Trojan Recruitment Group

What Trojan Recruitment Group does

Trojan Recruitment Group Pty Ltd is an Australian national recruitment company headquartered in Glebe, New South Wales, operating across Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and regional offices in NSW, Victoria and Queensland. Founded in 1989 and structured as a privately held company with 101-250 employees, the firm provides labour hire (temporary), contract and permanent placement services through industry-specialist consultant teams organised across eight verticals: Building & Construction, Defence, Engineering, Rail, Trades & Labour, Manufacturing & Industrial, Mining/Resources/Energy, and Transport/Warehousing/Logistics. The service portfolio extends beyond core recruitment into Managed Services, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and Consulting Services.

The company monetises through a mix of usage-based labour hire (hourly bill rates disclosed in the $31-$82/hr range plus superannuation), contract placement fees, and one-time permanent placement fees scaled to candidate salary. Ancillary revenue streams include managed-service arrangements, consulting and a dedicated Facilities Management sub-brand. Technology stack is deliberately lean and third-party: JobAdder for applicant tracking and job application processing, a self-service job board portal with login and timesheet functionality, an Employer Login/filesharing portal for client document exchange, and "Troy," a virtual recruiter chatbot that supports candidates through the initial application flow.

The operating model is sales-led with direct employer engagement via dedicated account managers and industry-specialist consultants, supported by online enquiry forms, a public job board for candidate self-service, email job alerts, and a "Refer a Mate" referral programme. The group operates three sub-brands: Trojan Rail, a specialist rail-industry recruitment division with over 20 years of Australian rail experience delivering accredited workforces and paid nationally recognised training through a partnership with Challenger Training (RTO# 91830); Trojan Training, focused on rail training pathways; and Trojan Facilities Management. The customer base includes named enterprise accounts across heavy industry, mining and manufacturing such as Liebherr, Orica, Schneider Electric, Bluescope, Electrolux, Kumho Tires, Cavpower, San Remo, B&D Doors, H-E Parts, Ingram Micro and Shred-X, alongside SMB hiring via the job board. The company holds membership in the Recruitment and Consulting Services Association (RCSA), the Australia/New Zealand industry body, and operates as the primary Australian private entity, Trojan Recruitment Group Pty Ltd.
