With very little technology (one old laser printer, one Apple Mac SE 30 computer with a laughable 40 mb hard drive, a black and white screen that was so small you could barely see anything, and one telephone line), located in a lounge room, Conquest Recruitment Group (formerly known as Conquest Personnel) was conceived – 20 years ago, this year!From humble beginnings, we grew to where we are today – the outsourced recruitment arm to many organisations. Having started with very little, nothing got in our way to grow and help give our loyal clients the staff they need. With many obstacles coming our way, we just persevered because if you don’t try you can’t win! We have always pursued our two clearest goals with an unwavering focus and passion:• To be a market leader by building solid reliable relationships with our clients based on mutual trust and respect.• To continually improve by understanding our client and candidate expectations to ensure successful placements.Technology added with determination made us achieve the list of impossible, and we are now lucky enough to have national preferred supplier agreements with the Insurance Industry, Medical/Health Waste, Windows and Doors, International Property/Car Parking Group and many more.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.
