Who we are

HOK Talent Solutions is a boutique consultancy, specialising in the full suite of Occupational Health and Safety appointments. We provide executive search, mid-level permanent recruitment and contingent health and safety specialists (contractors) across all industry sectors. Based in Melbourne, we have successfully recruited HSE Leaders across Australia and New Zealand.

We work with clients who demonstrate the same commitment and values that we do, and engage in a partnership to achieve great outcomes. We are professional and ethical, knowledgeable and approachable. We love what we do and you benefit!

At HOK Talent Solutions, we are driven by one KPI: exceeding customer expectations. We measure ourselves on this, and know we are successful by the many customer referrals we receive and repeat business we conduct.

We are proud to provide the most personalised and meaningful recruitment experience available. How? By listening, understanding and keeping in touch.

We listen.

Whether you are briefing us on a role or telling us about your career motivators, we hear you. We are interested. We let you talk whilst we listen.

We understand.

We understand what employers want. We 'get' that technical skills are non-negotiable, but we also understand the importance of cultural fit. That’s why we focus on behavioural competencies as part of our selection process.

We keep in touch.

You will hear from us - and regularly. We will create an ongoing and meaningful relationship with you. It's genuine. We care.

OUR MARKET EDGE

We understand that one size does not fit all, therefore we consult and personalise every recruitment service we deliver. We are honest with our feedback to clients and candidates alike - if we cannot assist, we will say. And, unlike other agencies, you will rarely see us advertise. We don’t need to. We know where to find and how to source the best talent available.

Meet The Team

Helen O'Keefe

Without doubt, Helen is one of the most well respected and connected HSE recruiters in Australia. Authentic in style, she demonstrates a genuine passion for the HSE industry and is motivated by uncovering exceptional talent for her clients and exceptional jobs for her candidates.

Helen has earned a reputation as a recruiter who succeeds where others have failed as she assimilates business needs quickly and hunts for the talent her clients want to see. Helen’s exposure to industry is vast and this provides candidates and clients alike with confidence in her ability to understand the variance in sector-to-sector risk profiles, and the unique challenges each industry sector faces.

Encouraged by the support of her valued clients, Helen founded HOK Talent Solutions in 2015 and is immensely proud of how successful the business has become.

Originally from Adelaide, Helen is a die-hard Adelaide Crows fan; although she finds it difficult to talk about the 2017 AFL Grand Final!
