WHAT WE DO

In a world that fights for complexity, we keep our happy clients coming back for more through our commitment to simplicity and substance (plus a sprinkling of style).

When matchmaking candidates with roles, we always prioritise personality over years of pen pushing – this is our proven recipe for success.

WHY BUTTON FACE?

Button Face is a team of zealous recruiters who embrace idiosyncrasies and believe individuality is the spice of life. Our passionate people bring diverse industry experience, mammoth networks, and plenty of creative flair to the recruitment table.

Never boring, never generic, always uniquely useful… like a fancy yet practical button.

OUR FACES

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT? OUR PASSION, OUR PROCESS AND OUR PERSONALITY.

Art AKA “RAIN MAN”MD – Head Personality
I AM HONEST, RELIABLE AND A SNACKING FIEND.

Tired of the same dusty, old, cobweb-riddled and slightly mouldy recruitment world, Art set about creating an agency that clients would actually enjoy dealing with. He treats candidates like individuals and has a genuine focus on finding the right people for the job.

“Do what you say you’re going to do. And try to do it a little better than you said you would.”

Kate AKA “MOLEY”Major Account Manager
I AM TRUSTWORTHY, POWERFUL AND FULL OF SUNSHINE.

When Kate isn’t diligently looking after Button Face’s key accounts (and strutting around the office in a full body, hot pink leotard), she can be found concocting meticulous salad creations, helping out at a variety of charities, or tending to her dead herbs.

“Does my face look bothered?”

Jamie AKA “SCROOGE MCDUCK”Operations Director
I AM THE MAN WITH THE COIN.

Jamie loves a spreadsheet. He keeps his cool while running a tight ship for Button Face’s payroll, accounting and finances. Underneath his scrooge-y exterior, he’s got a huge heart which he regularly pours into team agony aunt-ing and furniture restoration.

“That’s not a work expense.”

Wendles AKA “MISTRESS OF MYSTERY”Recruitment Coordinator
I AM ALL ABOUT EQUALITY, EXERCISE AND EATING (HEALTHILY).

Wendy, Sunshine Coast gym owner and recruitment coordinating extraordinaire, sporadically saunters in to save the day using her triple threat: buckets of charm, an aptitude for making great connections, and her famed “dance of a thousand paperclips”.

“I’d rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not.”

Row AKA “THE MATRON”Recruitment Coordinator
I AM KIND, TENACIOUS AND LIKE TAKING PHOTOS (OF BEACHES).

Tough as nails is our Row, firm as a prison warden yet with a heart of gold. Row comes to the rescue with our bulk recruitment drives and is in charge of our initial vetting stages across Australia. Her happy place is the beach with a camera in hand. Don’t ask her for a surprise gift at Christmas because – spoiler alert – it WILL be a beach photo.

“Manners cost you nothing.”

TESTIMONIALS

“Art is MORE than a breath of fresh air… he is a veritable howling gale! His approach is empathetic and intelligent. He seeks to understand before being understood – a fine quality in a recruiter. I have much appreciated Art’s ability to absorb and articulate cultural fit needs as we all JD KPIs, and his brand advocate skills are enviable.”

“Button Face is unlike any recruitment company that I have come across (and in my career, I have encountered hundreds!). That’s because they don’t sing from the same hymn book as the rest. Art and his team care about what they do, every single time. Whether it’s a senior executive role or a junior administration position, Button Face work with the same passion, diligence and commitment to present quality candidates.”

“Art is one of the few recruiters that actually takes the time to listen to what you want in a new employee. He gains a full understanding and then sets about finding the right fit for the company. Art actually does the work for his clients, making sure they see only the best people.”

“When you are working with Button Face, it may take a while, but eventually you will see that there is nothing normal about them. It will become clear that you are more than just a number. They actually become an extension of your team. Art and his Button Face team are not from the recruiter “cookie cutter” mould and are second to none when it comes to relationship building, understanding our business and achieving recruitment results.”

“Art is consistently the recruiter who finds the right people for our retail business. He understands the importance of matching the right candidate to the right position – not only on skills but on cultural fit – and for this reason, he is far more successful at placing candidates with us than any other recruiter.”
