I could see that these well run, sometimes high profile organisations were looking for a professional recruitment service from a local company supplying the best local talent. and, the candidates wanted to work for these companies, seeing real career growth without the long commute to the city.

so, this local need gave me the vision and my recruitment background and training gave me the qualification, together with the incredibly talented people I’ve had the pleasure of working with, to create the recruitment service that I am very, very proud to call norwest Recruitment today.

and here I am, my twins 15 (and their little brother now too) with two strategically positioned offices – southwest Recruitment in Wetherill Park and norwest Recruitment in the norwest Business Park.

We are focused on improving the productivity of businesses by placing highly skilled candidates, fostering careers and giving back to the community that has welcomed us since July 2002.

Erica Westbury managing director - Norwest Recruitment

In 2001, while I was on maternity leave with my newborn twin boys, I watched the norwest Business Park attract global, professional businesses with interest. I was also witnessing the incredible residential growth in the area. meanwhile I had a busy role in the recruitment industry waiting for me in the CBD.

I started researching and discovered there were already 30 recruitment agencies operating in the business park. Companies were also being serviced by internationally owned recruitment agencies from offices in Parramatta and the City but I was getting a sense that hiring managers and business owners weren’t happy with their service. they were sick of their temps turning up late because they were coming from across the other side of sydney and pulling out of their assignments half way through because they were offered something closer to them. they wanted local candidates and the local recruitment agencies didn’t seem to have the right due diligence, procedures, training and standards.

after having a successful Recruitment and management career in the city, erica started up norwest Recruitment in 2002.

since its’ inception, norwest Recruitment has been a multi award winning business, made the BRW Fast 100 list; ranked norwest Recruitment 47th fastest-growing small to medium-size business.

Erica then opened another office in Wetherill Park, Southwest Recruitment to service the clients in the south West of sydney, another high growth business and residential area. adding to her list of achievements, erica won the teC (the executive Connection) CeO of the year award in 2011 and is a judge for the annual telstra Business awards.
