Eight Recruitment 🐾

This year, Eight celebrates 10 years of supporting the local rugby community 🏉 Having left his professional playing career in Ireland, Merewether Carlton was the next rugby club Stephen showed up to with his boots on, 15 years ago now. And it wasn’t long after that when people got used to Nad’s laugh and love for a Chardy on the sideline 🫢 With all 3 Barretto kids now playing across juniors and opens there’s no place Nads and Steve would rather be on a Saturday. Although Steve’s fondest memory is playing in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade grand finals in 2011, getting a chance to see through the next generation of rugby is today's motivaton. Thank you to Merewether Carlton Rugby Union Club, Hunter Wildfires Hunter Rugby for making us part of your communities. #grassrootsrugby #yourdreamteam #eightrecruitment

Spotify Wrapped had us reflecting, but we decided to take it one step further: “If Eight had a theme song, what would it be?” 🎶 We asked the team, and we were right to be scared with the results - a playlist of bangers, belters, and absolute chaos: Nadene: Something by Roxette... No, Georgi, not Roxanne 🥴 Amy: I’m Still Standing. Just Nikki: Living her best life with Don’t Stop Me Now Stephen: Leaning all the way into I’m Going Slightly Mad Georgi: Eye of the Tiger? A classic. But Don’t Stop Believin’? She nailed it Simone: Dirty Little Freaks … no one was ready for that pick. Turns out, Eight is a walking playlist of unpredictability. 🎪 What’s your workplace theme song?

Cheers from the Eight Recruitment team – always keeping it cool (and occasionally a little extra)! 🎅🏻🤶🏻Nadene, Stephen, Georgi, Amy, Nikki, Simone & Ava #Xmas2024 #merrychristmas #eightrecruitment

Last week, Nadene, Georgi and Amy attended Business Hunter’s Infrastructure Lunch, where Tony Chappel shared incredible insights on how the NSW EPA is driving our net-zero future. Topics like decarbonisation, circular economy, and how businesses can lead in sustainability (beyond compliance) were on the menu. The ladies tried to get one of those polished business lunch photos, you know the ones….sleek backdrops, perfect poses in front of a banner, corporate kinda vibes. Think it’s fair to say that the execution didn’t quite match the vision! 🙈 Keeping it real, as always.
