Who We Are…
Richard Lloyd was established in 2008 as a specialist recruitment firm focusing 100% on the Sydney market. We have a talented, upbeat and dedicated team of 20 people operating out of our bright, modern Pitt Street office in the CBD. Take a look at what our team say about us in the video below!
Our mission is simple; to become the first name on the lips of Sydney’s Accountants when they think of using a recruiter.
People are at the heart of everything we do, and we always look to add value to employers and job seekers at every opportunity possible.
We live and breathe our core values every day, work hard to build long-term relationships, are always open and clear in our communication, are there when people need us, and always deliver on our promises. By placing importance on our values and our team, we make every effort to nurture and continuously enhance our culture to ensure everyone enjoys coming to work each day.
What’s in it for you?
Our unique team culture comes from a combined 150 years of recruitment experience. What this means for you is that there is always someone on hand to ask questions of, gain different perspectives from and most importantly, to learn from. Our team is genuinely collaborative and loves to help each other succeed. For the first 3-6 months, you will spend time in the office being guided by experienced Managers and Recruiters, then once you have a firm grasp of your role, you will have the option to work from home 2 days per week.
We’re not a typical hard-nosed KPI-driven business. Instead, we enjoy success by working to a model that depends on self-accountability and shared success.
Celebration is key! For us, this includes birthdays, anniversaries, finding a lot of people new jobs, team goals, individual achievements, etc. Above all, we love it when our clients and job seekers are happy! Celebrations have included trips to the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia, Queenstown in NZ and The Hunter Valley, climbing the Harbour Bridge, and twilight sailing on Sydney Harbour (the list goes on).
Other benefits on offer at Richard Lloyd include an instantly achievable uncapped bonus scheme, an extra day off each year for your birthday, a laptop with full remote access, up to 25 days of annual leave, and health & wellbeing programs.
We’ve got to be doing something very right! We represent some of Sydney’s best accounting talent whilst enjoying a high volume of repeat business with enviable brands. We invest in providing value-add resources to our clients who love our reports on the Sydney accounting market. We typically hold 2 business seminars a year (130+ attendees) and exhibit/present at high-profile industry events regularly.
Giving back to the world is also a huge priority for us. We are big on recycling, have been found cleaning up Sydney’s beaches, cooking for the homeless, organising regular Christmas toy drives and we are a ‘carbon offset’ business.
That’s probably enough about us for now. On to what the job entails… !
The Role
This is a trainee position that will quickly become a full-function Recruiter role where you’ll be meeting with Accounting professionals across various functions whilst working to fill active vacancies. Your role will include but won’t be limited to:
- Building and maintaining your own portfolio of hiring managers and job seekers

Your Background
We are primarily looking to speak with candidates who are looking to enter the world of recruitment who have a genuine passion for building relationships and enjoy working with others.

- Prior experience working in a customer facing / customer service role is a pre-requisite as are exceptional interpersonal and communication abilities (both written and verbal).
