mfg. Talent Partners is a boutique recruitment agency specialising in manufacturing sector recruitment across Australia. Founded in mid-2024 by Managing Partner Wendy Terry, Marketing Director Luana Howard, and Senior Advisory Partner Danny Boyle, the company delivers tailored recruitment and executive search solutions backed by over 60 years of combined manufacturing industry expertise.

mfg. Talent Partners specialises in recruitment across food and beverage, pharmaceutical, medical device, chemical, agriculture, engineering, packaging, consumer products, transport and logistics sectors. The agency recruits for specific functional areas including product development, quality assurance, operations, supply chain, procurement, commodities, and executive leadership roles. Their approach combines deep sector knowledge with hands-on consultancy, conducting on-site visits to understand client business culture and employee value propositions before identifying candidates.

The agency operates Australia-wide, serving businesses from small enterprises to large multinational companies. Clients choose mfg. Talent Partners for their commitment to complete immersion in client businesses, proactive candidate network building rather than job board reliance, and consistent post-placement support including extended guarantee periods. The boutique model allows the team to eliminate unnecessary corporate layers and focus resources entirely on client and candidate success, delivering candidate shortlists within 10 business days and offering six to eight month placement guarantees depending on service tier.
