Supplying the agencies that keep Australia running.

Recruiting in government means navigating cultural alignment and candidate fitness and merit-based processes and hiring budgets.

It’s complex, but it shouldn’t be complicated.

Private sector recruiters don’t understand the difference.

We do.

What we do

Permanent recruitment

Source fully qualified talent across domains like IT and project management.

Labor hire

Quickly procure staff for roles like customer service, compliance, and case management.

Scribing services

Hire independent experts to support compliant APS recruiting.

Sample — replace before launch

We needed five APS6 analysts before end of financial year. Face2Face put a compliant shortlist in front of our panel within a fortnight - every one worth interviewing.

Australia’s preferred government recruiter

Finding a person isn’t the same as finding the right person.

Technical skill, cultural fit, perspective diversity – each one can concentrate or compromise a candidate’s impact.

We know how to source talent that matches your selection panel’s criteria.

But we also know that the hiring process – how quickly and cost-effectively and compliantly we can procure those right-fit people – is just as critical.
