Company History
Slade Group was founded over 50 years ago by Geoff Slade, a recognised originator of recruitment services in Australia. Geoff has been deeply involved in the recruitment sector for over four decades including his role as the founding National President of the Recruitment and Consulting Services Association (RCSA).
An advocate for education, training and industry qualifications for recruitment professionals for many years, Geoff’s dedication to the field of employment was publicly recognised when he was awarded the Centenary Medal by the Australian Government in 2000 for services to the industry. As a result of this career-long commitment, many practicing recruitment consultants around Australia have worked for and been trained by Geoff over the past four decades.
Values and Philosophy
At the heart of what drives us is our determination to find quality candidates for quality clients and offer the best possible recruitment experience for both. Candidates need opportunities to prove their capabilities, earn their position and be both encouraged and supported by their workplace; Clients need candidates who can step into the fray and bring their experience, skills and ambition to the table.
Slade Group emphasises honesty and transparency in all our business activities with a particular focus on candidate care. We recognise the best qualities in both parties, candidates and clients, and do everything in our power to bring them together.
Everyone at Slade Group is passionate about the field of recruitment. We recognise it’s a team effort and maintaining the highest professional standards is critical. Therefore, we’re continually assessing our strategy and evolving our recruitment policies. Combined with our best practice processes and technology, we strive to offer a great recruitment experience, no matter where you are in Australia.
