Tailored Public Sector and For-Purpose Recruitment

Finding exceptional leaders for the public sector and for-purpose organisations

Having worked in Government and had nearly twenty years of Executive recruitment experience we understand the need for merit-based, rigorous recruitment processes that are based around identifying your capability frameworks, organisational context, and strategic direction to then apply a sourcing and attraction strategy and evaluation tools to present the best talent.

Searchlight Group has a breadth of experience unsurpassed by our competitors, extending to all levels of Government (Local, State, Commonwealth), Government Business Enterprises and Statutory Authorities. 

Our experience ranges from the highest-profile and heavily scrutinised roles to the most technical and specialist. In a competitive market for talent, we have an extensive network nationally and internationally and a well-known and reputable brand that is ideally positioned to identify and attract leaders.

Our portfolio of clients includes energy, resources, health and human services, arts and tourism, large-scale infrastructure, transport, emergency services, economic development, and justice to name a few.

Applying our consultative methodology, we have partnered with those clients to make successful appointments at all levels, including Board, Divisional Head, CEO and Executive, and for positions ranging across policy, regulatory, corporate, and quasi-commercial.

“I will always make time to talk to someone interested in a senior role in the public and for-purpose sectors, to understand their motivation, values and what the candidate brings to the table and where the opportunities for them might lie. Or where they might need to expand their experience or qualifications to match the ambition” ~Michael Holdway.
