Employers 

We truly understand the needs of your business and Forties People was founded and continues today to offer mature and professional candidates that will help you meet your business objectives. 

Unlike many agencies and job boards we personally meet and evaluate every candidate that registers with us.  In this way we ensure that we are totally confident that the new employee  we present to you will meet your needs. By taking this professional approach we immediately free your time from vetting and selecting from hundreds of CV's allowing you to concentrate on more important matters.

Recruitment is a two way relationship and both candidate and employer have indvidual requirements - by taking this professional approach we pride ourselves on getting the best possible fit for your organisation.

Our History 

Forties People was founded by Jacqy Jacobs in response to experiencing blatant age discrimination. Having been told that she was ‘too old’ for a number of positions, it became a consuming passion to create a recruitment business that offered an equal opportunity to all candidates while ensuring every client got the right skills and cultural fit for their organization.

Jacqy is a committed and vocal campaigner for age diversity and human rights in employment.

As the business has grown, Spencer, Jacqy's son has taken over the helm of Forties People. Modestly admitting that he learnt his trade and all aspects of the business from the best teacher, Spencer and the team are committed to the entrepreneurial spirit and passion to combat ageism in the workplace that remains part of our culture and success.

Our high levels of service and quality, and our commitment to equal opportunity, have also received industry and Government recognition in the form of media coverage and awards.
