Mick tells Bruno that his "assistant recently accepted a better offer at a marmalade factory". He means that his assistant took a job which likely paid more than her position at Delavigne Australia.
Towards the end of the dialogue, Bruno says to Mick: "I'm sure you'll recover quickly". In this context, "to recover" is synonymous with "to re-establish good business" or "to improve the general situation". The verb "to recover" is versatile in English: it can refer to someone who is recuperating from an illness, or it can express the sense of "regaining a former condition". "You'll recover" means "you'll get better" or "your situation will improve".
This statement is false. We know that Bruno has been to Australia because Mick brings back a boomerang from "the last time (Bruno) visited"
This statement is false. Bruno tells Mick: "I know that you have a solid staff working with you. You hand-picked most of them personally." Bruno is confirming that Mick "chose", "recruited" or "hired" most of his staff personally. "To hand-pick an employee" is to recruit and select them personally.
