Sally Mlikota is the Managing Director of CBC Staff Selection, specialising in executive and senior professional recruitment while mentoring her team. She thrives on building confidence in candidates, helping them showcase their skills, and supporting businesses to attract high-performing teams. Known for her direct and results-driven approach, Sally’s ability to think outside the box often uncovers hidden talent others might overlook.

Passionate about team culture, Sally embraces CBC’s “work hard, play hard” philosophy — celebrating successes together, whether at the Cairns Cup or tackling high-ropes challenges. Her most rewarding moments come from seeing the lasting impact of her work, like when a candidate told her, “You changed my life.”

Beyond CBC, Sally is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD), and on the local regional forum, she is a member of the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI).  Sally served two years on the Board of the Recruitment, Consulting & Staffing Association (RCSA) for Australia and New Zealand and remains involved on various sub-committees including Chair of the Professional Practice Committee, driving excellence in recruitment. She has also contributed to the local business community as a past President of the Cairns Business Women’s Club (CBWC) and Cairns Chamber of Commerce (CCoC), where she remains Chair of the Finance Audit Risk & Governance Sub-Committee.
