Introducing Mansfield & Co Recruitment

bmadmin • April 12, 2022

We have some news.

After 11 years of Jo and Mel working together and almost six years in business, Jo recently decided to exit Blackman Mansfield Recruitment.

These changes are never easy, but ultimately it was the right one for us. We’d like to thank Jo for all her hard work, dedication, and passion over the years. She’s been an integral part of our success and we wish her all the very best.

So, what does this mean for Blackman Mansfield Recruitment?

Other than transitioning our name to Mansfield & Co Recruitment with Melanie Mansfield as our sole director, nothing changes. You can expect the same high-quality service, advice, and support you’ve come to know and trust from us over the past 6 years.

We’re proud to have supported hundreds of clients across South Australia and interstate, we’re excited for what the future holds, and we hope you’ll continue to join us on this journey.

We would like to thank everyone in our network for your support. We look forward to continuing to work with you in the years ahead.

At first glance, a job ad seems like a simple thing. List the duties, outline the experience required, add the salary, hit publish… right? In reality, job ads are often where recruitment quietly starts to unravel.  Not because employers don’t care - but because expectations, market realities and legacy role assumptions don’t always line up. And when that happens, even the most well-intentioned job ad can unintentionally work against you.
