You can stop swiping now—you’ve found your perfect partner.
Elliott Gray is a boutique Canberra-based recruitment consultancy, focused on delivering the very best talent to clients across Canberra and the region. Founded by Alex Elliott and Elsa Gray-Murphy, Elliott Gray offers a range of recruitment services: simple marketing and advertising advice, providing candidate shortlists, and providing a tailored end-to- end recruitment solution. Ultimately, we like to help connect candidates to clients (and to have fun doing it!)
Having started out in a small agency with a candidate-centric consulting approach and then moving to large agency recruitment, we became disillusioned with the transactional approach of most major recruiters. We started Elliott Gray to bring the consulting care back to recruitment. We wanted to move away from the transactional approach and return to the old-school approach: building strong relationships and creating long-lasting matches.
We are not concerned with quotas and KPIs, and will never push a match if we don’t truly believe it to be the right one for both client and candidate. As a result, we have built and maintained a large network of candidates and employers who can trust us to put their needs first and facilitate the perfect match.
We work closely with clients to ensure we fully understand their business, organisational culture and specific workforce goals, and then use our industry leading expertise to find the ideal candidates to meet those needs. We maintain open and frank lines of communication with clients and candidates at all times, and are committed to ensuring the right candidate-employer fit.
We say what we mean, and we do what we say. And we get down to business like it’s nobody else’s. You will always know where you stand with Elliott Gray.
Here are the values at the core of our approach:
Honesty
In all our communications, we provide honest and timely information and feedback to both employers and job seekers, helping you make the right recruitment decision every time.
Integrity
We acknowledge that we have a huge amount of trust placed on us by job seekers looking for their next career move, and clients looking to find their next hire. We always put you first, not our internal sales targets.
Results
We work hard to get the outcome required by both the employer and employee. Our experience ensures the required result is delivered every time.
Responsiveness
A good recruitment process runs efficiently and within well planned time-lines. Our responsiveness ensures you get the best possible outcomes, and get them fast.
Sick of the recruitment machine? Try our personalised recruitment services:
Permanent recruitment services
Our mission is to source, identify and deliver the best candidates to meet our clients’ diverse needs. We offer flexible end-to-end recruitment solutions for your permanent and fixed-term contract positions.
Temporary or contract recruitment services
Sometimes an experienced temporary employee is just what a business needs for continuity and professionalism. Elliott Gray work in consultation with you to find a solution to your temporary workforce needs.
Part services
When you know you need something, but it’s not the full burger-with-the-lot solution, Elliott Gray can partner with you to assess your needs, then select a tailored subset of recruitment services.
Finding your perfect candidate
We pride ourselves on getting to know our candidates, taking the time to ensure we make the best match possible. Elliott Gray will always match a candidate’s skill set to the requirements of the role, but more importantly we focus on value alignment.
We’re your burger-with-the-works recruitment partners. Pineapple optional.
We see our job as recruiters as more than just putting people in jobs; we want to build lasting partnerships between client, candidate and recruiter. As a result, we are proud to say that we retain 95% of commercial clients who engage us. This focus extends to our candidates as well, with 70% of our placements still employed after a year.
