Meet The Team

Sorcha Hunter
Director

I have worked in the recruitment industry since 2009 gaining experience in B2B sales, talent acquisition, HR practices, sourcing and recruiting at a variety of levels. Prior to this I worked in the property sector which followed on from the Degree in Property Economics that I graduated with in 2005.

My goal as a recruiter is to build strong, long and mutually beneficial relationships with clients and candidates alike. With extensive experience in the Sydney labour hire industry I have lead the Hunter Labour Hire team and business to grow substantially since it was established in 2015. Despite this growth our company focus remains on quality over quantity when it comes to our candidates. Quality customer service is one of our core aims as our saying goes we aim to supply “Quality tradespeople, quickly and safely.”

We offer both temporary labour hire solutions and permanent recruitment services to the construction industry in Sydney. As you can see below we have a great team that are more than capable of assisting you with any upcoming requirements you might have so do not hesitate to get in contact today!
