About the Organisation

Employment Office is not a traditional 'recruitment agency'. We are a Recruitment Solutions Provider - an expert in recruitment marketing. Our key strength lies in creating unique candidate attraction strategies that assist our clients to tap into the deepest talent pools. We are uniquely positioned in the recruitment marketplace, with clear, unique selling propositions to clients and an unparalleled service that ensures more than 95% repeat business. 

We provide an unbundled toolbox of recruitment solution options for our clients, one of which being our Shortlisting services. This includes screening of candidates through our online candidate management system (SCOUT), designing and conducting telephone interviews, behavioural testing, employment reference checks and the design and facilitation of Group Assessment Centre recruitment methodology.

After ten years of growth, we now have excellent market share across all industries, throughout Australia and beyond. EO currently has branches in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Vancouver and Toronto, and we're not stopping there! With Flight Centre as our joint venture partner (we are nothing to do with travel – we were Flight Centre Travel Group's first non-travel related business investment, forming a JV in January 2008), in the next 12 months we are scheduled for new offices nationally and overseas.
