Service & Expertise

Talent Acquisition and Recruitment

Permanent Recruitment

gcr3 provides Permanent Recruitment from its Melbourne and Sydney offices, running campaigns nationally across Australia and in New Zealand since the business was established in 2002 as Greater City Recruitment.

  • Long standing client partnerships are named on site, including ITW brands (Pryda, Buildex, Paslode, Ramset, Reid), Meyer Timber Group and Wastech Engineering, reflecting recruitment work sustained over multiple years.
  • Campaigns are delivered through four structured products (blue, edge, expert, lead) tailored to blue collar, functional expert, and senior leadership roles rather than a single generic process.
  • Every placement is built around a three dimensional talent framework, know how, ability and energy, moving selection decisions beyond the resume alone.
  • A free 60 second recruitment health check tool is offered on site to help employers assess how healthy their current hiring function is.

Best for: employers seeking permanent hires across blue collar, technical or executive functions who want a structured, nationally run recruitment process backed by long term client relationships.

Talent Acquisition and Recruitment

Psychometric and Cognitive Testing

gcr3 offers Psychometric and Cognitive Testing across Australia and New Zealand as part of every recruitment campaign it runs.

  • Candidates are assessed using verbal, numerical, abstract, mechanical or spatial reasoning tests, selected according to the role, to measure how they think rather than relying on the resume alone.
  • A behavioural energy assessment, covering 17 researched workplace traits such as ambition, dependability and stress tolerance, is scored alongside the cognitive testing.
  • Testing is tailored by product: gcr3 blue applies mechanical and spatial reasoning for blue collar roles, while gcr3 lead applies full psychometric testing for CEO, CFO, COO and divisional leadership appointments.

Best for: hiring managers who want cognitive and behavioural evidence built into a recruitment campaign to support confident, evidence based selection decisions.
