About Us

Part of Something Bigger. Grounded in People.

Chandler Macleod is part of RGF Staffing ANZ, itself a proud member of the global Recruit Holdings network — the same group behind Indeed and Glassdoor. Established in Australia in 1959 as the country's first firm of registered psychologists, we have grown into one of the region's largest and most trusted recruitment and workforce solutions companies, serving clients across Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. Our customer base spans a broad cross-section of the Australian economy, including 60% of the ASX 100 and many world-leading Fortune 500 companies. We are certified to ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems and ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety standards, and we hold a 2026 Platinum EcoVadis Sustainability Rating — placing us in the top 1% of companies assessed globally. Backed by financial stability, geographical reach, and decades of longevity, we bring the scale of a global network with the intimacy of a team that genuinely gets people.

Who we are

Flexible Thinkers. Detail Obsessors. People People.

We are a team fuelled by curiosity and driven by a belief that the right fit can lead to a happier life. We are not just recruiters — we are behavioural scientists, talent strategists, consultants, and change-makers who have been digging deep into people's needs and motivations since 1959. Every one of our recruiters is trained by behavioural psychologists, which means we look beyond the CV and the job description to understand the bigger picture — what candidates truly need, what organisations genuinely require, and where the two can meet in a way that makes both better. We are flexible thinkers who question the status quo, fail well, and overcome with resilience. We are a force for change, and we are Chandler Macleod. We get people.

What we do

Recruiting, Selecting, Retaining — and Everything In Between

We deliver fully integrated human resource services, products, and technology across four specialist brands: Staffing Solutions for contingent and permanent recruitment, Chandler Macleod Consulting for psychometric and leadership advisory, xPO Talent Solutions for RPO and MSP programs, and Chandler Macleod Managed Services for training, logistics, and procurement. Our recruitment offer spans permanent, temporary, and contract hiring, executive search, graduate recruitment, and high-volume project recruitment. We balance psychology and technology through our proprietary BestFit™ assessment tool to discover what makes people tick and find them the right role. We also support organisations through RPO, Managed Service Provider arrangements, Total Talent programs, leadership development, outplacement and career transition, psychometric assessment, managed training services, and procurement solutions. From placing a single specialist to managing workforces of thousands, we know what it takes to recruit, select, and retain the best people.

Our Purpose

Opportunities for Life

At the heart of everything we do is one simple truth: creating opportunities for people to live full and satisfying lives. Work is not just a transaction for us — it is the vehicle through which individuals find growth, support, development, and a better life. We believe that every person, team, and organisation has potential, and we know we are in a unique position to help unleash it. For candidates, that means matching them to roles that bring out their best. For clients, it means discovering people who can make their businesses boom. And for the communities we operate in, it means contributing to a sustainable society through every corporate activity we undertake. This is not a job. This is why we exist.

Our Values

Wow the World. Bet on Passion. Prioritise Social Value.

At Chandler Macleod and RGF Staffing, we are united by three core values that guide every decision we make. We Wow the World — because what we do is not just a job. We explore what is possible, question the status quo, fail well, and overcome with resilience. We are a force for change. We Bet on Passion — because we are a team fuelled by curiosity. We respect and capitalise on each other's differences, and we know that one person's bold idea, when backed by data and research, can become the best bet. We Prioritise Social Value — because as global citizens, we strive to contribute to a sustainable society through all our corporate activities. Each one of us is committed to seeking out the needs of society and taking action for a better future. Together, these values do not just describe who we are — they drive how we work.

Why working with us

You're in Safe Hands

When you partner with Chandler Macleod, you are working with one of Australia's most experienced, stable, and awarded workforce solutions companies. Our recruiters are trained by behavioural psychologists and use BestFit™, our proprietary assessment tool, to go beyond the resume and find the right person for the right role. We hold ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management and ISO 45001:2018 Safety certifications, and our client base includes 60% of the ASX 100. Our geographical coverage spans every major Australian city and region, backed by the financial strength and global network of Recruit Holdings.

We also hold Social Traders Social Enterprise Certification and WORK180 endorsement as an Employer for All Women. We leverage digital platforms to streamline the experience for clients and candidates alike, and our people are supported with ongoing training to build longer-term partnerships. With us, you get people who really get people.

Sustainability

Sustainability Is Not a Checkbox. It Is a Commitment.

As part of RGF Staffing ANZ, Chandler Macleod has retained a Platinum EcoVadis Sustainability Rating — placing us in the top 1% of companies assessed globally. EcoVadis evaluates businesses across four critical areas: environmental impact, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. This result is not a badge of honour. It is a reflection of ongoing, organisation-wide work — with representatives from every department contributing to ensure sustainability is embedded into every facet of our operations. We are also an active Sedex member, demonstrating our commitment to ethical business practices and supply chain sustainability, and a certified Social Traders corporate member, connecting our procurement activities to certified social enterprises that tackle social problems and strengthen communities. We are committed to maintaining and building on this progress as we continue to align with global sustainability standards — because a sustainable future is one in which everyone can thrive.

Community & Impact

Making a Difference, One Opportunity at a Time

At the core of our service is a desire to make a positive impact in the lives of candidates and contractors — from job searching and onboarding to placement and beyond. We partner with government organisations and leading employers to create access to meaningful employment for those who need it most. Our Solid Start Program is a bespoke initiative that provides accreditation, training, and tailored support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates stepping onto a new career path. Our No Glass Ceiling program supports women facing adversity in securing employment, pairing increased training and hands-on support with real job opportunities. We support the national Reconciliation movement through our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan, developed with the guidance of Reconciliation Australia, with the aim of embedding organisational respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians and increasing opportunities, fostering connections, and striving for a future characterised by equality and integrity. As a certified Social Traders member, we also direct our purchasing power towards social enterprises that drive meaningful community outcomes.

Inclusion & Diversity

Everyone Deserves Equal Opportunities for Life

We believe that diversity is not a program — it is a practice. Chandler Macleod has a dedicated Employment Equity team that works closely with government organisations and our talent consultants to find opportunities for candidates from all backgrounds and help them transition into meaningful employment through tailored training and ongoing support. Our DEIB commitment spans four key areas: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment, where we design culturally safe workplaces and implement Reconciliation Action Plans and the Solid Start Program; support for women through our No Glass Ceiling initiative and WORK180 endorsement as an Employer for All Women; neurodiverse candidates, who we actively support through culturally aware and bias-conscious recruitment; and the broader principle of equity, where we continually review and adjust our recruitment strategies to minimise unconscious bias and reflect the full diversity of Australia's workforce. We do not just talk about inclusion. We recruit for it, design for it, and hold ourselves accountable to it.

Awards & Accreditations

Recognised for Excellence, Year After Year

Our commitment to quality, safety, sustainability, and social impact has been recognised by leading industry bodies across Australia and globally. In 2026, as part of RGF Staffing ANZ, we retained our Platinum EcoVadis Sustainability Rating — placing us in the top 1% of companies assessed worldwide ... See more
