About us
Since 1977 RHL have been international leaders in their field, partnering with companies to find talented people for technical roles at all levels.
Based on our continuing success placing global professionals into Australia, we opened our Sydney office in July 2018, establishing a local presence whilst maintaining direct contact with our UK based operations. RHL continues to be a market leader in technical recruitment in the UK.
RHL Australia are well positioned to tackle modern recruiting challenges: supporting internal recruitment functions as well as complete recruitment outsourcing. We source Australian based talent where we can, however one of our unique qualities is our close link to the UK and our proven track record in supplying candidates between the two countries and the wider APAC region.
Paul, founding Director of the Sydney office, is a British/Australian citizen with over thirty years’ experience in the field of global Technical Recruitment.
