Who you surround yourself with matters, and at Samuels Donegan, we back our people. We’re a female-led, fiercely human team who care deeply about quality, relationships, and doing recruitment the right way. No egos. No cookie-cutter metrics. Just a group of smart, curious operators who deliver with impact and don’t take themselves too seriously.

We’re growing (off the back of being named Sourcr’s 2025 Best Agency – Human Resources, VIC), and we’re looking to bring in exceptional talent at multiple levels and across multiple locations. If you want to be part of a high-output, high-trust environment where your voice is heard, your contribution is recognised, and your team has your back, keep reading.


What Success Looks Like

Client Partnership
You anticipate what your clients need before they ask. You give advice that actually lands, not just what’s "safe", and you own the relationship long after the placement. Clients re-engage, refer, and trust you with their toughest roles.

Quality Of Work
They say the devil is in the detail! Your work is sharp, thoughtful, and complete, from a brief that sells to a debrief that sticks. Candidates feel seen, clients feel supported, and nothing falls through the cracks. You dot your i's and cross your t's (and c's).

Consistency & Commerciality
You deliver results...not just once, but over and over. You manage competing priorities without compromising on quality, and your job board reflects equal parts hustle and judgement.

Influence & Credibility
You challenge constructively and back yourself when it counts. You’re the person people come to for tough calls, sensitive searches, and nuanced advice.

Team Energy
You show up for others. You share your networks, ideas, and time freely and without ego. You know when to lead and when to lift, because you know leadership is an action, not a title.

Growth Mindset
You ask the questions others won’t. You seek feedback, experiment with new ways of working, and keep your finger on the pulse of the market. You’re resilient, self-led, and allergic to drama (but hopefully not to dogs!).


What You Bring

• Gravitas without ego, and warmth without the waffle. People trust you because you show up, back others, and know your stuff.
• A commercial brain and a strategic lens. You think big picture but deliver the details.
• Experience in agency or account-led environments where quality matters and relationships last.
• Clear, confident communication, whether you're writing a brief, running a meeting, or navigating a curly client call.
• A steady hand in fast-paced, high-accountability settings. You stay calm, crack on, and bring others with you.
• A glass-half-full mindset, a grounded style, and a habit of lifting others as you rise.
