Recruitment Down Under: The APSCo Australia Podcast
Welcome to Recruitment Down Under: The APSCo Australia Podcast.
We’re the podcast for the Australian recruitment and staffing industry, brought to you by APSCo Australia. Each episode brings together leading voices from across the sector to explore the real issues shaping recruitment businesses today.
Through candid conversations, industry insights, and expert interviews, we unpack the trends, challenges, and opportunities influencing how recruitment firms operate, grow, and evolve in a changing market.
Recent episodes have explored themes including mergers and acquisitions in recruitment, with our Deal Makers series examining what drives agency value, who’s buying, and how firms can position themselves for growth or exit. We’ve also gone live on location, including special recordings from industry events such as Emerge 2025.
Other discussions have focused on the future of work and workforce dynamics, including how five generations are now working side by side, and what that means for leadership, culture, and performance inside recruitment businesses.
We regularly dive into capability and performance within agencies, covering topics like recruiter development, CRM and technology adoption, and how firms can build stronger, more consistent teams.
Across the series, we also explore broader industry shifts including diversity and inclusion, compliance and regulation, healthcare recruitment innovation, and the growing impact of data, automation, and AI on talent acquisition.
Whether you’re an agency owner, leader, or recruiter on the ground, Recruitment Down Under brings you practical insights, real-world stories, and conversations designed to help you stay ahead in a fast-moving industry.
