Western Australian owned & operated.

Whichever firm you start with, you are dealing with the same standards and people first approach.

The Connect Group of Companies is a proudly Western Australian recruitment and interim placement business. Through its two specialist firms, Counsel Connect and Executive Connect, the Group sources legal and executive talent for the West Australian legal and corporate sectors.

Each firm is a specialist in its own right. Counsel Connect focuses on legal secondments, permanent recruitment and specialist Partner and outplacement services. Executive Connect focuses on executive and senior leadership appointments, both permanent and interim.

Clients work with whichever firm fits the need, knowing the same standards and relationships sit behind both.

The Connect Group of Companies’ leadership brings decades of legal, executive, recruitment and board experience, and strong personal relationships across West Australia’s legal and corporate sectors. It is led by a Board that understands the market we operate in, and the businesses and people we support.
