Start In Recruitment

Start In Recruitment is a specialist recruitment to recruitment agency operating from Sydney since 2018. The company places recruitment professionals, from first desks through to general managers and agency directors, into recruitment agencies across Australia and New Zealand. Start In Recruitment specialises exclusively in moving recruiters between agencies, handling consultants, billers, team leads, managers and senior leadership, rather than placing end candidates. The agency operates under the Start Group master brand and has established itself as Australia's most connected rec to rec consultancy, winning the NSW Rec2Rec Agency of the Year award three times consecutively in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Start In Recruitment focuses on six core recruitment sectors where it maintains deep market knowledge. The agency places specialists in tech and SaaS roles covering contract, permanent, sales and engineering positions. Finance and banking recruitment includes front-office, risk, compliance and accounting roles across ASX-listed and boutique firms. Legal recruitment covers private practice, in-house and partner moves for specialist desks only. Executive search handles general manager, director and partner-level moves at boutique and private equity-backed agencies. Construction and property recruitment specialises in white-collar desks, project management, quantity surveying and development roles from tier-one through boutique firms. Healthcare and life sciences recruitment encompasses clinical recruitment, nursing, allied health and pharmaceutical commercial positions. The agency also places government and public sector recruiters working with panel-listed agencies.

Start In Recruitment operates across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, with its headquarters in Sydney at Level 6, 333 George Street. The company serves four distinct client segments through specialised focuses: Start In Recruitment for career-changers and graduates entering the industry, Start In Australia for UK and Irish recruiters relocating to Australian agencies with visa sponsorship support, Start Training offering six to twelve month retainers for agency owners with no success fees, and the forthcoming Start Automation and AI consultancy for vendor-neutral process optimisation.
