Our Team
A founder-led team of specialist recruiters who understand your industry because they work in it every day. No account managers who’ve never filled a role — just people who deliver.
Founder & Managing Director
Sebastian founded HBG in 2018 after years inside large recruitment agencies where he saw the same problems repeated: slow response times, account managers who had never placed a candidate themselves, and a disconnect between the people selling the service and the people delivering it.
HBG was built to solve those problems from day one. The person who takes the job order is the same person who sources, screens, and presents the candidates. There is no hand-off, no lost context, and no excuses.
Today, Sebastian still recruits daily — personally managing key client relationships while overseeing national operations across five offices in Australia and New Zealand. He leads the technology and automation strategy that gives HBG its edge, and remains the driving force behind the company’s culture of speed, accountability, and quality.

Our Culture
HBG doesn’t operate like a traditional recruitment agency. There are no layers of middle management, no KPI spreadsheets that value activity over outcomes, and no account managers who have never filled a role.
Every person on the team is a specialist in their sector. They run their own desk, build their own relationships, and are rewarded directly for the results they deliver — with uncapped commission up to 50% and genuine autonomy over how they work.
The Managing Director still recruits every day. That sets the tone for the entire business: leadership is earned by doing the work, not by delegating it. When you call HBG, you speak to someone who understands your industry because they recruit in it — not someone reading from a script.
