ABOUT US
Founded in 2005, Vertical Talent was established in response to the need for a dedicated procurement and supply chain agency. We are distinct from the commoditised, ‘one size fits all’ philosophy of other firms within the Australian recruitment sector.
Our approach is simple! We provide a consultative, non-transactional approach which leverages our global expertise to achieve unmatched results. We provide true value for both candidate and client while continuously upholding our enviable reputation as Australia’s leading procurement, supply chain and operations recruitment specialist.
Following our 2008 acquisition by Drake International, we now benefit from the scale and resource of a leading global recruitment agency while retaining our standing as a boutique, specialist provider.
During our eleven years of operation we have gone from strength to strength, rapidly expanding our presence across the world and growing our recruitment capability across new sectors for our clients.
Recognising that talent markets are becoming increasingly specialised, we operate as a dedicated recruitment and career management platform supporting our clients. We achieve this through employing specialist consultants across the following industry specialisations:
