Built on Trust. Proven by Results. Driven by Partnership.
The wrong hire doesn’t just slow you down - It costs time, money and momentum.
One poor hiring decision can cost a business up to 30% of that employee’s annual salary. And when it’s a leadership role, the cultural and operational damage can ripple far wider.
Yet most businesses still work with recruiters who don’t truly understand the market, don’t dig deep into the real requirements of the role, and don’t think beyond CVs.
At HARWELL., we do things differently.
We work with business leaders who value alignment over speed, clarity over guesswork, and lasting outcomes over short-term wins.
We take the time to understand your world. We build briefs that remove all ambiguity.
And we stay accountable to every step - Because we know what’s at stake if it goes wrong.
Top-performing employees - the top 10%, your A-Players - are proven to deliver up to 400% more productivity than average performers. That’s who we help you hire.
When you partner with us, you’re not outsourcing recruitment. You’re gaining a team that treats every hire like it’s our own.
How We Work
Our consulting approach is grounded in experience and built for results.
We bring deep market insight and data-driven advice
We build multi-page, bulletproof briefs that remove guesswork
We ask better questions — the kind that shift your thinking
And we keep full control over the process, so there are no surprises
Every project is reviewed and refined for 1% improvement
The Impact
Strategic hires that unlocked growth, clarity, and long-term capability:
Built a team.
Doubled revenue.
Freed the founder.
Scaled a new startup construction business from 0 to 4 hires within 12 months. Enabled the founder to increase revenue by over 100% and step out of day-to-day operations to focus on high-impact strategy and BD.
Placed an Estimator with an unheard-of strike rate.
Helped a growing SE QLD construction company land a senior Estimator who secured several major tenders with top-tier builders. Their tender success rate is now industry-leading — and driving exponential growth.
End-to-end team growth for a major head contractor.
From delivery teams to executive management and back-office strategy roles, Harwell continues to build the workforce behind a nationally recognised head contractor — enabling them to scale past $100M+ project capacity.
Hired a National Ops Manager. Revenue up 7 figures.
Placed a Commercial Operations Manager who landed panel spots with major clients, driving 7-figure revenue growth. She also overhauled systems and process — lifting both top-line and bottom-line performance.
CFO placement brought structure, strategy and confidence.
Placed a CFO with ASX-listed experience into a large construction group. Introduced rigorous financial governance and three-way cashflow forecasting — reducing risk, streamlining operations, and improving financial clarity as the company targets $1B+ in growth.
Built a finance team ready for IPO.
Placed a Financial Controller and supported senior finance hires for a company scaling from $50M to $200M+. The FC restructured the entire finance function and is now steering the business through IPO preparation.
Roles
At Harwell., we don’t just match resumes to roles—we connect the right people with the right opportunities.
We dig deeper, move with purpose, and back our clients and candidates long after the paperwork’s done.
Our Consulting Specialists
Our clients and candidates tell us they work with HARWELL. because...
We challenge them and help them uncover what they need, rather than what they think they want.

I’ve always been a connector - First as a pro footballer leading tight teams, now in recruitment where the impact is real. After years building HARWELL., I know the cost of a wrong hire: lost momentum, culture and opportunity. I partner with Tier 1–3 builders and consultancies to place senior leaders and build high-performing teams. From site to C-suite, I bring market insight, honest feedback and the rigour needed to protect reputations and drive results.

I didn’t plan to be in recruitment - I was meant to be a pro footballer. But after a career shift and years scaling our agency, I saw how high the stakes really are. One wrong hire can cost culture, momentum and millions. That’s why we built HARWELL. I partner with founders and execs (from startups to $1B+ firms) to place leaders who drive real impact. I ask the hard questions, give honest feedback and show up like part of your team. No fluff - Just results, trust and accountability.

I’m a girl from country northern England who did the London thing, landed a job at PUMA, then chased more meaning. After travelling Asia, I landed on the Gold Coast. Marketing drew me in for the people and creativity - What keeps me here is purpose. At HARWELL., we’re not just hiring, we’re building communities. I bring vision, energy and a relentless focus on quality. I see the big picture before it’s built and I don’t settle for “good enough.”

I grew up in a small QLD town where your word mattered and that’s still how I work. I'm a country girl, through and through. After 10 years in a role that left me stuck and undervalued, I realised how important it is to enjoy your work and feel seen. Now at HARWELL., I help others find roles that offer just that. I keep things simple, real, and fast - Helping people uncover their strengths and tell their story. I click with those who come prepared, communicate clearly and bring good energy.
- Mad skill one
