History

In 1994, Jill Cox and Elisabeth Purtell established Cox Purtell Staffing Services. Well known in the industry, Jill and Liz quickly earned the reputation as one of the top 5 boutique recruitment agencies in Sydney - a reflection of our customer service-driven approach and ability to consistently meet and exceed our clients' and candidates' expectations.

Founded on values of Honesty, Integrity and Respect, Cox Purtell was - and is - a business committed to ethical behaviour and treating people as we ourselves want to be treated. 

Our continued success has always been largely based on the fact that over 70% of our business is generated through referral from satisfied clients and candidates.

Today

Now a second generation Australian company with almost 20 years' experience, Cox Purtell operates in four specialist markets - Professional Business Support; Accounting, Credit & Finance; Marketing, Communications & Sales; and Government Organisations.

We have developed a team of experienced recruitment specialists with strong industry knowledge to partner with clients in these sectors, and ensure we keep our founding values at the forefront of everything we do.

Our directors, Trish Nugent and James Purtell, believe what separates our service from our competitors' is a commitment to providing a personal and friendly recruitment experience and a service underpinned by quality recruitment methodologies, constantly measured through client and candidate satisfaction surveys.

Comprising a 'family' of experienced, dedicated staff, Cox Purtell strives not to be the biggest, but to be the best.
