Recruitment run by people who’ve done the technical work themselves, not just recruited for it.
Meritas Talent is a privately owned recruitment and labour hire company based in Australia. We work with employers and candidates across the country. ICT is where we’ve built the deepest expertise, but we recruit across other roles too.
Most agencies work in volume, and it shows. Candidates become names on a spreadsheet, and clients get a stack of CVs to sort through themselves. We built Meritas Talent to work the other way. We keep our list of candidates small on purpose, meet every one of them properly, and stay involved after a placement rather than moving straight on to the next one.
That approach only works if the people running it actually understand both sides of the table. Our recruitment team brings more than two decades of recruitment experience across global markets, backed by a team with an IT background working behind the scenes, so every brief is understood properly and every candidate conversation goes beyond keywords.
We’d like candidates to think of us first when they’re ready for their next step, so we put time into the relationship well before they need us.
To understand what each candidate wants from their career, and match them with the best opportunity we can find, so our clients get the people they need.
To be the first name people think of for recruitment and labour hire in Australia.

Over coffee or on Teams, before they ever go on a shortlist. No form or online test decides whether someone is right for a role.

We’d rather know a smaller group of people well than spread ourselves across everyone on the market.

The person who takes your brief is the person who stays in touch after the placement, on both sides of the hire.

Our team includes someone who has done the technical work our candidates are hired to do, so briefs get read properly and conversations go deeper than keywords.

Labour hire, permanent or project-based, structured around what the work actually needs.
We back people on skill and potential.
We do what we say we’ll do.
We’d take a long relationship over a quick deal.
Every candidate and every client gets treated as if they’re our only one.
