FAQ: Public Sector Jobs

What makes a good recruiter for government jobs?

The things that separate ordinary government job recruiters from the great can be itemised into a few basic principles. At the top of the list is having an in-depth understanding of government jobs and the industry in general at both a federal and state level - this is an absolute must due to the nature of public sector jobs and the ever-changing landscape where policies and practices can change drastically, having adverse effects on local government jobs. With a firm grasp on the landscape, getting to then closely know the organisations and individuals being represented and the ins and outs of the roles will also help immensely when it comes to successful placement. Another major factor of a great public sector recruiter is experience, there’s a lot of red tape when it comes to the public sector and this experience makes it easier to navigate the bureaucratic minefield and their left-of-centre practices (and things like background and police checks etc). Industry experience should also result in the development of a solid foundational network, broadening the pool of potential candidates and hirers in order to find that perfect fit.

Why should I choose Michael Page for recruitment within the public sector?

Michael Page is a household name in the world of recruitment for good reason. We understand the sheer importance of communication and getting to know our clients on both ends of the job search. We always have a finger on the pulse of the job market and governmental landscape to ensure we keep up with the times and can utilise this knowledge in our placement process to the benefit of job seekers and hirers. Another key point of difference between Michael Page and our competitors is the stringent post-placement process - once a contract is signed, we don’t stop communication between stakeholders to make sure placement proceeds smoothly moving forward. We’ve been operating globally for over 40 years, with decades of operational experience throughout Australia and its public sector industry with offices servicing:

  • Canberra
  • Canberra CBD
  • Sydney
  • Sydney Inner Suburbs
  • Western Sydney
  • Melbourne
  • Melbourne CBD
  • Perth
