Momentum Consulting

What Momentum Consulting does

Momentum Consulting Group Pty Ltd is an Australian workforce management and recruitment services firm headquartered in Sydney, founded in 1999 by John Patrick. The company places candidates across temporary, contract, and permanent engagements on behalf of employer clients, with a service portfolio covering one-off hires, bulk recruitment campaigns, onsite workforce management, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), and Master Vendor managed services under its 'Workforce by Design' sub-brand. It operates across nine vertical divisions: Business & Executive, Legal, State & Federal Government, Trades/Engineering/Automation, Building & Construction, Distribution & Logistics, Industrial & Manufacturing, and Healthcare, with dedicated Momentum Healthcare and Momentum Legal sub-brands serving pharmaceuticals, medical devices, law firms, and in-house counsel teams.

The company monetises through professional service fees (negotiated, not publicly disclosed) on placements, with candidate hourly wages of AU$31-$65 representing underlying payroll rather than the firm's service fee. There is no proprietary technology platform; the website and job portal run on Volcanic recruitment website technology, and partnerships with Study Connection Australia and Drug Safe Australia support candidate sourcing and workplace compliance respectively. The company maintains ISO 9001 quality certification and holds approved panel supplier status with NSW State Government and Australian Federal Government agencies. Distribution combines a self-serve online job portal (22 active listings weighted toward Distribution & Logistics and Trades), direct enterprise sales, and government panel participation across NSW, Queensland, Victoria, and Western Australia.
