Finding good people is hard.
Finding a good recruiter? Sometimes even harder.
If you're a business owner in Adelaide trying to fill roles quickly and properly - without spending weeks chasing resumes - choosing the right recruitment agency is everything.
Here’s what to look for when choosing a recruitment agency in Adelaide, and why hundreds of South Australian businesses choose to work with HJ Recruitment.
Adelaide’s job market is shifting fast. Between a growing manufacturing sector, skilled trade shortages, and the rise of tech and logistics roles, there’s more hiring pressure than ever.
Recruitment agencies help you:
The right agency feels like a partner. The wrong one feels like dead weight.
If you're comparing options, here’s what separates the good from the average.
Choose a recruiter that actually knows Adelaide’s industries. From engineering to admin, HVAC to civil works - local knowledge matters.
You want more than a resume. Look for agencies that screen properly -checking skills, licences, references, and work ethic.
You should never be left wondering what’s going on. Good recruiters keep you in the loop from day one.
You need staff fast - but not at the cost of hiring the wrong person. The best recruiters balance both.
Every business is different. A quality recruitment agency will get to know your goals, not just your job description.
A local Adelaide manufacturer came to us needing 5 mechanical fitters in 10 days. Their production was scaling, but their current recruiter couldn’t keep up.
Within 7 days, we placed all five roles - fully screened, trade-tested, and onboarded. The client was able to hit their delivery goals and even expand into a second shift.
We still work with them today.
We’re not a resume factory. We’re not trying to be everything to everyone.
At HJ Recruitment, we’re focused on helping South Australian businesses find great people in:
We’re based in Australia, understand the local market, and move fast when you need us.
If you’re looking for a recruitment agency in Adelaide that delivers results - not just resumes - we’d love to connect.
