Story Recruitment
Story Recruitment is a specialist Accounting & Finance search partner for founder-led and high-growth businesses. We go beyond the CV to understand the people, the context, and the direction — so the leaders we place don't just fit the role, they fit what's next.
Our Story
Story Recruitment was built on a simple belief: the best recruitment outcomes are from understanding the story behind a business and the people within it.
Founders and business leaders are often the best storytellers of their businesses. Where they’ve come from, where they’re going and the teams they need to get there.
Story Recruitment exists to support that journey by celebrating and promoting a business's story when we recruit for them

Testimonials from people we have worked with
Jeremy
Tom is the best in the biz. He is a pleasure to work with, has an extensive network of professional and ready to go candidates to introduce. Tom organised 5 interviews within a week of briefing and we found our star and hired him within the next week. He's also just a great down to earth guy with all the knowledge you need to make the right decision. An absolutely seamless process from start to finish. Look no further than Tom.
Tia
Tom has been great to work with. He's calm, approachable, and genuinely supportive, which made the whole process much less stressful. He shares useful resources, gives advice right when you need it, and provides honest, constructive feedback. His guidance really made a difference, and I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for a recruiter who actually cares.

Tom is very good what he does, an experienced recruiter. He kept me well informed about every steps in the process. Highly recommend Tom for both prospective candidates and hiring manager.
Tarrant
Immediately from our first conversation,Tom's professionalism, capability and experience were apparent. He is a fantastic communicator, very swift to provide updates to keep you in the loop and what expectations are. From my dealings with others in Sydney, I would highly recommend Tom Hunter as a clear leader in the recruitment space here.
Amy
Tom is the most attentive and reliable recruiter you could wish for. He is focused on fitting the candidate for the right role and he communicates in a really good manner. The documents he sent to me and the preparation call before the interview were effective to ensure the best outcome. After the interview he provided feedback very quickly. I would highly recommend Tom as a recruiter to find the right company and the right job
