Landscape Recruitment Specialists

Select People is Australia’s specialist landscape recruitment agency. We recruit only for landscaping and horticulture, so when you need a landscaper, a supervisor or a project manager, you’re talking to people who know the difference between the roles, the sectors and the crews.

Since 2003 we’ve made more than 7,000 placements, and our database holds around 50,000 candidates from across the industry.

Landscape construction recruitment

We recruit for residential, commercial, civil and industrial landscape construction. Each needs a different kind of person. A residential landscaper is often working directly with homeowners on detailed finishes; a commercial landscaper works to tight programs on larger sites alongside builders and developers; civil and industrial work brings earthworks, machinery and strict compliance.

We screen for the experience that matches your work, not just the job title.

Landscape maintenance recruitment

Maintenance is its own discipline. We place gardeners, maintenance crew members, team leaders and supervisors for commercial and residential maintenance businesses, council and government work, and estates and grounds teams: people who are reliable on a schedule, good with clients and careful with plants.

Where we recruit

Our process

We start by understanding the role, your sector and your crew. We search our database and network, interview and reference-check candidates, and send you a shortlist of people we’d be confident putting on your site. We support you through the offer, then follow up once your new starter has begun.

Every permanent placement comes with a replacement guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

Do you recruit casual or temporary landscapers?

Very rarely. Almost all our work is permanent, full-time placement, which lets us take the time to find people who’ll stay.

How long does it take to fill a role?

It depends on the role and location, but our database means we can often present candidates quickly, especially for landscapers, team leaders and supervisors in South East Queensland.

Do you offer a replacement guarantee?

Yes. Every permanent placement includes a replacement guarantee.

Do you recruit outside Queensland?

Yes. We actively recruit in Sydney and Melbourne as well as Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, and fill roles across Australia.

Can you help us hire an apprentice?

Yes. We place apprentice landscapers with employers ready to train them, and can talk you through what to look for.
