On 12 January 2010, Electus People (formerly Electus Recruitment) was founded with a vision to deliver premium recruitment services to a broader market. “I understood very early on that finding the ideal candidate for an employer goes beyond the position description. Hiring magic happens when you fully embrace their business vision and future plans,” says founder Fiona Hackett.

We expanded our activities in the Australian Aged Care sector, partnering with Queensland job active providers to deliver job readiness training. Aimed at individuals with limited skills but the right attributes to support the elderly, the training equipped people for entry-level employment as carers in Community or Residential Aged Care. We now proudly offer this training throughout the year, leading to employment for over 350 jobseekers annually.

ElectusPeople was successful in securing funding from the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training to deliver a ‘Launch into Work’ program. This initiative, in partnership with a local care provider, combined skills training with practical experience in aged care. We also integrated technology with labour hire services via an online workforce management platform to streamline our recruitment practices online.

ElectusPeople introduced rural nursing opportunities in Western Downs Queensland.

In collaboration with Allens Training, an Australian Registered Training Organisation, we deliver nationally recognised First Aid and CPR training to our employees and the wider community.
