Who are our clients?
Read on for a richer, more distinct impression of the people and positions we serve.
The Executive Agents team has worked with over 2,000 people pursuing their career goals in metropolitan, regional and remote areas across every state and territory on the Australian mainland; and across the globe, from Europe and Africa, to the Americas and the wider Asia and Pacific region. This is why, as a team we can confidently claim expertise for emerging and traditional roles ranging from entry-level to the Board in all the major industries as well as numerous niches.
Where are Executive Agents’ clients?
Given our reach and our scope, it is perhaps not surprising that the Executive Agents client base closely reflects the 2022 employment figures reported by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Victorians are slightly overrepresented in Executive Agents’ figures, which is probably explained by the fact that we are proudly Victorian based.
Which industries do Executive Agents clients work in and for?
Executive Agents’ clients work in every industry category, major and minor, in every Australian state and territory. While the proportion of Executive Agents clients from the Health and Social Assistance and Construction industries is on a par with national averages – 35 per cent of our client base derives from the Professional, Scientific and Technical Services category, just shy of quadrupling the 8.78 per cent national average.
Additionally, over 20 per cent of Executive Agents’ clients work in government at Federal, State and Local levels.
Do Executive Agents clients come from the most senior organisational levels?
Close to one-third of Executive Agents’ clients are at C-Suite, Board, SES or EL levels for national, statewide and local organisations, as well as for some regional and global companies.
We also have a strong background in preparing materials for graduate and entry-level roles, as well as for registration and accreditation with professional bodies; and in developing website and social media content for a range of businesses, including consultancies.
How many Executive Agents clients are seeking a career change?
Many of our clients (30 per cent) are seeking promotion within their existing workplaces but more still enlist our services to support significant career changes. Thirty-five per cent of the people we work with want to apply their knowledge and skills in a new industry setting, and 26 per cent are shifting from the private to the public and not-for-profit sectors.
Are many Executive Agents clients high-profile or high net worth individuals?
Executive Agents client details and materials are strictly confidential. For the names, addresses, hopes and fears of the people we work with, you will have to ask elsewhere.
Hit Rates
Unlike those who hate to brag, we couldn’t be more proud of our exceptional hit rate. Executive Agents clients frequently get back in touch to share career successes and re-engage our services to help bring even bigger, brighter aspirations within reach.
Full disclosure: we are not in the business of magic or miracles. What we offer instead is a breadth and depth of expertise that comes from working with clients at every level of every industry in Australia and beyond – and we have the numbers to back our claims.
