Is your current recruitment partner delivering what you need?

Are you receiving too many CVs, but too few genuinely suitable candidates from ?

Does  understand your business beyond the position description?

Does  provide a tailored recruitment strategy, or place your vacancy into a standard process?

  • Will your vacancy receive individual attention and direct consultant access?

    At people2people, the consultant who takes the brief remains close to the search, candidate conversations, salary resistance and interview feedback. That continuity matters when 82% of employers plan to recruit and replacement hiring is the largest driver. people2people was established in 2005 and operates as a 100% employee-owned business, reinforcing direct accountability for client outcomes.

  • Will the shortlist reflect your role, team and workplace?

    Our specialist teams recruit across accounting and finance, business support, HR, legal, government, marketing, property, sales, supply chain and technology. We assess the technical requirement, stakeholder environment and working conditions before presenting candidates. Job advertisements fell 6% while applications increased 6%, so higher application volume does not automatically mean a stronger shortlist.

  • Will you receive practical advice and visibility throughout the search?

    We use current candidate feedback and our annual Employment and Salary Trends Report to advise on salary, flexibility, availability and process risk. Employers receive direct updates on what has been searched, how the market is responding and what needs to change. Employer hiring confidence was 48% and job-seeker confidence 58%, so candidates may remain active even when an employer believes the process is progressing well.

  • Can the agency adapt across permanent, temporary and contract hiring while keeping candidates engaged?

    A permanent brief may require immediate temporary cover, a contract solution or a temp-to-perm pathway. We can move between those models without restarting the supplier conversation. Our capability material records 330+ employees supported across MSP accounts and more than 180 contractors within one CMO partnership.

  • Can national capability still deliver local accountability and support after placement?

    people2people combines a network of more than 1.35 million candidates and 13 offices across Australia, New Zealand and the UK with local Australian delivery teams. The relationship can also extend into payroll, contractor management, RPO, MSP, HR consulting and special projects. More than 80,000 job seekers have been placed through the wider group, giving our teams extensive experience managing notice periods, counteroffers and commencement risk.
