Resources Group

What Resources Group does

Resources Group is a privately held specialist recruitment consultancy founded in 1994 and headquartered in Sydney, Australia, with a second office in London, United Kingdom. The firm focuses exclusively on the research, data, analytics, and marketing strategy talent markets, placing candidates from entry-level through senior director roles within market research agencies, insights consultancies, and client-side insights functions across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the broader APAC region. Its enterprise client base includes large international MR firms such as Nature, IRI, GWI, Ipsos, Hall & Partners, TRA, and Quantum, alongside mid-market specialist boutiques.

The company's core offering is permanent placement recruitment delivered through a sales-led, consultative model in which individual senior consultants engage directly with both employers and candidates. Underlying technology consists of a recruitment platform and job board hosted on volcanic.cloud infrastructure, used to publish roles, source candidates, and manage applications; there are no proprietary software products, APIs, or AI features. Beyond placement, Resources Group sells an add-on consultancy module covering salary and benefits benchmarking, employer branding and EVP, hiring strategy and candidate experience, market insights, and diversity and inclusion advisory, positioning the firm as more than a transactional agency.

Revenue is generated through professional-services placement fees on successful permanent hires, with pricing quoted per engagement rather than publicly disclosed. The firm employs between 11 and 50 staff, is independently owned with no disclosed parent company or institutional investors, and maintains no standalone software or technology licensing revenue. Distribution is primarily direct via consultant relationships, the company website job board, and an active LinkedIn presence.

Regional players

• Peoplebank: ANZ-based specialist recruiter placing technology, digital, data, and research professionals. Comparable in niche specialization and ANZ focus but less prominent in the UK market.
• Davidson: Australian specialist recruitment firm covering marketing, digital, research and communications roles primarily in ANZ. Comparable in vertical focus but does not have the UK/Europe reach of Resources Group.

Broad incumbents

• Robert Half: Global listed specialist staffing and consulting firm operating across ANZ and the UK with dedicated marketing, research and analytics practices. Comparable in enterprise client base and specialist positioning but at greater scale.
• PageGroup (Michael Page): Global listed recruitment group with marketing, insights, and HR specialisms in Sydney and London. Comparable because they place mid-to-senior marketing and research professionals into agency and brand-side teams, though operating as a generalist across many functions.
• Hays: Global listed recruitment firm with broad coverage including dedicated insights, marketing, and research practices across ANZ and the UK. Comparable because they compete for the same enterprise research hiring mandates, but at significantly larger scale and with a generalist rather than specialist brand.
