About Us

Christine Mileham – Principal Consultant

Christine started Sal Corp as a boutique human resource consulting firm in 1995, after a (very) short career in finance before moving into corporate performance management, training, development, human resources and industrial relations.

After assisting in the amalgamations team of one of the biggest bank mergers in Australia, Christine started her LG career with government instigated amalgamations and so was born a long-standing relationship in the sector, aided by a grasp of legislative requirements and an interest in law.

Though based in Melbourne, Sal Corp is known throughout the state for its long-term working history with regional and rural Victorians.

Christine’s passion is in executive recruiting, which stems from a personal interest in behaviours and psychology.  She enjoys finding the thread of an individual’s career drive and history via a variety of tools and methods (interview, discussions, psychometric assessments) to successfully match them to an organisation and culture. On occasions she has been known to call interviewing, speed dating except without the romance….usually!

Sal Corp also undertakes a number of other projects such as executive reviews (annual, performance management and development) workplace investigations (e.g. complaints, eo, bullying, sexual harassment), industrial and workplace relations projects such as organisations realignments and structural changes, positions description assessments, and varying projects such as salary benchmarking, cultural and health checks, team workshops.

Christine has a broad network in the industry and utilises the specialist skills of other consultants to supplement her skill set and  resources, so that you get the best support.

Christine’s hobbies include nature and travel and she has enjoyed an arctic expedition to see polar bears, Alaska to see the aurora borealis and the salmon feasting brown bears, white water rafting in Canada, skiing Europe and America, and safaris in Africa.
