Carroll Consulting Group

Carroll Consulting Group delivers Executive Search and Headhunting from Brisbane for organisations led by owners and founders across Queensland and Victoria, trading since 1990 with named clients including FKG Group.

• Managing Director Ian Hamilton has led the firm for close to three decades, is a Fellow of the RCSA and holds Certified Master Practitioner status in the US Top Grading methodology.
• Searches follow a structured process built on three principles, culture fit, role fit and people fit, opening with a deep briefing that defines the role mandate and how the success of each hire will be measured.
• Published client references include FKG Group (a client of almost 10 years), Microair Avionics (a Vice President Operations search), DWW Engineering, Atlas Heavy Engineering and Woodland Fitouts.
• Managing Consultant Andrew Hill, with the firm since 2014 and more than 20 years in recruitment, covers executive, management, operational and supply chain roles in manufacturing, technical and rural sectors.

Best for: owners and boards of private businesses in Queensland or Victoria filling leadership or other critical roles where alignment with company culture matters as much as technical skill.

Carroll Consulting Group provides Permanent Recruitment for management, operational and supply chain roles across Queensland and Victoria from its Brisbane office.

• Dedicated sector pages cover manufacturing, professional services, and food, agriculture and rural industries, with shortlists screened for technical and cultural fit.
• Each assignment starts with a detailed briefing that produces a written blueprint of the role and person required, an approach Atlas Heavy Engineering credits publicly.
• The firm cites the career longevity and progression of its placements as evidence its process supports long-term retention.

Best for: hiring managers in private manufacturing, technical or rural businesses who need permanent hires that stay and grow.
