Why Staff Hunter
A Melbourne tech recruitment agency for engineering, security, data and AI/ML roles. We find the senior people other agencies struggle to reach.
​
Direct headhunting
Most people we place are not job hunting. We find them through headhunting, industry relationships and a network built over years.
​
A short list, not a CV pile
You meet a few screened people who fit the role, the team and the culture. Not ten CVs to filter.
​
Fees agreed in writing
One fixed fee, paid in four stages. Most agencies charge 20-30% of salary. We don't. See how pricing works
Carl Di Nuzzo, Founder
Founded Staff Hunter in 2023 after eleven years in recruitment, agency side and in-house at tech companies such as Atlassian. We work as a partner in your hiring, not a CV supplier.
