Our Culture is Unique

Here at Stopgap, we put a stop to bad work days. We are one team with one simple vision: to make people happy and fulfilled in their careers today so that we’re inspired to do it again tomorrow. We do this by being a company that truly looks after its staff. And by being a little bit different from the rest.

Ideally, you'll have done some recruitment in a previous life, but we recognise transferable skills when we see them and are open to people from all professional backgrounds.

Either way, if you're right for us, it'll be because you are motivated by making a difference. It’ll be because, if you’re honest with yourself, you don’t fit into the ‘traditional’ recruitment consultant mould. It'll be because you're a genuinely nice person that other people want to be around and lastly, it'll be because you can relate to all of our core values:

Human Approach…

Because people and their relationships are at the heart of what we do. We all have emotions. We are interested, we listen and we understand.

Collaborative…

Because we appreciate each other’s contributions and abilities whether we are working with a client to fill a role, working with a candidate to find their ideal position or working with each other to share knowledge.

Daringly Different…

Because we are proud to take chances in order to help change peoples’ lives and businesses for the better. Our personal touch is at the heart of our business and stands us apart from our competitors. We are adaptable and dynamic.

Expertly Informed...

Because everything we do comes from a position of experience and insight. Our long history in the industry affords us respect and permission to challenge the status quo. We naturally want to learn, to be able to do the best for our customers.

Benefits of Working with Stopgap

There are loads of great things about working for Stopgap... These are just some of them:

Our consultants are salaried, so don’t rely on commission to keep the wolf from the door
Everyone starts on 25 days holiday which increases by a day every year you work with us
We get a ‘Mind, Body and Soul’ allowance every year to spend, helping us get the most out of life outside of work
We’re based in lovely Circular Quay over looking the Harbour
We finish early on Fridays in the Summer – giving you time to get out and enjoy the sunshine
Giving back - opportunities to get involved with charity initiatives and paid volunteer days off
We're a social bunch with quarterly away days out of the office, a big Christmas bash, fabulous Melbourne Cup lunch & an end of year trip if we've smashed our years' target!

We could go on but suffice to say, we're a happy and well looked after bunch. Check out our LinkedIn to see more evidence!
