Policy and program recruitment is one of our core strengths. Every year, we place hundreds of professionals across government and private sectors in roles that influence change and deliver impact. From policy advisors to program leads, we find people who think strategically, act commercially, and challenge the status quo.

  • Strategic minds - Our candidates are big-picture thinkers who know how to turn ideas into action
  • Business-minded – We find professionals who balance public value with practical delivery
  • Diverse perspectives – we connect you with talent from varied backgrounds to bring fresh thinking to complex challenges
  • Fast, flexible hiring – whether it’s a short-term contract or a long-term tender, we move quickly to find the right fit
  • Proven across ANZ – we’ve placed hundreds of policy and program professionals across Australia and New Zealand
