About Us

Engineering a first-in-class recruitment experience.
Fostering values to deliver real results, that make a difference.

At Shaw Talent, we don’t just fill roles. We match with purpose. It’s a philosophy that drives everything we do.

We look beyond experience to understand ambition and potential, aligning people with culture. It’s more than filling a job.

As specialists in senior and executive search, we deliver tailored solutions shaped by deep industry insight. With strong roots in Australia’s Built Environment, we understand how our clients operate: their markets, culture, and identity.

We build strategic, long-term relationships that allow us to plan ahead with clients and reduce time to hire when it matters most. Because the right match doesn’t just fill a need. It fuels growth.

Our approach is thorough, strategic, and built on a deep network of industry figures and elite professionals. We don’t just identify candidates – we uncover leaders who can launch new regions, revitalise underperforming operations, or open new markets.

When the stakes are high, we bring the insight and reach to find the right person for the job.

Elevate your business with Shaw Talent.

Contingent Search

Not every hire calls for an extended search, but every hire still deserves the right match.

Our contingency search model offers a flexible and responsive solution for roles that need to be filled quickly or recur throughout the year. Whether the need is immediate or ongoing, we draw on our established network of active and passive talent to deliver with speed and precision.

This is recruitment on your terms, without compromise.

Our RPO service offers a seamless extension of your internal talent function. We embed ourselves within your business to manage hiring at scale, bringing structure, insight, and a personalised candidate experience at every stage.

Whether supporting a growth phase, centralising hiring across regions, or relieving internal pressure, we help you build the right teams with clarity and control.

This is partnership-driven recruitment, built for momentum.

Our Values

Integrity

We build unwavering trust through honesty, compassion, and a commitment to fulfill every promise.

Interpret

Understanding individual and situational needs is critical. The ability to truly understand who our candidates and clients are, is how we connect the dots.

Ingenuity

Creativity and ‘out the box’ thinking is in our DNA. This is how we navigate challenges. This is how we deliver solutions. This is our difference.

Innovate

Never stop learning. Be better than yesterday. These are mantras by which we can drive improvement through innovation. Whether through new technology or upskilling in the industries we recruit in. Innovation is at the heart of what we do.

Inspire

Inspire confidence. Whether it’s a business knowing they are in safe hands, or a job seeker knowing their best interests are at heart. We inspire confidence in the hiring process. This is how you succeed.
