Bio
Sonia, our GM of Talent, leads her team in building meaningful relationships and providing valuable resources to support our job seekers and employers throughout their careers. With over two decades of recruitment experience, she has worked with diverse clients, from large corporates to startup and scaling tech businesses, recruiting across various roles including Product Management, Design, Software Engineering, and Digital Marketing.
In her current role, Sonia oversees a team of Fixies made up of tech recruiters, a Community Manager, and a Growth Marketing Manager. She leads her team as they proactively support the entire customer lifecycle through job opportunities, events and content. The through line between these individuals? Their role in connecting to customers in experimental, creative and innovative ways.
If you’re going to work with Sonia, you should know she approaches challenges with kindness, enthusiasm, and a dry sense of humour, excelling in complex situations with attention to detail and high-quality work. Believing in an equitable and transparent recruitment process, Sonia coaches and represents individuals with an accurate narrative. She takes pride in her contribution to scaling companies and increasing diversity, including supporting women in engineering teams.
Outside of work, you’ll find her sharing her mum’s traditional Italian recipes and showcasing her excellent caramel slice-making skills. While their three kiddos keep her and her husband busy, any free time she can sneak in is sure to consist of a good ol’ walk & podcast listening session.
Not only did affix go out of their way to understand our engineering and company culture – they became a part of it.
It’s hard to imagine us reaching the growth and diversity outcomes that we did without affix’s willingness and ability to be agile, creative, and to learn with us along the way.

affix will find you the right person. We chose to partner with them due to their specialisation in the digital space. Their services came highly recommended.
affix made me feel listened to. They respected my time and understood my desire to find the right culture fit; which can be hard to do, on top of the specialised skills we’re seeking.
Richenda Vermeulen
Ntergrity, Founder + CEO
Working with affix has been a great experience! They truly got to know our company and culture, and took the time to really understand the requirements, resulting in a great pipeline of talent.
I would recommend affix because, more than any other agency I’ve worked with, they genuinely feel like part of your team.
Bee Hepburn
Roller, Chief People Officer
If you’re considering working with affix, do it. We’re not a tech business, so we would not have been able to attract top talent in this field without affix’s help.
affix really wanted to understand our team culture, which gave me confidence they would help us to find a great fit. They helped shape and define the new role, and came to the table with loads of ideas and suggestions!
Elizabeth Howells
The Commons, COO
We’ve worked with affix for more than 7 years, and it now feels like we are all family. affix recruited talent across our whole tech team and they are performing brilliantly!
affix have never let us down. They’ve always found us great people and their startup-friendly cost structure has allowed us to concentrate on running our business, ultimately helping Fillr to flourish.
Chad Stephens
Fillr, Co-Founder
I would definitely work with affix again.
They appointed me and helped us recruit critical leaders within our business.
Blake Hutchison

affix have always felt like an extension of our own business and have always provided great results. They really get to know your business and people needs.
