Common Good Partners is a specialist recruitment agency founded by Dan Copping and Steve Guerin, who bring over 15 years of combined industry experience in construction and talent management. The agency takes a values-driven approach to connecting white collar professionals with construction projects shaping Australia's future, working closely with builders, contractors, consultancies, end users, design firms and developers to deliver recruitment solutions that are honest, responsive and tailored to each business. Common Good Partners offers three core service models: Retained Search for senior, hard-to-fill or confidential roles through market mapping and targeted headhunting; Contingent Recruitment for straightforward positions such as entry level, administrative or junior site-based roles; and Embedded Talent Solutions for companies securing major projects with multiple critical roles to fill.
