ABOUT HARDYGROUP (HG)

Established in 1989, HG has grown to become one of Australia and New Zealand’s most trusted and successful partner agencies, specialising in Executive Search and Recruitment │ Executive Learning Sets │ Executive Leadership Development Programs.  

Our business model incorporates two distinct yet synergistic arms.

This powerful integrated business model ensures we are at the forefront of trends in the sectors we serve and have trusted networks to support sourcing high-calibre candidates.

GROWTH AND DIVERSIFICATION

In Australia we have concentrated on diversifying our portfolio in health and human services, including public and private health, disability, aged care, mental health, community health and primary care. We are delighted with our progress to date and work at a federal, state and territory level.

In New Zealand we have been diversifying our portfolio across the broader public service, including environmental protection, taxation, treasury, education, women affairs, internal affairs, ethnic communities, welfare, child protection, injury and accident compensation.

WE ARE ON THE MOVE

Based on our success in New Zealand we are now turning our attention to growing our public sector search profile in Australia. While early days we are encouraged by the material searches we have secured to date in environmental protection, parliamentary services and child protection. Because of that we now want to invest more in our future.

Perhaps this is where you come in?
