Our Service Sweet Spot For Organisations
At Sestra People, we're more than just recruiters — We are a female-founded, boutique talent partner, built to help people-proof and diversify your teams in the underrepresented verticals of Technology, Energy, Construction & Executive. We build long term, trusting partnerships, and we don't do 'transactional'. Sestra means Sister after all - Honest, Accountable & Trustworthy. Whether you're an organisation aiming to scale a thriving, diverse team who build amazing products and solutions, or a talented individual seeking your next exciting opportunity, our approach ensures you are supported, valued and empowered, every step of the way. Here's how we can help:
Flexible Contract & Project-Based Talent
Looking for skilled professionals on a daily rate, fixed-term contract, or staff augmentation for specific projects? We provide access to a wide network of contingent talent across Technology, Energy, Construction and Executive sectors. Whether you need a margin-only service or a comprehensive solution including insurances, tax, superannuation, payroll, and contract administration, we can work within your budget. We also offer light consulting on a delivery-based model.
Permanent & Fixed Term Contract Recruitment
Securing the right permanent hire is critical for your long-term success. Our specialist recruiters act as an extension of your brand, providing expert consultation on everything from role design and talent strategy to interview processes. We're dedicated to attracting and retaining not just the top talent currently in the market, but also those passive candidates not on the market, who can make a real impact on your organisation. Contact us to discuss our Agile approach and fee structure.
Strategic Talent Solutions: RPO, Retained Search & Total Talent Management
For organisations with significant or ongoing recruitment needs, we offer flexible and scalable solutions including Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), Retained Search for executive-level roles, and Total Talent Management. Our dedicated Account Managers embed themselves within your processes, acting as an extension of your internal talent function to deliver agency-level results. We offer discounted fees for exclusive and volume recruitment models.
What is Sestra
Sestra (Croatian) translates to "Sister". Sestra People was inspired by our Managing Director, Sophie, and her late sister Vanessa Juresic, who passed away in 2018 with Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Sophie founded The White Butterfly with the Garvan Institute in her honour. You can read Vanessa's Last Letter here.
