ACS is a professional and expert recruitment firm that specialises in the placement of Executive and Sales related professionals across a wide range of industries. ACS also provides people in support functions for these professions.
When it comes to recruitment ACS takes a refreshingly professional approach to the process. We provide expertise and consultative (rather than transactional) recruitment services to our partners (candidates and clients) and call this process 'Recruiter Equity'. We invest in our partners by taking ownership of their recruitment needs and solutions.
It is through gaining a thorough understanding of our candidate and client partners that we are able to achieve a 'two way success' for both parties. By using the professional Human Resources methodology of the Recruitment & Selection Process we are able to ensure that we find candidates that 'right next step' to meet their personal needs and clients that 'right candidate' for their business needs. ACS's focus on 'two way success' means that both parties win and are therefore happy.
Our Candidate Focus
ACS is able to evaluate candidates' competencies and career goals. Then after consultation and feedback, set into action a proactive strategy to secure the next step position in that candidate's career.
ACS is deliberate in our values and strategies, bringing a genuine approach to understanding our partners so that we can make life easier for them.

Candidate Testimonials
Corey Lay
"The service provided by Carolyn was superb. I couldn't be more enthusiastic. Carolyn was reliable, honest & at all times kept me informed. She took a genuine interest in my requirements. I'd rather seek ACS' services than consider other recruitment agencies."
Russell Brown
“Let me say from the very beginning how impressed I was with your diligence and professionalism in securing me this position.”
“You can't imagine how delighted I was to hear from you after such a lengthy period of time. It has been my experience with other agencies to read new employment opportunities for which I was ideally suited, and having to re apply. You had obviously listened, noted my skills and aspirations following a previous attempt to place me failed.”
Client Testimonials
Geoff Hird, Associate Publisher/COO, Westwick-Farrow Publishing
"Having had nothing but bad experiences with recruitment
companies in the past, I had made it quite clear when they approached
us, that it would take a lot to change my mind. Their consultant,
Carolyn Irvine, has managed to do that. We were also at that
time going through a major overhaul of our sales team and strategy,
so it was a major task for any company to come with us on this.
We have now appointed 5 sales team members thanks to ACS, and all are settling
well and adding value to our company".
Ross McNicol, NSW Business Furniture Manager, Corporate
Express Australia
“I would like to express my appreciation for your excellent
guidance and assistance in selecting a number of appropriate
candidates to fulfil New Business Development roles for our company”
“Each new employee you have provided is performing well which is testament to
your ability to understand our specific needs and satisfy them accordingly. We
look forward to your continued involvement with Corporate Express”
“Thank you for your excellent interpretation of our needs”.
