Government & public sector recruitment

We help government departments deliver with the right people.

WHAT WE DO


From short-term advisory roles to complex capital works programs, we recruit across government’s most critical delivery areas.

We recruit skilled professionals and leaders for all tiers of government, local, state and federal, and understand the pressures of public sector hiring, from probity and procurement to media risk and delivery mandates. Our candidates understand stakeholder scrutiny, policy nuance, and the importance of visible results. Whether it’s a confidential appointment or a multi-year program, we help you make the hire that matters. We partner with local councils and regional authorities to support planning, infrastructure and community programs. We help state departments and statutory agencies secure talent in policy, service delivery, and capital works. We work with federal bodies on long-term initiatives and high-profile national programs, and we support government-owned corporations with leadership and project-based appointments. We also recruit for Tier 1 consultancies delivering government-funded projects, ensuring alignment to governance, scope and stakeholder expectation at every level.
