge of both markets and a consistently high success rate in sourcing, assessing and securing the right talent.
Her credibility with clients and candidates is grounded in her own legal career. Stephanie holds a Bachelor of Laws with Honours from James Cook University and a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice from the College of Law. She worked as an Assistant to Barristers-at-Law across multiple areas of law during her studies, and gained first-hand experience in private practice and, post admission, In-House. That practitioner's lens means she reads a brief from the inside — from fee-earner requirements through to the day-to-day realities of support staff roles.
When you engage Stephanie, you are working with a senior recruiter who understands your legal and commercial requirements in depth — and who stands behind the quality of every placement DiMention delivers.
“I have found both Di and Stephanie from DiMention Recruitment go above and beyond in assisting us with our employment needs. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.”

JOSE BARRETO
SENIOR ASSOCIATE
After completing a Double Degree in Business and Law at Griffith University, Jose developed a passion for the Legal industry, Recruitment and Human Resources (HR). He has been working in recruitment since 2021 and joined DiMention Recruitment in 2023.
Jose gained valuable insight into the inner workings of a law firm through his previous experience in legal support roles. This experience has helped Jose understand the needs of both candidates and clients and become familiar on a firsthand basis with legal systems, processes and software.
Jose then began his professional career in a HR and Learning & Development (L&D) role before moving into a recruitment position. He specialises in recruiting for Legal, HR and Public Practice Accounting positions (both support and professional roles) and is excited to continue building his career in these industries. Specialising in Legal recruitment has allowed him to combine his two areas of interest into a fulfilling career.
Jose believes in a personable and down-to-earth approach to recruitment. He enjoys developing long-lasting relationships and is always eager to help.
KELLY MACLEOD
SENIOR ASSOCIATE
Kelly joined DiMention Recruitment in April 2021 and has since progressed into her current role as Senior Associate, placing legal professional and legal support talent across the Brisbane and Gold Coast markets.
Kelly partners with law firms ranging from boutique practices through to top-tier and in-house legal teams — sourcing, assessing and placing talent that fits both the technical demands of a role and the culture of the firm behind it. She has built particular depth across legal support staff and early-to-mid career legal professionals and collaborates closely with Stephanie and Di on technical assessment and on more senior or confidential searches.
Prior to legal recruitment, Kelly built a commercial career in senior stakeholder management, account management and business development across media, hospitality and professional services, following a Bachelor of Communications from Bond University. That background gives her a natural fluency in how firms position themselves, how to run a thoughtful briefing conversation, and how to guide a candidate through the commercial realities of a career move.
Having navigated several considered career moves of her own, Kelly genuinely understands what it feels like to weigh up an opportunity. She listens carefully to what candidates want from their next role, and is equally honest when a position is right — or when it is worth holding out for something better aligned.
Known for clear, responsive communication and a warm, considered style, Kelly treats every placement as the start of a long-term relationship rather than a transaction. When you work with Kelly, you can be confident you'll be kept properly informed, advocated for at every stage, and supported well beyond the offer.

OUR BRAND VALUES
To Nurture is to Flourish
Nurturing emotional relationships are the most crucial primary foundation for both intellectual and social growth. This is vital to maximise future well-being — to be in a vigorus state where all parties can thrive. To flourish means to be in your prime, to be at the height of your excellence and influence.
A Good Reputation Never Hurt Anyone
It belongs to US and it belongs to YOU. Our Reputation is so important because it is a reflection of our impact and influence. A Good Reputation harnesses higher trust and lowers risk. We help build YOUR reputation because Firms with strong positive reputations simply attract better people.
The Power of Diverse Thinking
We harness diversity - both in our people and in our thinking. This uniquely enables us to find solutions to difficult problems because we constantly seek new opportunities. In doing so, we exceed expectations and tackle challenges with greater passion.
As Divergent Thinkers, we not only look at ‘facts’ in our solutions but combine this with ‘ideas’ and ‘possibility’. We shift to a mindset that has a broader outlook and approach while always enthusiastic to learn.
Humour is an Essential Life Skill
Law is serious enough, so we don’t have to be all the time! Studies have shown that a sense of humour can improve your mental and physical health, boost your attractiveness, and improve your leadership skills.
At DiMention Recruitment, we believe in Quality of Life. We encourage people to be themselves— not to take yourself too seriously.
