Investigo - Built on Experience with Sharna Barrett

​Joining a new business always comes with a mix of excitement and nerves — and for Sharna, the last four months at Investigo have been exactly that, in the best possible way.
Sharna joined Investigo after building solid foundations in recruitment and knowing she wanted to be somewhere that offered more than just a role — somewhere she could genuinely grow, be supported, and feel part of something ambitious. From the outset, it was the people and the culture that stood out most.

“From my first conversations, it felt different. Everyone was open, honest, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed — not just hit numbers.”

A Supportive Start:

Starting a new role can often feel overwhelming, but Sharna describes her onboarding experience as structured, supportive, and welcoming. From day one, she felt encouraged to ask questions, lean on experienced colleagues, and take the time to really understand her market.

Rather than being thrown in at the deep end, she was given the space to build confidence — with the reassurance that support was always there.

“There’s a real emphasis on learning properly. People want you to do well long-term, not just fast.”

What’s Been Key to Early Success:

For Sharna, the biggest contributors to her progress so far have been:

•Access to knowledgeable, supportive leaders

•A collaborative team culture

•Clear expectations, without micromanagement

She highlights how approachable everyone is — from peers to senior leadership — and how comfortable she feels asking for advice or feedback.

“You never feel like you’re on your own here. Everyone wants to share what they know.”

What Feels Different About Investigo?

When asked what truly sets Investigo apart, Sharna comes back to the culture again and again. There’s a strong sense of trust, autonomy, and shared ambition — without the pressure or ego that can sometimes exist in recruitment.

“It’s high-performing, but it’s human. People celebrate each other’s wins and genuinely care.”

She also notes how refreshing it is to work in an environment where values are lived day-to-day, not just written on a wall.

Looking Ahead

At just four months in, Sharna already feels excited about what’s next. She’s focused on continuing to build her desk, deepen her market knowledge, and take advantage of the development opportunities around her.

“I can actually see a long-term future here, which is something I really wanted in my next move.”

For anyone thinking about joining Investigo, Sharna’s advice is simple:

“If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be supported, challenged, and genuinely valued — this is it. Be open, ask questions, and back yourself. The rest will follow.”
