BLACKROC is a long-term recruitment partner for organisations building stronger teams and making better hiring decisions.
We're a deliberately small, senior team of career recruiters with 100+ years of combined experience across Agentic, Technology and Digital recruitment. Years of relationships inside Brisbane's technology-first businesses mean we know where the hitters live, and how to bring them to the table.
Here's what sets us apart:
Most of the best people in the market are never on a job board. Long-term relationships with candidates and industry professionals give our recruiters access to talent employers struggle to reach through traditional hiring channels.
We stay close to the markets we know best. Our career recruiters understand the technical language, talent markets and capabilities behind the roles we recruit for, so we ask better questions, move quickly and introduce candidates who genuinely fit the brief.
Brisbane is our home market and the market we know best. From our base in Brisbane, we recruit across Queensland and nationally, connecting employers with permanent, contract and executive talent across Australia.
We work closely with employers from the initial brief through to placement, providing realistic market feedback, candidate assessment and clear communication throughout the process. Fewer, better resumes, and a better hiring decision at the end of it.
Our office is in Brisbane and it's the market we know best. We recruit across Queensland and nationally, supporting organisations of every size and structure across permanent, contract and executive appointments.
Often building or expanding specialist technology capability, where getting the right person matters.
Teams adding engineering, data, digital or delivery capability while the roadmap is still moving.
Established teams replacing key people, scaling capability or building out new functions.
Complex hiring environments with structured processes, multiple stakeholders and specialist capability requirements.
State and federal agencies requiring specialist technology talent, including panel arrangements and clearance requirements.
Purpose-led organisations building technology and digital capability, often within tighter budgets and leaner teams.
Head office in Brisbane, with placements made across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and remote-capable roles nationally.
Sometimes you know exactly what you need. Sometimes the challenge is working out the best way to find it. We tailor our recruitment approach to the role, timeframe and capability your organisation needs.
A key position has been vacant too long, or you've identified a capability your team can't operate without. We'll help define the brief, understand the market and target the right permanent or contract professionals.
Find TalentHiring multiple people requires more than repeating the same recruitment process. We can coordinate recruitment across roles, specialist disciplines and locations to help you build capability efficiently.
Build Your TeamProjects, transformation programs, leave coverage and unexpected capability gaps don't always allow for a lengthy hiring process. Access experienced contractors for the period you actually need them.
Find ContractorsBefore going to market, understand current salaries, candidate availability, hiring competition and candidate expectations. We'll help you establish a realistic hiring strategy.
