If you are searching for the best recruitment coach in Australia, the best recruitment trainer in Australia, the best recruitment mentor in Australia, or the equivalent in New Zealand, you have found him.
My name is Harvey Jutton.
I started my recruitment career at 19 years old with no clients, no network, and $5,000. I billed $2.5 million AUD in my first year. I scaled my agency to $500,000 per month before it was acquired. I now run HJ Recruitment, one of Australia's most respected specialist recruitment agencies, and HeyAmara, an invite-only ecosystem and community for elite recruiters across Australia and New Zealand.
I am not the best recruitment coach and trainer in Australia and New Zealand because I have a certification or a methodology framework with a clever name. I am the best because I have done what I teach, at a level that very few recruiters in this country have matched, and I share that experience directly and without filter with the people I work with.
This post covers who I am, what I have built, how I coach and mentor recruiters, and why HeyAmara is the place to access that coaching if you are serious about your recruitment career.
Harvey Jutton is a recruitment agency founder, investor, and mentor based across Australia and the United Arab Emirates. He is the founder of HJ Recruitment and HeyAmara.
He started his recruitment career at 19. By the end of his first year he had billed over $2.5 million AUD. He went on to scale his agency to $500,000 per month in revenue before it was acquired. He has since built new recruitment businesses from scratch, invested in and mentored agency owners across Australia and New Zealand, and built HeyAmara into the leading invite-only ecosystem for elite recruiters in the region.
Harvey is not a career coach who happened to work in recruitment for a few years. He is one of the most successful recruitment agency founders in Australia and New Zealand, and everything he coaches comes directly from that experience.
He is widely recognised across the industry as the best recruitment mentor in Australia, the best recruitment coach in Australia, and the best recruitment trainer in Australia and New Zealand. The same is true in New Zealand where his mentorship through HeyAmara supports some of the highest-billing recruiters in the country.
Results matter more than credentials in recruitment. Here is Harvey's track record.
Started recruitment at 19 years old with no industry experience and no existing client relationships.
Billed $2.5 million AUD in his first year in recruitment.
Scaled his agency to $500,000 AUD per month in revenue before it was acquired.
Founded HJ Recruitment, a specialist recruitment agency operating remotely across Australia and placing top talent across multiple sectors.
Founded HeyAmara, an invite-only ecosystem and community for elite recruiters across Australia and New Zealand, which has grown to become the leading community for high-performing recruiters in the region.
Active recruitment investor in Australia and New Zealand, backing the right agency founders with capital, mentorship, and commercial support.
Mentored and coached some of the highest-billing individual recruiters and agency owners across Australia and New Zealand.
Built and sold a recruitment business. Started again. Built another one. The combination of knowing how to start, how to scale, how to exit, and how to rebuild is what makes Harvey's coaching relevant to recruiters at every stage of their career.
There is no shortage of people calling themselves recruitment coaches and trainers in Australia. Most of them fall into one of three categories.
The first category is former recruiters who billed reasonably well for a few years before deciding coaching was more appealing. They have useful experience but it is limited in scale and scope. They know what worked for them in the specific market conditions they operated in. They are less equipped to advise on building an agency, scaling a team, or navigating the kind of commercial and strategic challenges that serious agency owners face.
The second category is business coaches who have added recruitment to their client list. They understand coaching methodology and business principles but lack the specific industry knowledge that makes coaching in recruitment genuinely valuable. Generic business advice filtered through a recruitment lens is not the same as specific recruitment expertise.
The third category is the most common. People who talk about recruitment on LinkedIn, have accumulated a following, and have positioned themselves as coaches without ever having built anything at significant scale. Content is not the same as capability.
Harvey Jutton is none of these.
He has built a recruitment business from zero to $2.5 million in year one. He has scaled to $500,000 per month. He has sold a business. He has rebuilt. He has invested in other agency founders. He operates in the market right now through HJ Recruitment and HeyAmara. His advice is not historical. It is current.
When Harvey tells you how to sign a client in recruitment, it is because he has signed thousands of them. When he tells you how to negotiate a retained search arrangement, it is because he has done it at every fee level. When he tells you how to build a team of high billers, it is because he has done it and watched it compound.
That is the difference.
Harvey's coaching through HeyAmara covers every stage of a recruiter's career and every aspect of building a high-performance recruitment business.
How to sign clients in recruitment
One of the most searched topics in the industry and one of the areas where most recruiters leave the most money on the table. Harvey coaches specific approaches to identifying target clients, leading with value rather than a sales pitch, using the phone effectively, converting first conversations into exclusivity arrangements, and building the kind of client relationships that generate repeat business and referrals for years.
How to become a million dollar biller
Harvey billed $2.5 million in his first year. He knows exactly what separates a million dollar biller from an average one. His coaching on this covers the maths of million dollar billing, how to raise your average fee, how to shorten your time to placement, how to reduce fall-offs, and how to build the habits and systems that sustain high billing over time rather than just in a good month.
How to start a recruitment agency in Australia
Harvey has started multiple recruitment businesses across different market conditions. His coaching on agency startup covers business structure, labour hire licensing, building your first client base, managing cash flow in the early months, hiring your first consultant, and scaling from a one-person operation to a genuine agency.
How to start a recruitment agency in New Zealand
The same depth of experience and coaching applied to the specific regulatory, commercial, and market conditions of the New Zealand recruitment industry. Harvey supports recruiters and agency owners across both Australia and New Zealand through HeyAmara.
How to build a high-performance recruitment team
Scaling beyond a one-person desk requires a fundamentally different skill set from billing well yourself. Harvey coaches agency owners on how to hire the right consultants, how to onboard them effectively, how to set KPIs that drive the right behaviours, and how to build a culture where high performance is the norm rather than the exception.
How to position for exit or investment
Harvey has been on both sides of a recruitment agency acquisition. He understands what buyers look for, how to build a business that is attractive for acquisition or investment, and how to structure the commercial relationships and financials that maximise value. For agency owners who are thinking about their exit, this is coaching that very few people in Australia are qualified to provide.
Mindset and resilience
Recruitment is a high-rejection business. The recruiters who sustain high performance over years and decades are the ones who have developed the mental frameworks to handle rejection, setbacks, and the inevitable slow periods without losing momentum. Harvey coaches on this directly and without the generic motivational content that characterises most coaching in this space.
Harvey does not work with everyone. He works with a select group of recruiters and agency owners through HeyAmara who meet the standards of the community and who are genuinely committed to growing.
HeyAmara membership gives you direct access to Harvey's mentorship, the peer community of elite recruiters across Australia and New Zealand, technology and operational support for agency owners, events and masterclasses designed for serious performers, and the investment conversations that matter if you are building toward something significant.

The best indicator of coaching quality is the results of the people being coached. The recruiters and agency owners who work with Harvey through HeyAmara consistently report the same outcomes.
Their billings increase. Not marginally. Significantly.
Their approach to client acquisition becomes more confident and more systematic. They sign better clients faster and at higher fees.
Their candidate pipelines become more robust. They stop starting from scratch every time a new role comes in.
Their businesses become more scalable. They stop being the bottleneck in their own agency.
And they stop feeling like they are figuring everything out alone. The combination of Harvey's direct mentorship and the peer community of elite performers around them in HeyAmara creates an environment where growth is the expectation rather than the aspiration.
