RGF Staffing ANZ

What RGF Staffing ANZ does

RGF Staffing ANZ Pty Ltd is a multi-brand recruitment and workforce-solutions provider operating across Australia and New Zealand, serving approximately 3,500 enterprise, mid-market, and government clients through 1,000 corporate employees and a deployed temporary workforce of 29,000 candidates. The company operates through seven specialized sub-brands — Chandler Macleod (general staffing), Peoplebank (IT/digital), Leaders IT (IT talent consultancy with the Capacity Uplift Program), Vivir Healthcare, Aurion (HR solutions), AHS Hospitality, and OCG Consulting — supported by 25 offices across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth, and Auckland. The underlying technology stack centers on a staffing and recruitment platform with psychometric assessment services, proprietary matching frameworks such as the BestFit Model, and structured inclusion programs including No Glass Ceiling and RGF Connect.

The business model is transaction-fee driven, generating revenue primarily through temporary and permanent placement services, contract staffing, executive search, and managed services across multiple verticals, with supplementary professional-services revenue from psychometric testing and HR consulting. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, executed through dedicated account managers and recruiters under each sub-brand, with negotiated pricing rather than published rate cards and contract terms that span multiple-year engagements.

The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Recruit Holdings Co. Ltd., a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed conglomerate, operating within the Recruit Global Staffing business unit. The current ANZ entity was formed in 2023 through the merger of RGF Staffing APEJ (formerly Chandler Macleod Group) and Peoplebank Australia, both of which had been independently acquired by Recruit Holdings in 2019. The merged organization is led by CEO Brent Leahy, with CFO Sunthar Vinayagamoorthy appointed in October 2023.
