Why EC & CO
Recruitment Done Differently
We're not a generalist agency. We're a specialist talent acquisition and permanent recruitment consultancy — built to partner with hiring managers and business leaders who need more than a CV drop.
Our Story
Built From the Inside Out
EC & CO Consulting was founded on a simple belief: that great recruitment is about relationships, not transactions. Too many businesses have been let down by agencies that treat hiring as a numbers game — flooding inboxes with unvetted candidates and disappearing after placement.
We built EC & CO to be different. With over 15 years in recruitment, our consultants bring deep market knowledge and a genuine understanding of what it takes to hire well — the nuance of a good cultural fit, the cost of getting it wrong, and the value of a long-term placement.
Today, we partner with businesses across Australia — from growing SMEs to established national brands — to find permanent talent that sticks.

What We Stand For
Our Values
Integrity First
We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Honest market feedback, realistic timelines, and transparent communication — always.
People Over Process
Every placement is a person's career and a business's future. We never lose sight of the human element in every search we run.
Quality Over Volume
We'd rather present three exceptional candidates than ten mediocre ones. Our clients trust us because we respect their time.
True Partnership
We become an extension of your team. We learn your culture, your goals, and your non-negotiables — and we hire accordingly.
Industries We Recruit For
Across Sectors. Across Australia.
