Hire through
people your business
already trusts.

We fill roles across civil construction, accounting & finance, engineering, administration & office support, manufacturing, transport & logistics, human resources & recruitment, mining, resources & energy, health, and hospitality — through introductions from people who already know your business, not cold calls or database blasts. From specialist and site-based roles through to senior leadership, and whether you run a full HR function or none at all, we sit alongside your team as a trusted, results-only channel. Discreet, personal, and built on a relationship, not a database match.

Dedicated recruiters on our team
How it works

An introduction, then a proper search.

You don't get sold to. Someone you already know raises it socially — our recruitment team does everything from there.

01

A conversation, not a pitch

A hiring need comes up naturally through someone in your world — family, a friend, or your own accountant or adviser. No agency has cold-called you.

02

We run the search properly

Our internal recruitment team of four dedicated recruiters takes it from there — each bringing their own industry and candidate expertise, scoping the role and drawing on our extensive database of vetted candidates to source and screen the right people fast.

03

You meet the shortlist, you decide

You stay in control of the decision the whole way through — no pressure, and no exclusivity you didn't agree to.

Where our relationships run deepest

Industry knowledge, not just a database.

Many Sirens have spent their careers in these industries themselves, or are closest to someone who has. That's where our introductions carry the most weight — and where roles get filled fastest.

01

Civil construction

Site leadership, project management and delivery roles, sourced through people who've run civil projects themselves.

02

Accounting & finance

Finance, audit and commercial roles, introduced through trusted professional and advisory networks.

03

Engineering

Technical, design and project engineering talent, introduced by people already working in the trade.

04

Administration & office support

Office management, coordination and support roles, sourced through people who've run back-office teams themselves.

05

Manufacturing, transport & logistics

Operations, supply chain and site-based roles, introduced by people who've worked inside the sector.

06

Human resources & recruitment

People and culture roles, introduced through professionals already embedded in HR networks.

07

Mining, resources & energy

Site, technical and commercial roles across resources, sourced from within the industry.

08

Health

Clinical, allied health and healthcare management roles, introduced through trusted professional networks.

09

Hospitality

Venue, operations and management hires, introduced by people who've run hospitality businesses themselves.

+

Beyond these too

Our strongest relationships sit in these nine industries, but a Siren's network isn't limited to them — tell us the role and we'll tell you honestly if we can help.

Who we help

An addition to your hiring, not a replacement for it.

We work with medium to large private businesses — some with a full HR or talent team, many without. Either way, we're not here to take over your hiring; we add a channel it doesn't have. Choose what best describes you:

We have an HR team

We already recruit ourselves.

We'll show you how Sirens work alongside your team, not around it.

We don't have HR

Hiring sits with the owner or leadership.

We'll show you how Sirens cover that gap end to end.

How this works alongside your HR team

  • Your team stays in control — we're a channel you call on, not a process you hand over.
  • Best used for the roles that are hardest to source any other way: confidential replacements, specialist or site-based roles in our core industries, or a search that's already stalled.
  • Every introduction is disclosed to you upfront, including who made it and how they're connected — nothing happens off to the side of your process.
  • Low-risk to try alongside your existing process — you're adding a channel, not replacing the one you already trust.

How this works if hiring sits with you or your leadership team

  • We run the full search for you — scoping the role, sourcing and screening candidates, and managing the process end to end.
  • You get the discretion and speed of a trusted introduction without needing to build a recruitment function of your own.
  • You stay in control of the decision at every step, with nothing happening without your sign-off.
  • The relationship behind the introduction is disclosed to you upfront, every time.
Why we started this

Because a friend will never harm your business.

Effie Konstantopoulos
Founder, Siren People
Savvas Papadopoulos
General Manager, Siren People

We started Siren People on a simple belief: the people who know you and your business best are the people least likely to ever steer you wrong.

Sirens are the professionals and industry insiders in our network who make the first introduction. Because that introduction comes from someone the candidate already knows and trusts, it tends to surface people who wouldn't respond to a cold approach — while our recruitment team still runs the formal search and vetting from there.

The other half of the idea is just as personal. For a lot of people, a full-time role isn't realistic — a parent easing back into work, someone between careers, someone who simply doesn't want another 9-to-5. Being a Siren gives them a genuine, flexible income stream built on something they're already good at: knowing people, and being trusted by them. They're not selling anything. They're helping a friend, and building an income around it.

That's the whole model, really. Trust on one side, a fair result on the other — for the client, the candidate, and the Siren who made the introduction.

— Effie Konstantopoulos, Founder

General Manager Savvas Papadopoulos brings more than 30 years of executive leadership in engineering-driven businesses to Siren People, overseeing the day-to-day operations, client relationships and search quality behind every introduction Sirens make.

Questions

What people usually ask

Is this just a referral scheme?+

No — every Siren discloses their relationship to you and the fact that they earn a commission, before or at the first conversation. Our recruitment team runs the actual search, screening and process; the Siren's role begins and ends with the introduction.

If Sirens aren't recruiters, how are candidates vetted?+

They aren't vetted by the Siren. Once an introduction is made, our internal recruitment team takes over entirely — scoping the role properly, sourcing and screening candidates, running reference checks, and managing the process the same way any professional search firm would.

We already have an HR team — why would we use this?+

Most clients in this position use us for the handful of roles that are genuinely hard to fill any other way — confidential replacements, roles in our core industries, or a search that's already stalled. We're a channel your team can call on, not a reason to change how they work.

How is this different from a normal recruitment agency?+

A normal agency starts from a database or a job ad. We start from a relationship someone already has with your business. The search, screening and process that follows is run by the same kind of internal recruitment team any agency would use — the difference is entirely in how the client relationship begins.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 September 2026

Siren People Pty Ltd ("Siren People", "we", "us") provides recruitment and staffing services to clients, candidates and our network of Sirens. We are committed to handling personal information responsibly and in line with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and store it, and the rights you have in relation to it.

What we collect. Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect your name, contact details, resume and employment history, qualifications, references, right-to-work status, and details you provide in enquiry or application forms. For candidates and Sirens, this can also include information relevant to a role, such as police checks or Working with Children Check status, where required for the position.

How we collect it. We collect personal information directly from you when you submit a form on this website, email or call us, or apply for a role. We may also collect information from third parties such as referees, previous employers, or recruitment platforms, where you have authorised this or it is otherwise permitted by law.

How we use it and who we share it with. We use your personal information to assess and progress candidate applications, match candidates with clients, manage Siren engagements and commission arrangements, and respond to enquiries. We may share relevant information with prospective employers or clients as part of the recruitment process, and with service providers who help us operate our business (such as our website host). We do not sell your personal information, and we only share what is reasonably necessary to provide our services or meet a legal obligation.

Sensitive information. Where a role requires it, we may collect sensitive information such as police check or Working with Children Check results. We only collect this with your consent, and only use it for the purpose it was collected for, consistent with APP 3 and APP 6.

Storage and security. We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, consistent with APP 11.

How long we keep it. We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain our business records, and meet our legal obligations. Where we no longer need your information, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.

Storage location. Some of the personal information we hold — including resumes, application details and client enquiry records — is stored outside Australia. This includes our website and database hosting provider, which stores information on a server in Malaysia with backups in Singapore, and cloud storage tools we use internally, such as Google Drive, which store information across Google's own global infrastructure. By giving us your information, you consent to it being stored this way. We choose our providers carefully and take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles wherever it's stored.

Your rights. You may ask us to access or correct the personal information we hold about you, and you can ask us to explain how we handle your information. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

If something goes wrong. If you believe we have mishandled your personal information, please contact us so we can investigate. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

Changes to this policy. We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.

Contact us. For any privacy-related question, or to access, correct or request deletion of your personal information, contact us at help@sirenpeople.com or 0447 206 130.

Terms of Engagement

Last updated: 15 September 2026

Siren People Pty Ltd ("Siren People", "we", "us") provides recruitment and talent introduction services to clients, drawing on introductions from our network of "Sirens" — individuals with pre-existing personal or professional relationships to prospective clients or candidates. These terms set out the basis on which we engage with clients.

Our services. Once an introduction is made, our internal recruitment team runs the search, screening, reference checks and placement process in the same way any professional recruitment firm would. Sirens do not screen, vet or negotiate on behalf of clients or candidates.

Siren disclosure. Every Siren-originated introduction is disclosed to the client at or before the first conversation, including the nature of the Siren's relationship to the business and the fact that a commission applies to any resulting placement.

Engagement basis. Engagements with Siren People are non-exclusive unless otherwise agreed with a client in writing. We are not a party to the employment relationship between a client and a placed candidate.

Fees. Our placement fee is calculated as a percentage of the placed candidate's guaranteed gross annual remuneration (base salary plus statutory superannuation), invoiced on the candidate's commencement date and payable within 7 days of invoice. The applicable percentage is agreed with each client before a search commences and is not published on this site, as it may vary with the scope of the engagement.

Replacement guarantee. If a placed candidate's employment ends within 60 days of commencement for reasons within our control, we will conduct a replacement search at no additional fee. This guarantee does not apply where the role is made redundant, the client's requirements materially change, or the candidate resigns for reasons unrelated to the role as represented during the search.

Confidentiality. Information shared with us by clients, candidates and Sirens in the course of an engagement is treated as confidential and used only for the purposes of that engagement, subject to our Privacy Policy.

Intellectual property. Any materials, processes or documentation we provide as part of our services remain the property of Siren People Pty Ltd.

Liability. Our liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the fees paid for the specific placement giving rise to the claim. We do not accept liability for a candidate's performance, conduct or actions following placement, or for a client's decision to engage or not engage a particular candidate.

Termination. Either party may end an engagement at any time by written notice. Fees for placements that have already commenced, or introductions already made, prior to termination remain payable.

Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia.

Contact us. For any question about these terms, contact us at help@sirenpeople.com or 0447 206 130.

Become a Siren

You already know who to call. Start getting paid for it.

Somewhere in your world — a friend, a former colleague, someone from your industry — is quietly looking for their next role, or quietly trying to hire. A Siren is the person who makes that first introduction. We handle the rest, and you're paid when it leads somewhere.

01

Get paid for relationships you already have

No selling, no quotas, no career change. You already know good people — we handle everything else.

02

It ends at the introduction

Point us to the right person, and our recruitment team runs the entire search, screening and process end to end.

03

It's a favour that pays you back

A genuine leg-up for someone you know, not a cold pitch — so it feels good to make.

How to become one

Three steps — including a real conversation, not just a form.

Siren People is invitation-only. Every applicant is screened before they're approved.

01

Apply

Tell us specifically who you know, and where — that's the part that matters most.

Meet the team
