Over 50 Years of
IT Recruitment Experience

We are Paxus, and in 2023 we celebrated the milestone of 50 years of IT Recruitment experience. Throughout the year, we took the time to reflect on the milestone and look forward to 2024 and beyond.

Our decades of experience, deep industry knowledge and established recruitment methodologies have ensured our success in securing the best specialist digital and tech talent over the past 50+ years. We match the best talent to more than 5,500 jobs each year for 200+ clients. Our candidates and contractors are fully supported at each stage of their journey with us — enabling their potential.

That's why we're considered Australia's first destination for tech + digital talent.

We've truly finessed our expertise, utilising the past five decades to strengthen our practice and proficiency, building trusted relationships that we look forward to continuing into the next 50 years and beyond.

We acknowledge all candidates, contractors, clients, and staff who made our 2023 milestone possible. These valued contributions have made us proud to be Australia's destination for diverse and professional Tech & Digital talent.
