Vision and mission

Our vision

Imagine if everyone found work that was more suited to their abilities, more in line with their motivations and helped them balance their lifestyle, continue learning, progress further and earn to their potential, wouldn’t we each lead better lives?

We believe we can achieve this in 3 ways:

Our Colleagues
Creating great opportunities for ourselves, so we can lead better lives.

Our Clients
Doing great work for our clients, so they can lead better lives.

Our Candidates
Helping candidates find great work, so they can lead better lives.

Our mission

#1 low cost recruitment service in Australia

From its humble beginnings, Recruit Shop has always set out to be a fierce competitor in the recruitment industry. Fourteen years on and thousands of placements later, we’ve made our mark as a new-age disruptor to traditional agencies. With our innovative low-cost model and passion for helping out the little guys, there’s no stopping us; we want to be the preferred choice for low-cost recruitment in Australia and New Zealand among small and medium-sized businesses.

Recruit ‘green’

Minimising travel

We provide a remote service to all our clients that requires very little tangible resources. We work in suburban offices and recruit staff locally. So, we rarely drive or fly to clients, we don’t require clients or candidates to come to us, our staff avoid extensive commutes and we transport very few goods or materials.

Eco friendly office

We work from a modern, eco friendly building designed for minimal environmental impact. Our office is proud to be Australia’s first strata building to commit to a 5-Star Australian Greenhouse Rating. For us, that comes at the costs of a couple of creature comforts like hot water in the kitchen, but we manage!

Renewable energy

A simple step – we purchase renewable energy in the form of wind, solar and other renewable sources to provide 100% of the electricity to our business.

We cannot recommend Miles at Recruit Shop highly enough. He was relentless in his efforts to help us find the right person and a good communicator throughout the process.

We worked with James from Recruit Shop who helped find very suitable candidates for our role. The process was great and we will use these services again when hiring for similar roles.

At KIN, we use Recruit Shop for all of our recruitment needs across several companies within the KIN family. Lisa has been fantastic to work with — she consistently sends through strong candidates and is proactive in keeping in touch, even when a role is not running as hot. Lisa is always professional, approachable, and responsive, making the recruitment process smooth and efficient. Her ongoing communication and understanding of our business needs are greatly appreciated, and we value the relationship we have built with her over time. We would highly recommend Lisa and Recruit Shop to any business seeking reliable and professional recruitment support.

Dealing with James from the Recruitshop was a great experiance James went above and over what someone would expect to fill the role of a spare parts interpreter, James kept in touch with updates and progress, his dedication to fill the role was excellent. The canidate he found for us is preforming well and would have been impossible without the Recruitshop as i have tried many other Reruitment agencys for the same position. I would recommend James and the Reruitshop at the highest level he was professional, organised and provided excellent customer service thanks James
