Why candidates work with Three

We work fewer roles with more care, so you get a recruiter who knows the role, the team and the client.

  • Experienced recruitersNo rookies and no offshore consultants. You deal directly with Australian-based specialists who understand technology work.
  • Honest feedbackWe tell you where you stand, help you prepare and give you real feedback after every interview.
  • Roles you won't see advertisedMost of our roles come from targeted searches for our clients, so many never appear on job boards.
  • We stay in touchSupport doesn't stop at the offer. We check in after you start and throughout your contract.
  • Giving backWe're proud supporters of Open Haven, which helps women and children in Brisbane and Logan rebuild their lives after domestic violence.

Applying in the age of AI

What job seekers need to know about AI screening, from recruiters who see both sides of it.

  1. Assume AI sees your CV firstEspecially for advertised roles. Many employers now use AI to scan, score and shortlist applicants before a person reads anything.
  2. Write for the role, not the algorithmUse the language of the job ad and show the specific technologies, outcomes and scale you've worked on. A tailored, outcome-focused CV does well with both AI and people.
  3. Be careful with AI-written CVsHiring managers are getting good at spotting generic AI text. Use AI to polish, not to write it for you, and make sure every claim is true. It will be checked.
  4. Explain your historyScreening looks for patterns, so a run of short stints can count against you. If there's a good reason, like contract roles or a project ending, say so clearly.
  5. Your network matters more than everWhen ads attract hundreds of AI-polished applications, the people who stand out are the ones who are known. 63% of our placements come from our own network.

I’ve worked with Three for the last two years placing a significant number of contingent roles within our organisation. I have always found them to be extremely professional, having an excellent understanding of our business and the market. The quality of candidates and CVs supplied have always been fantastic and we’ve had a huge amount of success. As agent for the contractors themselves, I’ve always found them to be incredibly supportive and the nature of the company being smaller than some of the larger body shops has meant that their personalised support and attention to detail have been incredible. Highly recommend.

Three Recruitment is a boutique recruitment agency that prides itself on ensuring their candidates are well looked after from the first meeting to post getting the role. Tom was amazing and worked for 2 months in the background to find me the perfect next role. He listened to what I wanted next and the kind of place I wanted to work, and worked relentlessly to make sure that’s exactly what I got. The onboarding was smooth and there are consistent check-ins to make sure I’m settling in okay. Five stars all the way.

Outstanding experience from start to finish. The team truly understands the space and matched me with a fantastic 12-month contract at a major superannuation company. They were professional, proactive, and kept communication seamless throughout the entire onboarding process. If you are looking for an agency that actually delivers and respects your career goals, look no further. Highly recommended!

I’ve had a fantastic experience working with Three Recruitment. A special thank you to Joe, Tom, and Bek, who have been incredibly proactive and supportive throughout the contractor onboarding process. From day one, they made sure everything was handled efficiently, communicated clearly, and stayed on top of all the administrative requirements. What really stood out was how they consistently checked in around payroll and superannuation to ensure everything was processed correctly and on time, helping contractors avoid any unnecessary penalties or administrative issues. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care for contractors make them stand out from other recruitment agencies. I highly recommend Three Recruitment and the team to anyone looking for a recruitment partner that goes above and beyond.
