Mckinnel Associates
Born from a vision to fill gaps in Australia’s residential construction recruitment market, the company started online and built a reputation through targeted headhunting.
Led by Corrina McKinnel—whose two
decade career spans the UK and Australia—the firm grew by focusing on passive candidates invisible on job boards.
Operating as a boutique agency, it partners with leading builders across NSW, placing many candidates since inception.
Specializing in roles from site
level personnel to executive appointments, its retained and contingent search services support custom
home, medium
density, and high
end architectural projects.
Typical assignments include matching project managers, estimators, and drafter talent with builders pioneering heritage renovations and complex residential developments.
Financially lean and privately owned, it reinvests earnings into expanding its unique candidate database and enhancing bespoke recruitment strategies.
With a tight
knit team of senior consultants, it delivers gold
standard service that feels personal and fast—turning every placement into a long
term relationship.
Instead of job boards, it leverages a hand
picked talent pool refined through 35 years of networked experience, setting it apart in the recruitment landscape.
