Mission

Mission

To connect Brisbane's best tech talent with the businesses that need them most — with speed, precision, and zero compromise on quality.


We believe recruitment should be built on specialist knowledge, not volume. On relationships, not transactions. On getting it right the first time, so neither the employer nor the candidate ever has to go through the process again six months later.


That's why GRIT works exclusively in tech. It's why we go to our network before we touch a job board. And it's why every shortlist we send is one we'd stake our reputation on — because in nearly 20 years, that reputation has been everything.

[01] THE PERSON BEHIND GRIT

Built by One Person. Backed by 10 Years.

Built by One Person. Backed by 10 Years.

Chris Garibaldi started GRIT because he saw how broken tech recruitment was in Brisbane. Agencies were slow, generic, and more interested in filling quotas than making the right match. He knew there was a better way.

Over 10 years, he built GRIT from the ground up into Brisbane's go-to specialist tech recruiter — a business with deep networks, a no-nonsense process, and a reputation built entirely on results. No corporate machine behind it. No revolving door of junior recruiters. Just one standard, held consistently, across every single placement.

That standard hasn't changed since day one. It won't change now.
