Prospect Consulting was formed in 1993, primarily concentrating on the provision of recruitment services for the mining and resources sector. 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 mining and resources industry.
Since 1993, the Prospect team has grown to a staff of 25 full time employees across the roles of recruitment consultants, organisational psychologists, and management consultants, including a support team of four. Prospect has also opened an office in Newcastle to service the Hunter Valley market.
Due to the focus on the mining and resources sector, Prospect have been able to maintain long-term business relationships with many clients in the Australian and Queensland markets. Prospect has consistently worked with the larger mining organisations such as Xstrata Coal, Anglo Coal, Vale, BMA, BHP, and Rio Tinto in both a recruitment and management consulting capacity.

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.”
