About McArthur
Making a positive difference to Australian lives since 1969.
For more than 55 years, McArthur has been one of Australia’s most trusted names in recruitment and HR consulting. With offices in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney and extended coverage across Tasmania and the Northern Territory, we partner with employers and job seekers nationwide to deliver tailored staffing solutions and people-focused workforce strategies.
A Legacy of Recruitment and HR Excellence
Since our beginnings in 1969, McArthur has grown to become one of Australia’s longest-established and most respected recruitment and HR consulting specialists. What started as a vision to connect the right people with the right organisations has evolved into a national business with deep sector expertise and an uncompromising commitment to quality. Our foundations were built on providing temporary and permanent staffing solutions for Government, Commercial and Health sectors, and these remain central to our work today. More recently, we have expanded into all areas of the emerging care economy — including Aged Care, Early Childhood Education, Executive, Nursing and Community services — reflecting both the changing needs of the workforce and our passion for making a positive social impact.
Specialist Sectors We Serve
McArthur manage recruitment projects across all levels and all parameters – Temporary, Permanent, Contract and Casual. Search assignments for entire ‘C’ suite teams in Local Government, large scale campaigns for call centre agents, locally based recruitment for Aged Care assistants or even international assignments to source hard-to-find Social Workers, we deliver 360 degree recruitment solutions across all our chosen specialist divisions in Australia. At McArthur, we combine national reach with specialist knowledge. Each of our consultants comes from the industries they now recruit for, ensuring we bring genuine insight to every assignment.
This breadth of coverage allows us to match highly skilled professionals to the organisations where they can make the most impact, creating long-term value for both clients and candidates.
HR Consulting Through Talent Architects
Beyond recruitment, McArthur supports organisations through our HR consulting division, Talent Architects. Our consultants partner with employers to design and implement people-focused strategies that deliver lasting workforce improvements.

Whether it is navigating complex workforce challenges or creating a high-performance environment, our HR consulting solutions are tailored to each organisation’s unique goals.
