Our Services

Recruitment Specialists

Every council needs help at times with recruiting critical roles to ensure the smooth running of their operations, which is why the LGAQ invested in a recruitment business that understands the uniqueness of each and every council.

Councils can seek support for executive and interim staff, along with hard to fill bespoke roles. Whether council needs a curator for a botanical garden, an engineer to build its roads or a CEO, Peak offers trusted and experienced recruiters that are invested in getting councils the best available talent each and every time.

Councils benefit from Peak’s local government knowledge, networks and ability to tailor its service for every role councils need to fill.

Having a robust process to hire, assess and develop staff has never been more critical. Arguably our team is one of the most experience in the State, providing executive search and selection across industry and job categories whether they be permanent appointments or interim placements. These processes can be underpinned by psychometric and other psychological testing as and where required.

Through our strategic partnership arrangements with leading organisational psychologists, we can also support our clients with organisation design, development, leadership coaching and talent acquisition advisory services.

    Leadership Coaching

    Peaks Services uses organisational psychologists to coach senior executives, business leaders and managers to assist them in being more effective people managers and grow their capacity to influence and lead, and in turn drive their business objectives. 

    They bring together elements of the most researched and well-founded arenas of psychology with contemporary professional coaching. The result means that people who may find themselves time limited, can adopt a program that uses the research and the best models, whilst staying very practical. The coaching can be applied to situations where someone has been identified as high potential, someone might be dealing with some development gaps, or perhaps an executive needs the forum to brainstorm and problem-solve. Typical programs involve between eight and twelve sessions and are undertaken over approximately 16 weeks.

  • We can assist in assessing your entire recruitment function and provide advice on more efficient procedures, practice and policies resulting in the best recruitment outcomes for your organisation. Our vast knowledge of internal support mechanisms required to run successful campaigns can be utilised to help overcome internal roadblocks and time delays appointing crucial staff.
