About our Brisbane-Based HR Consulting Firm

Get What You Need From Your People

SkilledSuite is a dedicated HR Consultancy and Recruitment firm specialising in on-demand HR support and services for small to medium enterprises. We understand that running a business comes with its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to managing and growing your team.

When you start a business, you expect it to be hard. What you don’t expect is how employees become such a significant part of that challenge.

There are also plenty of voices offering advice on how to get it right, what you should be doing and the miracle cures to fix all kinds of problems. We hear them in YouTube videos long forgotten, comments and research gathered in fat reports collecting dust on a shelf somewhere.

SkilledSuite is built different. We pride ourselves on getting our hands dirty. We roll up our sleeves and immerse ourselves in your business, providing hands-on expertise to help navigate the challenges getting in the way.

It’s not about ticking boxes, but coming up with solutions and getting real results. No free rides here, we work with you to ensure action is taken and the job gets done. Whether you need a shake up or just smoothing out the bumps, our flexible approach makes sure the actual needs of the business are met – having the tough conversations wherever they need to happen.

 

The only box we tick is the one at the end which says ‘job done’, when we’re all satisfied you’re back on track to growing the way you should.

We know because we’ve grown and sold businesses ourselves. We are Queensland natives, based in Brisbane, so we know the landscape and conditions you operate in.

It all starts here. Take the first step to grow your business with expert assistance from our HR consulting firm. 

Our Values

Egalitarian

Everybody has worth. Regardless of race, beliefs or education everyone has skills and abilities that are unique to them. We believe that by ignoring the superficial and placing people in roles where their strengths can shine, while providing them with support in areas they’re weaker in, we can create a workforce that is empowered. We want to challenge the status quo by not accounting for people as a cost to the company, though instead by considering their potential to add value. To us, people are the solution, not the problem.

Kinetic

We see problems as opportunities and we approach every opportunity with enthusiasm and high energy.

Learning

We learn from our mistakes and treat every experience as a chance to improve our process; we do not let failure weigh us down.

Self-aware

We acknowledge that we won’t always have the answer, we aren’t perfect and at times we might make the wrong call. However, we will not let our gaps stop us from giving something a go and trying again if need be.

Hiring is only half the battle when it comes to getting the right people in your business.

After many years working across recruitment and in-house Human Resources roles, Connel discovered that the challenges with finding the right staff extend far beyond interviews and job offers. It was clear that the companies who excelled at finding the right fit had a broader focus on the process – one which starts well before a job ad is posted.

That is what encouraged Connel to launch SkilledSuite, a new kind of agency that went deeper into the staffing needs of Queensland businesses. High-touch, personalised and flexible to make sure the conditions were right on both sides of the equation, so the real needs of company and employee could be met effectively.

“People are such an integral part of any business, yet so many owners are not equipped with the tools to manage them well. Throwing more staff at a problem is not only inefficient, it can make things so much harder in the long run.

That’s why we developed SkilledSuite, to give this critical part of every business the attention it deserves in a flexible, meaningful and effective way. Not just getting the right people in, but ensuring the ones who are there meet the actual needs of the business.”

That’s why SkilledSuite exists – to make your people into the assets you know they can be.
