The Partnership Group, Australia

Construction, engineering and nursing recruitment, from the floor to senior leadership. Owned personally by two Directors.

Built for markets where the wrong hire creates real operational risk. Every serious brief is owned by a Director who understands the work, the market and the pressure behind the vacancy. You speak directly with the person responsible for the outcome, not a generic desk.

Also: TPG Trades and Labour for casual trades and site crews in New South Wales, and TPG Safety for permanent health and safety roles.

Live roles

All roles

A deliberately narrow model

The Partnership Group is a specialist Australian recruitment agency focused on the markets where judgement matters most: nursing, construction, engineering, trades and facilities management. These are not markets where a generic desk, a loose database search or an advert only approach is enough. The right person needs the right technical background, the right compliance profile, the right setting fit and a clear reason to move.

TPG works where the wrong hire costs more than a fee. In nursing, the risk shows up in residents, patients, rosters, compliance and continuity of care. In construction and facilities, it shows up on site, in programme delays, safety requirements, client delivery and trade availability. That is why serious briefs are owned by the Director who understands the market.
