The Destination for Digital + Tech Talent

Part of the Adcorp group of companies, Paxus has a reputation second to none as a leading IT recruitment agency. We work with clients to identify exactly what they need and deliver it with no exceptions. Our decades of experience, deep industry knowledge and established recruitment methodologies ensure success for our clients in securing the best specialist digital and tech talent. We place thousands of peoples in jobs each year and all our candidates and contractors are fully supported at each stage of their job seeking or contracting journey with us. This unwavering commitment to customer service is demonstrated by the number of long-standing client relationships we have, well above average NPS scores, and the size of our loyal and growing contractor-base.

Specialisations

We focus purely on digital + tech. We really do understand the IT job market, its intricacies, and opportunities for growth. We’re experts in specific fields of IT Recruitment, so we can ensure success for all our clients. View our specialisations.

Over 50 Years of IT Recruitment Experience

In 2023 Paxus celebrated 50 years of IT Recruitment experience. Throughout the year, we took the time to reflect and look forward. A lot has changed in what is now more than 50 years, and no industry has been more integral to innovation than digital + tech. In fact, most roles that we fill nowadays did not exist half a century ago.

Through all those changes, our experience and breadth of knowledge across sectors and specialisations has continued to develop. We’ve been finessing our craft this whole time, utilising over five decades to develop best-practice, deep expertise, and trusted relationships that we look forward to continuing.

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