About Us
The Altitude Story
Altitude is the brainchild of Paul Halstead and Damian Procter, two avid enthusiasts in the Melbourne IT Recruitment sphere who worked together previously for seven years. They wanted to perform IT recruitment in a very different manner to the rest of the market and it was this vision that inspired them to establish Altitude in 2016 as a customer-centered, professional recruitment and advisory consultancy.
With Paul now following his passion for building automobile masterpieces, Altitude has continued to grow from strength to strength with Damian and a dedicated team of consultants, providing personalised recruitment services across a specialised range of roles.

Candidate Care
Let’s be honest; job seeking can be a challenging process. Our team at Altitude understands this so we take great pride in providing you a quality recruitment experience.Â
OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS
- When we advertise a role, depending on the volume of applications and key skills required by our clients, we initially only contact shortlisted candidates and then notify all applicants when the role is closed.
- Where you’re shortlisted, our team will take the time to really understand what you’re seeking in your next role and give you a detailed brief of the opportunity at hand to assess its suitability to you.
- Our commitment to honesty and transparency means that you’ll be represented fairly to our clients.
- You’ll be kept aware of where you are in the recruitment process and we’ll strive to provide a personalised level of care and service through:
- the initial phone screen and internal interview
- helping you through preparation for the client interview
- accepting the offer, assisting you through you resignation and signing the new contract
- assisting in your onboarding
- helping you get settled into your new role.
- We will work proactively on your behalf as we partner with our clients who are equal opportunity employers that actively embrace diversity in their workforce irrespective of gender, age, culture, thought and work arrangements.
