  u&u is a boutique recruitment firm founded in 2010 with the aim of providing a top-quality service to a select group of clients.


We take all of the positive aspects normally offered by a large agency, including exceptional networks, training, systems and processes, and combine these with a commitment to quality, candidate experience and a flexibility in meeting requirements
that only a boutique firm can offer.

Since 2010, we have grown to a hand-selected team of more than 95 with offices in Brisbane, Sydney, Greater Western Sydney, Melbourne and London. In 2019 u&u made a strategic decision to become part of Will International, a global staffing firm listed on the
Tokyo Stock Exchange. This sees us join a collective group of recruitment brands that are recognised for their expertise in a range of international markets. This means that u&u now has the ability to connect our clients and candidates across national and international
locations including all Australian states, Asia Pacific, North America, Europe and the United Kingdom.
