HR Partners

What HR Partners does

HR Partners is a specialist HR recruitment brand operating in Australia under Randstad Pty Limited (ABN 28 080 275 378), itself part of the globally listed Randstad N.V. group. Established for more than 25 years and headquartered in Sydney, the brand focuses on permanent placement, fixed-term contracts, and short-term contractor assignments for both specialist and generalist HR roles across all seniority levels, serving employers seeking HR talent and HR professionals seeking career opportunities. It is described as one of Australia's largest and most recognised HR recruitment brands and operates alongside sister brands Randstad Operational, Randstad Professional, Randstad Enterprise, and Randstad Digital within the Randstad Australia portfolio.

The core technology is an internal candidate database and recruitment technology platform, surfaced to users through the myRandstad candidate portal (with iOS and Android apps), the Employee Self Service portal for contractors, and a Salary Checker benchmarking tool. Distribution is anchored by a seven-city Australian branch network (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Tasmania) supplemented by online self-serve channels (Submit Vacancy, Request Callback) and enterprise direct sales for RPO and MSP engagements. The brand is complemented by supporting offerings including Workmonitor (annual workforce research across 34 markets), Recruitable (a federally funded disability employment pilot with Get Skilled Access), Inhouse Services, Volume/Project Recruitment, and Health and Return to Work Services.

HR Partners monetises through four revenue streams: permanent placement fees (one-time), temporary and contract staffing mark-ups (recurring), managed services programs (MSP/RPO), and enterprise advisory and outplacement services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by role seniority and engagement type; observed contractor roles are advertised in the AU$32-$53 per hour range. Marketing is multi-channel across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, content/blog, and email newsletters, and the firm is Great Place to Work Certified, a Best Workplaces for Women 2026 honoree, and a five-time finalist for Best Recruitment Agency in Australia.
