Clients

Need help with your team?

We could show you a bunch of fancy infographics outlining complex recruitment processes or bamboozle you with buzzwords that sound impressive but don’t really mean much.


But that’s not how we work.


At Vivid Recruitment, we’re a specialist architecture & design, engineering and planning recruitment agency in Australia, and our focus is simple: understanding you, your business, and what success actually looks like for your team.


We don’t use a standard recruitment model — because there isn’t one. Every architecture, engineering and built environment business is different, so our recruitment solutions are tailored to fit your needs, your projects and your long-term goals.


We’re all about building relationships that last, delivering quality candidates, and having a bit of fun along the way.


So let’s catch up over a coffee and talk about how Vivid Recruitment can help you attract the right talent and level up your business.

Need help with your BD?

With deep, long-standing networks across the Engineering, Architecture, Design and Planning industries, Vivid Recruitment partners with some of the best consultancies and studios across Australia.


From multinational engineering consultancies and established architecture firms through to boutique practices offering niche expertise, we know who’s who in the built environment.


While this is a huge advantage for candidates, it’s just as powerful for our clients.


Maybe you’ve been trying to connect with a design director you’d love to collaborate with. Or perhaps you’re keen to partner with a specialist engineer because you can see real potential for future projects together — but the right introduction has been hard to make.


That’s where we come in.


We’re constantly talking with, meeting, and working alongside our clients, which puts us in a unique position to support business development in architecture, engineering and design. Whether it’s a warm introduction, a casual coffee or beer, or catching up at one of Melbourne’s many industry events, we’re happy to help open the door.


So if there are relationships you’d like to build, strengthen or reconnect, feel free to reach out — and let’s work together to make it happen.

Retained Recruitment

At Vivid Recruitment, we know that hiring the right people in engineering, architecture, interior design, and urban/town planning can make or break a project. That’s why many of our clients choose to partner with us on a retained recruitment basis.


Unlike contingent recruitment, retained recruitment provides you with a dedicated search partner who is fully committed to your hiring project from start to finish. By engaging us exclusively, you gain:


  • Focused expertise – a specialist recruiter dedicated to your role and industry.
  • Quality candidates – carefully vetted professionals, not just a high volume of CVs.
  • Market intelligence – insights on salaries, trends, and competitor activity to support your hiring strategy.
  • Stronger candidate experience – clear communication and timely feedback that enhance your employer brand.
  • A long-term partnership – we learn your culture and values to make every hire a better fit.


This approach not only reduces the risk of a bad hire but also saves time, improves your reputation as an employer, and builds a pipeline of talent for future growth.
