The Hunt

The Hunt is a boutique recruitment company founded by Nicole, a seasoned talent professional with over 15 years of experience partnering with global brands and founder-led businesses. The company specialises in strategic recruitment, talent projects and embedded hiring partnerships, operating on the belief that recruitment should feel like a partnership rather than a transaction. Nicole takes a thoughtful, honest and commercially focused approach to every search, taking time to understand each business's culture, ambitions and long-term vision before identifying candidates who will create lasting impact.

The Hunt works primarily with wellness, lifestyle and purpose-led consumer brands, supporting them through key hires, team building during growth phases, and ongoing talent advisory. The company offers three core services: strategic recruitment for founder-led businesses seeking exceptional people; dedicated recruitment support for businesses opening new locations or scaling rapidly; and embedded talent partnership arrangements where The Hunt becomes an extension of the client's business, providing workforce planning and hiring expertise as they grow.

Based on the Mornington Peninsula, The Hunt partners with growing brands across Australia. Clients choose The Hunt for its strategic approach, clear processes, transparent communication and ability to unpack business needs with precision. The company has built a reputation for delivering candidates who align with client culture and business objectives, with founder and director testimonials highlighting Nicole's exceptional ability to understand nuances and execute seamless hiring processes.
