Capability HR

Capability HR is a specialist recruitment consultancy based in Sydney that focuses exclusively on the Human Resources profession. It was established in 2016 and places HR professionals into permanent roles, mainly at mid and senior level, from advisor up to director.

The roles it recruits for include HR generalist and people and culture, learning and development and organisation development, employee relations and industrial relations, remuneration and benefits, and internal recruitment and talent acquisition. All assignments are run as a search, which the company says is usually priced below a traditional contingent fee, with either a fixed fee or a percentage of salary. Candidates are sourced from its network, a database of registered passive candidates, LinkedIn, direct approaches, referrals and targeted advertising.

Searches are handled personally by Matt, who has over 20 years of recruitment experience, the last thirteen of them focused on HR in Sydney. The company reports more than 500 HR hires and says it provides a shortlist in one to two weeks, with a typical vacancy filled in three to four weeks.
