Meet the Camerons: Double Trouble (in the Best Way) at D R Newitt

At D R Newitt, we're all about spotting talent - it's kind of what we do. So, when two exceptional individuals both named Cameron joined us at the same time, we didn’t see double… we saw potential (and a few admin headaches for the IT department). Meet Cameron Stewart and Cameron MacDonald, our latest recruits who, despite sharing a first name, bring their own distinct energy, ambition, and charm to the team.

Here’s a closer look at what makes each Cameron tick, and why we’re so excited to have them both on board.

Cameron Stewart: Stepping into Recruitment with Grit and Goals

Why recruitment – and why D R Newitt?
For Cameron Stewart, the appeal of recruitment lies in the ability to create your opportunities and take control of your success. It’s that entrepreneurial spirit that fits so well with our culture at D R Newitt. What sealed the deal? Our reputation in the market, and the success stories of our consultants. Who could resist?

Early surprises?
“The highs are very high… and the lows can be very low,” Cameron admits, highlighting the emotional rollercoaster that many new recruiters face. But he’s already learning how to stay steady and keep going, no matter the wave.

Breakthrough moment?
Securing that first confirmed interview was the turning point. It showed him that the gears were clicking, the learning was paying off, and he was heading in the right direction.

Three words to sum up the team culture?
Supportive. Aspirational. Social.
In Cameron’s words: “Everyone wants to help each other succeed… everyone’s trying their best… and it’s easy to switch off and be social after work.” We’ll take that as a glowing review of our balance between hard work and team fun.

Top tip for future recruiters?
Keep going – simple but vital advice. Recruitment isn’t for the faint-hearted, but those who persist are the ones who thrive.

What’s next?
He’s excited to build his own “business within a business” here, carving out his niche and establishing meaningful contacts in the market.

Cameron MacDonald: Driven by Passion, Powered by People

So, why recruitment? And why us?
For Cameron MacDonald, it’s all about autonomy and ambition. “It’s one of those rare careers where your rewards are directly tied to your effort,” he says - music to our ears. The chance to build something of his own within a well-established company like D R Newitt was a perfect fit.

Biggest surprise so far?
The personal satisfaction that comes with making things happen - placing candidates, landing clients, and making real connections. “There’s an incredible buzz,” he says - and we can confirm he’s already adding to the energy in the office.

When did it all start to click?
Managing his first major job end-to-end was the big lightbulb moment. Seeing a project through from start to finish gave him the confidence and clarity that he was on the right path.

Three words to describe the culture?
Supportive. Motivating. Fun.
There’s no hierarchy when it comes to helping each other out, and the energy is palpable. “This is genuinely a place I look forward to coming to work.” (We might just frame that quote, Cameron.)

Advice to newbies?
“Be a sponge.” Learn from everyone, ask questions, and take every chance to absorb knowledge. Recruitment’s a team sport, and there’s no better way to grow than by learning from those around you.

What’s ahead?
Cameron’s looking forward to building out his own desk and approach, with the perfect mix of freedom and guidance from the leadership team. “It’s the perfect balance of independence and mentorship.”

The Cameron Conundrum (and Why We’re Loving It)

Yes, we have two Camerons now. No, we haven’t started calling them by their surnames (yet). But whether you’re talking about Stewart or MacDonald, one thing’s clear - both bring an incredible work ethic, a hunger to grow, and a positive spark to our culture.

We’re proud to welcome them to the D R Newitt family, and while our email auto-complete may be having a minor crisis, the rest of us couldn’t be more excited about the double dose of talent.

So, here’s to the Camerons, and to what we’re sure will be a brilliant journey ahead.
