Orbital People Ltd

Orbital People Ltd is a recruitment and staffing augmentation company that partners with senior executives, managers, and technology professionals across the globe to place exceptional freelance, contract, and permanent talent. Founded by Geoffrey Dunnett, who has worked as a recruitment professional since 1996, the company combines decades of experience working in both agency and in-house talent acquisition roles. Rather than simply matching candidates to vacancies, Orbital People positions itself as a problem solver and relationship builder, offering tailored solutions including in-house temp talent acquisition, part process pricing, pre-agreed fixed fees, agency ad hoc placements, retained fees for unlimited service, sliding scale placement fees, and retained searches.

Orbital People specialises in recruiting high-calibre talent across Information Technology, Industrial Automation and Robotics, Port and Terminal Automation, and Client Services sectors. The company works with world-class ports to deliver cutting-edge automation solutions, supports fast-growing startups and multinational companies in their technology recruitment needs, and assists organisations with automating repetitive manual processes through robotics expertise. Their team has successfully placed candidates with companies ranging from early-stage startups and established SMEs to global organisations, demonstrating deep sector knowledge and extensive industry networks.

Based in Sevenoaks, Kent, Orbital People operates globally with an additional office in Sydney, Australia, serving clients across multiple continents. The company's competitive advantage lies in its team's experience sitting on both sides of the recruitment table, combined with their specialised knowledge of Industry 4.0 sectors.
