C3Talent

C3Talent is a recruitment firm based in Brisbane that fills board, executive, management and corporate services roles. It was founded in 2018 by Peter Murphy and Kelly Howard, and James Muller joined in 2023. The three are directors and remain hands-on in their own recruitment assignments.

The company says it is industry agnostic and concentrates on the functions it recruits rather than on sectors. Its roles include board chairs and non-executive directors, chief executives and other C-suite positions, corporate services and operations roles including human resources, qualified accounting, and transactional accounting support and administration. It draws on knowledge of the Brisbane and Queensland market.

Its process starts with a consultation and a tailored Performance Profile, followed by research and outreach to active and passive candidates, behavioural interviewing, Hogan assessments for senior appointments where required, and support after placement. It reports that over 87% of its placements come from networks, referrals and targeted search, and that its leadership team has 75+ years of combined experience. It also says it runs a four-day working week and a team-based profit-sharing scheme instead of individual commissions.
