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 People BEHIND GRIT

The people behind GRIT
As the Director and Founder of GRIT Talent Consulting, Chris Garibaldi has been working within the Tech recruitment sector since 2004. With over two decades of experience, networking and relationship development, he has built the know-how and understanding to ensure that the GRIT team delivers for both employers and candidates.
GRIT was founded in 2016 with a delivery-first ethos, and this is ingrained in everyone who joins the team. Delivery for clients, and delivery for the candidate and contractor experience. We do this through a consistent approach to urgency, the rapid execution of our role in the
process, employing best-in-class systems and AI tools, and communicating with all parties to maintain engagement and momentum. We are an outcomes focused team, working with clients ranging from tech start-ups, founders, SMEs, to Local, State and Federal governments, to large scale enterprises and larger not-for-profit organisations. While our work has traditionally been heavily engaged in labour-hire and contractor recruitment for projects with larger scale businesses and
government, the past two years have seen a resurgence in demand for permanent technical roles. Our experience traverses the full spectrum of requirements within the tech pillar of recruitment.
Follow us and our team on LinkedIn, to keep up to date with who we are, and how we can help.
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.
