We help companies and candidates keep building a sustainable future.
What is sustainability?
Why is it important?
We're experts:
Professionals and companies committed to workplace sustainability want the same thing: a role that fits real-world needs.
When these roles are filled without specialist recruitment support, mismatches can occur, making it harder for organisations to achieve sustainability goals and for candidates to find roles where they truly contribute.
With 17 offices across Australia and over 20 years of recruitment experience, our approach is focused on matching the right people with the right roles in companies shaping an environmentally friendly future.
Why partnering with a specialist helps
A specialist recruiter can save you weeks of uncertainty, lower your hiring risks, and help you achieve your established goals. Here’s how we can help:
Synergie support for candidates
Many sustainability jobs never appear online. Synergie consultants use our network to share these roles early so you find the right match sooner (providing a clear employment advantage).
Need a role quickly? We connect you with sustainability opportunities in Australia that align with your experience, work rights, availability, and location. Some placements happen within days (our after-hours team works 24/7).
We ensure that you understand the job, including whether it is on-site or remote, if there is travel involved, the shifts, regulatory compliance, and the company’s main objectives.
We help with your resume preparation, interview coaching, and honest feedback. Once you start, we check in regularly.
Synergie services for employers
We manage interviews, verify work rights and assess role fit, so you don’t lose time reviewing unsuitable CVs. This helps ensure candidates are prepared and ready to contribute from day one.
When projects move quickly, delays aren’t an option. Our national network allows us to mobilise qualified sustainability-focused professionals efficiently. Once your account is set up, we can often deploy candidates within 24 hours, depending on the role and location.
Whether you need immediate cover for operational roles or want to build a long-term team, we support both temporary and permanent recruitment.
Environmental and sustainability roles often involve compliance requirements, site-based work, safety considerations and stakeholder demands. Our recruiters understand these realities and recruit accordingly.
You spend less time advertising, sorting, and following up with candidates. Plus, you get a dependable way to find hard-to-reach talent.

The process behind our results in the industry
For candidates
Step 1: The problem
It’s easy to feel uncertain about job opportunities. You might worry the job won’t match the ad, the expectations won’t be clear, or you won’t hear back after applying. Do they have good reviews from other candidates? We understand the situation.
For employers
Step 1: The problem
