Who we are
Our Story
Prospect Consulting was formed in 1993, primarily concentrating on the provision of recruitment services for mining, energy and associated industries. Over the next few years, Prospect diversified into becoming a management consultancy through the amalgamation of recruitment services, management consulting services, and psychometric assessments while still maintaining the focus on the resources sector.![]()

Mining, Energy & Associated Industries
Some consultancies claim to have knowledge and experience in all business sectors - we don't. At Prospect, we are highly focused - we know mining, energy and associated industries better than many and more than most.
Since 1993 we have offered our clients a unique mix of recruitment and management consulting services. Whether it has been finding a highly experienced mining engineer, or perhaps providing leadership development and coaching for executive teams, we have been a trusted partner to leading industry players through all phases of the boom and bust cycle.
Testimonial
“From a candidate's perspective, the Prospect team are exceptional performers. Having been placed by them twice, both jobs were the right fit. Instead of churning me, I'm assigned a case manager, actively discouraged from unsuitable roles and treated as an integral part of the process.
In an environment traditionally known to side with the employer, Prospect are unique in creating a relationship with the candidate. Prospect has challenged me to step up to the next level through actively understanding me and my capabilities. Far from being a number, I'm a real person. When such a relationship is created, all the parties win.”
