Our Story

Recruitment is not just a job to us, it is our passion. We listen, we understand, we care.

Founders, Brent Russell and Christian Sticklen first met in 2006. Through a budding friendship and shared values, the pair quickly left their mark on the Energy, Oil & Gas, Mining, Infrastructure & Utilities sectors, becoming the go-to recruiters for many of Australia's leading organisations and projects.

However, they grew frustrated with the direction the Recruitment Industry was heading. Too many agencies were hell bent on making a quick sale, treating candidates like a product, and clients like they didn't matter. Consequently, they witnessed service quality slip and consultants burn out.

Believing that “clients and candidates deserve better” Brent and Christian set out to shake up the industry, launching Resourceful Recruitment in 2012.

From humble beginnings, working out of an office no bigger than a store room, Brent and Christian built an organisation that kept service quality and true partnerships at the forefront.

They created a mature, fun, and flexible work environment that allowed for individual creativity and leadership at every level. Their passion for health, fitness and wellbeing filtered into the company culture. Today Resourceful Recruitment staff enjoy flexible work hours, take extended lunch breaks to go to the gym, and take time out to support their kids at school events.

“I have recruited several technical professionals via Resourceful Recruitment over the past two years. I have always found the Consultants at Resourceful Recruitment to be very supportive; they always seek to obtain a good understanding of our business’ requirements and they manage the full recruitment process well (including guiding myself through my own internal processes where they have previous exposure). They have always engaged and communicated very well, and I would look to use them for my future recruitment needs.”

“Mel is fantastic at her job. From our very first conversation about my current role with TransGrid I knew I was going to be well looked after. She really cares, and made my recruitment experience the best I’ve had!

Within a day of making my application she was able to secure an interview for me. Later that day, I received an email with some interview sample questions and she provided me with some helpful advice to take with me to the interview. She never made me wait…She was fast and efficient; informing me of every exciting update and of any needs my new employer had requested.

Her positive thinking and encouragement really helped motivate me to get back to work and return to what I loved doing in the power industry. I highly recommend Melanie. She is completely genuine, very friendly, trustworthy, caring, and professional; always wanting the best outcome.”

Energy Transmission - Project Manager

“It was a fantastic experience working with Resourceful Recruitment and Rebecca Walker. All the information I received was incredibly accurate, and all the recommended positions were genuine opportunities with the potential to lead to a job offer. Having worked in the oil and gas industry for 14 years and having interacted with numerous recruiting companies, I was thoroughly impressed by her skills and unwavering support throughout the entire process. She meticulously addressed all my concerns with the client, overseeing the entire process herself. I participated in interviews after receiving comprehensive details, examples, and supporting documents from Rebecca. Thanks to Rebecca, my job application was successful, and I received an offer from a company I genuinely admire.”
