At Octopus Staffing and Recruitment we believe we are different to other agencies. Not because we are in a different business - we provide permanent, casual and temporary staff placements across a variety of industries - but because we tackle our business with a different service attitude.

We are a close knit team of individuals who enjoy what we do. We genuinely care about our staff and try our best to provide our staff and clients with a service beyond compare.

We have built our business by developing a strong partnership with our staff and clients and look to provide a service that exceeds expectation.

Join us and see what it means to be part of the Octopus team.

Hospitality

Octopus Staffing and Recruitment first opened its doors in 1994 when the company was known as United Recruitment; our first division was Hospitality. Today we are Australia’s pre-eminent hospitality agency, with the resources to expertly provide permanent, temporary, casual or emergency staff for all hospitality orientated positions, including kitchen hands, F&B attendants, Chefs, Executive and Management positions.

The hospitality industry is an exciting and often glamorous business. Our clients range from private function providers to the big sporting and entertainment organisers; from small hotels and restaurants to specialist government facilities.

We also specialise in catering for the exact requirements of the Healthcare industry specifically hospitals and aged care facilities.

Healthcare

The Octopus Healthcare division is Victoria’s number one agency for the recruitment and placement of nurses and allied health professionals in permanent, temporary and casual positions. As Octopus expands beyond Victoria we aim to be an important force across Australia.

Our personalised approach to our staff sets us apart from the competition. We understand the importance of the personal touch. All our Allocations Consultants are experienced in the healthcare field so we understand your specific requirements.

We welcome Nurses, Personal Care Attendants and Patient Service Assistants, Theatre technicians, Midwives, Ward Clerks, Medical Secretaries and Medical Audio typists.

Logistics, Supply Chain and Engineering

Geoff Southby heads up this exciting and challenging area. Geoff’s key to the Octopus difference in the Logistics, Supply Chain and Engineering field is his singular corporate focus of getting the best people for our clients.

We aim to provide our clients with candidates who are measurably superior in performance and who fit a company’s distinct cultural and individual requirements better than any other source.

Our Logistics, Supply Chain and Engineering division is well placed to service middle to executive level professionals on permanent, temporary and contract placements.

As with all our divisions we are passionate in our endeavour to provide the best staffing solutions to our clients and the best personal service to our candidates.
