Hume Community housing recently engaged HRG as a retained recruiter to secure over 40 roles in the Maitland and Port Stephens Region.

Craig and the team at HRG were great to work with when we required local and specialized recruitment services as part of our growth in the Hunter region. Not only are the team efficient and professional, they demonstrated resilience and adaptability throughout the course of the project and enabled us to recruit over 40 positions to deliver the Hume brand of service to our new customers and stakeholders in the region.
