“Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.” – Steve Jobs

BNP Consultants

Experienced, senior recruiters only last in the recruitment industry because they have a genuine talent & desire for it!

“Experience” in recruiting means - knowledge, networks, contacts and skills. It means that they understand what client companies want / need but more importantly how to find the top candidates (continually) that no one else can.

Experienced recruiters are quality people, genuine, ethical and believe in relationships, over business deals. This is why they have longevity in this industry and succeeded where so many have not.

Our 14 affiliated Independant recruitment specialist are spread through-out Australia .They are “all in”, genuinely invested in the make or break of their business and lively hood. They have no safety net, no weekly pay handed to them for an average performance.

They are the real recruiters, making real connections with great companies and candidates.

Meet the Principals

Terry Blake

Managing Director

Prior to recruitment Terry worked abroad for a number of years in Sales, Business development, Transport & Logistics, Construction & Manufacturing.

Terry now has over 20 years’ experience in recruitment at all levels, having started out in a ‘not for profit’ company to working with several tier 1 nationally recognised agencies.

He also established an office in Brisbane for an international recruitment company building a successful company with 21 affiliated to 25 consultants.

After many years of working for several recruitment companies, he decided to create Blake Personnel which after 6 successful years became Blake National Placements (BNP), this was done to build a national footprint and presence.

Terry established BNP to give a "reinvented" style of recruitment with a team of consultants who have worked in the industries they now recruit for.

His philosophy is ‘It’s all about building relationships, being genuine and having positive out-comes for everyone’.
