Arete Executive

Arete Executive is an executive search and recruitment firm with its head office in Brisbane, Australia. It recruits for professional, managerial, executive and board roles, and works with organisations that have internal HR or recruitment teams as well as those that do not. Its services include permanent recruitment and interim or fractional recruitment.

The firm uses a performance-based hiring method, writing a Performance Profile for each assignment in place of a traditional role description. It approaches active and passive candidates across Australia and internationally, and says it submits a screened shortlist within 20 working days of engagement. It also manages offers and negotiation, and carries out reference checks on successful candidates. Richard Triggs is the founder and CEO.

Arete Executive also offers career support for senior executives and runs a podcast. It serves clients throughout Australia and worldwide.
