The Talent Quarter story
While the Talent Quarter name is a recent arrival, our team are no strangers to the Australian healthcare industry. Our new brand was launched in 2021 and we are proud to be a 100% Australian-owned leader in specialist recruiting .
Our business mission is simple as we work to be the preferred partner for Australia’s healthcare and social care recruitment. Our purpose is connecting the market’s best talent and to have a positive impact on people’s lives – clients, candidates and communities alike.
A quick history
Talent Quarter launched in 2021 following our 2020 acquisition of Sugarman Australia. The Sugarman Group has served the UK healthcare sector for more than 30 years and the business that is now Talent Quarter, was established by Sugarman International, in Sydney in 2008. Today Talent Quarter looks after the national market from offices in Sydney and in Perth.
The way we work
Our values underpin the way we work every day. At the heart of our service model is diversity and equality and we work to empower every employee and candidate to make every experience count through our values. When we embrace these values, we can build connections with impact to make a difference in people’s lives:
• Connected • Forward Thinking • Integrity • Transparent • Fun
Healthcare impacts every Australian and today, more than ever, the sector is a highly competitive and talent-short market. We work in close partnership with healthcare and social care organisations and providers to match their needs with the very best talent. We draw on our local, national and international networks and carefully nurtured talent pools to present the people who are qualified and ready to make a meaningful impact.
While we actively recruit in all metro across Australia, we also have specialist expertise and understanding of the unique challenges of regional and remote area recruiting. Across Australia we provide casual, fixed term, locum and permanent staffing solutions.
Diversity and Inclusion – at the heart of all we do
At Talent Quarter, respect and inclusion are not just a ‘nice to haves’, they are essential to the way we work with our clients, our candidates, and with each other.
We celebrate diversity in the communities in which we live and work. We know that where diversity and inclusion meet, there will always be a rich resource of talent and humanity – people with the passion and the motivation to make things better.
Indigenous Recruitment
At Talent Quarter we acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
Our commitment to indigenous communities goes far beyond this acknowledgement. Talent Quarter has significant experience in supporting the specific healthcare and social care needs of indigenous communities across the country, in both urban and remote locations.
Often challenged by limited resources, remote locations and other pressures, at Talent Quarter we know that in every challenge there is opportunity. We work hard to find the people with the skills, the passion, the cultural sensitivity and the commitment to make a positive impact.
We work closely with both community and government run healthcare, social care and community services organisations. We are also proud to support the careers of indigenous candidates who are skilled, passionate and ready to make a difference in their communities.
Work with Talent Quarter
Just as we work to create life-changing connections for candidates and clients, we also work to empower every employee to reach their full potential.
Like many companies over the past two years, at Talent Quarter we’ve re-imagined and reconfigured what work can be. We’re providing our team with new flexibility and choices in how, when and where they work. It’s all about trust and wellbeing and finding the right balance for individual needs in working with the team, with clients and our pool of talented candidates.
We’re always on the look out for talented and passionate recruitment specialists to join our team.
