Careers at MAYDAY Healthcare

At MAYDAY Recruitment Group, we’re on a mission to bring care back into the recruitment industry. Since 2016, we’ve supported Australian and global businesses with tailored talent solutions that deliver exceptional results while prioritising people.

Our team blends deep expertise with a boutique, personalised approach, ensuring every client and candidate experience is handled with integrity and care. Recognised with 10 industry awards since 2018, MAYDAY proves that recruitment can be both high-performing and genuinely human.

Recruitment at MAYDAY is about both results and values – performance delivered with integrity, care and consistency.

We recognise and reward service excellence just as strongly as commercial outcomes. The way you support a candidate. The partnerships you build with clients. The moments where you go above and beyond because it’s the right thing to do. Those things matter here, and they’re visible.

You’ll work alongside people who share knowledge, networks and wins – competition is healthy, but collaboration always comes first. We grow together, celebrate together and push each other to be better together.

Most importantly, you’ll do more than succeed in recruitment. You’ll advance your career with purpose, influence and staying power, in a business that recognises and supports recruiters beyond the metrics.

At MAYDAY, our mission is simple: bring the care factor back into recruitment.

In an industry that’s often rushed, transactional, and numbers-led, we choose to slow down enough to truly listen, understand and support the people we work with.

For us, care is action.

It’s the follow-up call long after a placement is made.
It’s the honesty when the easy answer would be quicker.
It’s taking the time to know someone’s story, not just their CV.

We believe recruitment should feel human.

Candidates should feel seen, heard and supported.

Clients should feel confident, informed and partnered with.

And our team should feel proud of the impact they make every day.

Our mission is to raise the standard of recruitment by showing that when you put people first, results naturally follow. Better experiences, stronger relationships and long-term success for everyone involved.

That’s the MAYDAY difference: care that shows up, builds trust and creates real change.

Not only one of MAYDAY’s co-founders, Kat leads our people and culture as HR Director, shaping the programs, processes and initiatives that help our team grow, succeed and thrive.

A champion of our “recruitment with care” philosophy, her work is all about our people: supporting their growth, celebrating their wins and creating an environment where everyone can do their best work.

We believe your career should be clear, exciting and truly your own. From day one, you’ll know exactly what’s expected at each stage and how to progress, with transparent pathways, consistent standards and clarity around what great performance looks like.

Whether you’re drawn to deepening your craft in recruitment, stepping into people leadership or building long-term partnerships through strategic account management, you’ll have full visibility over the steps involved. Progression at MAYDAY is merit-based, with structured criteria and interview processes for leadership roles, ensuring the best person for the job always steps forward.

Meet Kat, HR Director at MAYDAY Recruitment Group.

December 20, 2025

At MAYDAY, “Recruitment with Care” is a lived daily practice, not just a slogan. And no one brings that philosophy to life more than Kat, Co-Founder and HR Director. From mentoring future leaders to shaping the programs that support our team’s wellbeing and progression, Kat plays a pivotal role in building the people-first culture we’re so proud of. We sat down with her to talk about what care looks like behind the scenes, how we support long-term growth and the little moments that make it all worthwhile. 1. What does “recruitment with care” actually mean for you day-to-day? It means treating people like people. Picking up the phone, being honest, keeping promises and remembering that every candidate is a real human with a real life. Care is in the micro-moments - the follow-ups, the empathy, the effort to really listen. 2. How do you support career growth at MAYDAY? By actually listening. We talk openly about goals, strengths, ambitions and the parts someone might want to develop. From there, we build a pathway that feels achievable and personal. Our approach includes: Clear expectations and structured progression plans Regular check-ins Access to senior mentors across the business A robust internal training calendar designed around real needs. We want every team member to see a future here and feel supported getting there. 3. What initiatives are you most proud of implementing? For me, it would be creating and implementing our people focused initiatives - the ones that genuinely make a difference in someone’s day, not just look good on paper. Things like: Stay interviews that help us understand what keeps people at MAYDAY Our return-to-work support framework The wellness program built around Move, Money, Munch and Mind Our mentoring and internal training programs The clarity of our progression plan. These are foundations, not add-ons. We’re in a constant pursuit of creating an environment where people feel supported, valued and set up for success. 4. Leading a growing team can’t be easy. What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned? Communicate everything, even the small stuff. Transparency builds trust, and trust builds teams. And be kind - to yourself and to the people around you. Leadership isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about showing up consistently with empathy and clarity. 5. What gets you out of bed in the morning (besides coffee and 4 children)? Usually my one-year-old… or my husband returning from the gym! But professionally, it’s watching people grow. I love bringing new people into the business and seeing them settle, succeed and surprise themselves. Watching existing team members step into new challenges or progress their careers is the most rewarding part of my job. 6. Can you spill the secret sauce that makes MAYDAY such a great place to work? Our people. We hire genuinely great humans, trust them, support them and keep the ego out of the room. We genuinely want the best for every person. Want to learn more about Life at MAYDAY?
