  🔸 We created EGM to help build better companies. 🔸 We exist to help organisations find the perfect person and play a role in helping people realise their career dreams. 🔸 We aim to make the recruitment process an amazing experience for everyone. 🔸 We’ve assembled the best possible team of people that live by the same values to create an environment where brilliant recruiters can flourish at work and be the best versions of themselves inside and outside of work. There is no greater feeling for us than achieving the above. 💯 % SA owned and operated Executive Search and Recruitment Company 🔹 #7 BDO Fast Movers 2021 🔹 AFR Fast Movers 2021 🔹 Most Innovative Companies - Australian Financial Review 🔹 Recruiter of the Year - HRD Magazine Edwin George Merchant and Partners (EGM) is a modern Executive Search, Recruitment and HR consultancy with a focus on excellence, business outcomes and continuous improvement. 🏆Awards and Accolades aren’t the most important thing (that's why they aren't plastered on our banner!) but it's great to receive recognition from the industry on a national and international scale. Even more so for a fully South Australian company that (we have been told) struggles to toot its own horn🎺. We’ve worked so hard to find the right blend of building an amazing, inclusive and high-performing culture. We’ve developed unique and innovative systems, spent years hiring the right people and focused on building a great organisation (with amazing values) that ensures the perfect candidate won't slip through the net, that we leave no stone unturned and that we deliver the best customer experience. On our values: 🔸We’re COURAGEOUS to ask questions and try things never before tried in our industry. 🔸We're CURIOUS to understand organsiations and people beyond a job description or CV. 🔸We're AUTHENTIC. There's no smoke and mirrors and no ego. We've brought the Executive Search and Recruitment industry into the 21st century.

  There is still inequality for First Nations People in Corporate Australia. MURRA was established by AFL legend and activist Gavin Wanganeen as the first Executive Search firm in SA that is Aboriginal owned and operated. MURRA partners with organisations to find brilliant people, created culturally safer workplaces and culturally aware leaders - while showing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that organisations are serious about Closing the Gap in Corporate Australia. I’m excited to be helping Gavin and MURRA on this journey advising MURRA Partners on recruitment strategies and search methodologies.
