We are excited to officially launch Capital Recruit’s Executive Search offering. We have been recruiting in the executive space for some time and have now formalised our offering with our dedicated Principal Consultants leading the charge.
For Clients
Understanding your needs beyond the position you are looking to fill, allows us to manage your process holistically. In many cases, we will have worked with you previously on non-executive positions, so we likely know you and your organisation have already developed key insights into your values, culture, and risks. For those we don’t know, we will take the time to sit down with you and fully understand your need, organisation, team, and you.
We understand senior hires are critical for your organisation or department and we are here to provide a robust and thorough service, so you make the best choice out of the talent available.
Managing and upholding our client’s reputation is important, and part of our role is to manage your brand in the market; as a result, our exceptional candidate management is key to your process. We will consult with you about the potential risk of delays or less than optimal recruitment outcomes, particularly in this candidate tight market.
We work to create long-lasting relationships to build a depth of knowledge allowing us to place the best talent.
For Candidates
Our mission is to understand your long-term career and personal goals, which help us to better place you in a position and workplace that benefits you beyond the current role and into your future.
We value your time and the need for prompt and timely advice, aiming to answer any enquiries and questions for candidates in a current recruitment process on the same day (if possible), keeping each applicant updated throughout the recruitment journey. We provide honest and constructive feedback to all candidates to support them to demonstrate their expertise to its fullest in any recruitment process. We also offer relevant coaching and connect people with other resources where needed.

Why Capital Recruit?
Recruitment is a standardised process which can make it difficult to decide on a preferred recruitment partner. What makes us stand out from other recruitment agencies specialising in executive search and recruitment is our people, relationships, and flexible approach to the process.
We pride ourselves on being down to earth and part of our process is getting to know our candidates and clients beyond their role. This is beneficial for all parties in the recruitment process as it implements the right fit for the organisations and departments, instilling trust, productiveness, and strong culture in the workplace.
Part of relationship building is the ability to deliver honest feedback and provide expert guidance and consulting advice where required. We approach each process with flexibility and tailor each recruitment process to your needs, whilst still maintaining best practice in each stage of the recruitment journey.
Capital Recruit is a locally owned and operated Canberra business with national reach and search capabilities. We work with you on a tailored approach that will best suit your needs. This can be extremely helpful for businesses, organisations, and individuals tasked with the hiring project who have a full schedule, an unusual business structure or atypical hiring management.
