About JustWorks

JustWorks is an initiative of Jesuit Social Services to support businesses to access diverse, motivated and productive candidates. To meet the recruitment needs of organisations, JustWorks works with candidates to ensure they are or are able to become high-quality employees, and to ensure their values are aligned to those of their new employer.

Through this work, JustWorks seeks to provide both the employer and the new employee with the essential ingredients for a strong and sustained relationship. 

JustWorks is founded on Jesuit Social Services’ decade-long experience engaging with and supporting diverse and marginalised candidates to flourish in their new employment relationships though our successful workplace diversity and inclusion and
employment programs.
