Specialist recruitment in Melbourne & Brisbane

With offices in Melbourne and Brisbane, we have been partnering with people and organisations since 2011. We help people find meaningful roles and support organisations to build strong, high-performing teams.


Our philosophy is simple: our business is people. Relationships come first and quality follows. That’s the foundation of everything we do.

Who we are

Quinn Allan is a specialist recruitment and executive search firm working across Victoria and Queensland. Our Executive and Leadership Search practice focuses on board, C-suite, senior and fractional leadership appointments, while our specialist recruitment spans accounting and finance, technology and project services, human resources, legal and procurement.


Our team is known for genuine relationships, thoughtful insights and consistent communication - a people-first approach that shapes every appointment.

Our recruitment expertise

We specialise in careers and talent sourcing across a range of practice areas. Each is led by experienced partners with long-standing networks that reach people a standard search won't.
