If you run a business in the Hunter, you already know how things are changing fast.
The region’s growing — new projects, expanding industries, and a strong sense of optimism about what’s ahead. But with that growth comes a familiar challenge: finding good people.

At Recruit Personnel, we’ve spent years helping local businesses build their teams — not just in trades and labour hire, but across the professional services space too. And I can tell you, it’s one of the busiest areas right now.

The Quiet Backbone of Every Business

When people think of recruitment, they often picture labour hire such as on-site or trade roles — and we love supporting those industries — but behind every successful operation is a group of professionals keeping things moving smoothly.

We’re talking about:

• Accounts and Finance Officers keeping the numbers straight.

• Executive and Administrative Assistants holding everything together.

• Project Officers and Estimators driving deadlines and outcomes.

• Bookkeepers, Payroll Officers, and Marketing & Communications staff supporting growth.

These are the roles that don’t always grab the spotlight, but they’re the backbone of any organisation — and demand for them has never been higher.

What We’re Seeing Across the Hunter

Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen the professional recruitment space really take off.
Local businesses across Newcastle, Maitland, and the Upper Hunter are looking for people who can grow with them — employees who are adaptable, tech-savvy, and ready to contribute from day one.

The reality is, with the Hunter’s unemployment rate hovering around 3–4%, the job market is tight. That means businesses can’t afford to wait. When a great candidate comes along, you need to move quickly — and that’s where we come in.

How We Help

We know this region — and we know its people.
Our team doesn’t just post ads and hope for the best. We talk to candidates, understand what they’re looking for, and match them with employers who value the same things.

Whether you’re hiring a Finance Officer, a Marketing Coordinator, or a Receptionist, we take the time to get it right — because finding the right cultural fit can be just as important as getting the right skill set.

A Local Approach That Works

I’ve always believed recruitment is about relationships, not transactions.
Our business was built on local connections — people recommending people, businesses coming back because they know we deliver.

At the end of the day, we’re proud to help Hunter businesses grow by finding staff who’ll stick around, contribute, and become part of the community.
