RECRUITMENT SERVICES
Mining
Western Australia has a brilliant future ahead for the mining industry, and mining organisations need to work with 3rd party agencies that can produce the right people for the job. Working with a recruitment company with hands-on knowledge of working underground will ensure a greater chance of success in finding the exact match for your job vacancy. Here at Diamond Recruitment, we leave no stone unturned, and our recruitment methodology will produce the results your business requires.
Ian Ryan, the Director of Diamond Recruitment spent 4 years of his life underground in Western Australia. In that time, he worked for 3 different underground companies and went from being a nipper/truck driver to a charge up from 2012 to 2016. His hands-on experience underground gives him an advantage over most recruiters who have not had that experience. Since leaving the mining industry, he has been in mining recruitment for 10 years and has placed a huge range of white collar and blue collar personnel in not only underground but surface mining as well.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
Ian worked as an external recruiter with Superior Gold (Plutonic mine) from 2017 to 2021. In that time, he would have placed 50+ candidates both in blue collar and white collar roles. It became apparent from the start that Ian had experience as an underground miner, as he knew the job titles/mining techniques very well compared to many of his competitors. Ian has an amazing work ethic and is so dedicated to his craft. I have worked with many recruiters over my career and would say that Ian would be one of the best when it comes to recruitment in underground mining.
Vicki Sekulovski
HR Superintendent, Superior Gold
Ian worked with Regis Resources before moving to Canada for 3 years. In those 3 years he placed roughly 10 engineers with Regis on two different mine sites. He is very dedicated and highly experienced when it comes to finding experienced engineers. He is passionate, trust worthy and takes instruction well. He did not once approach line and always ran communication through HR. I would highly recommend using Ian Ryan as your business's dedicated recruiter.
