partners in performance

Established in 1996, PIP is a dynamic and fast-growing company that delivers rapid, sustainable results and builds better businesses for our clients. As PIP continues to expand into new geographies and industries there are opportunities for motivated individuals to join the PIP team.

We deliver results...

PIP has built a solid reputation for delivering fully implemented, bottom-line improvements to clients across a wide range of sectors and countries. The majority of our work is helping management turn around a business rapidly. This means that we focus on the highest value levers – usually around increasing production and revenue and improving cost efficiencies.

...across different industries

While PIP is primarily known for its core work in heavy industry, industrials and resources, our methodology is found to be equally applicable in the service industries, where PIP is expanding.

...different geographies

Our clients are often global leaders and blue chip companies in Australasia, North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
Successful PIPers typically possess attributes such as resilience, flexibility, smarts, passion for results, a ‘can do’ attitude and a sense of humour. They are also role models for the firm’s values. We value strong problem solving skills and we look for people who can also communicate, build strong relationships and influence at all levels of an organisation, including coaching and building a team.

Some of the qualities we seek in potential PIP recruits are:
  • Problem solving and analytical skills: an ability to dissect complex problems and quickly identify the critical levers to effect positive change.
  • People skills: excellent communicator – establishing rapport, listening, building trust, coaching and mentoring and strong interpersonal skills.
  • Energy: a high level of energy and an ability to motivate and inspire others; fun to work with.
  • Leadership: leading people and building a team.
  • Passion for results: relentless focus on delivering results, pragmatic bent –interested in
  • having a real impact.
  • Role models: individuals who are a good match with PIP’s values.
Applying to PIP

At PIP, we search the world for the best and brightest people in their field. We only recruit those who can demonstrate the aptitude and ability to help turn businesses around.

We have a rigorous recruitment process at PIP to assess capabilities, and applicants must also pass the test of ‘someone we’d be happy to sit next to on a 10-hour flight’. Potential PIP recruits undergo an introductory interview plus three separate phone or face-to-face recruitment interviews (each about 90 minutes duration). Ideally we would conduct all inter- views in person, but as we are recruiting from around the world and our people are also in different locations, this is not always possible. In most cases at least one interview will be face-to-face.
  • Introductory interview: conducted by core PIP members to provide information about PIP, discuss working opportunities, what to expect, assess compatibility between your career objectives and experience and PIP. This will also give you an opportunity to ask any questions about PIP.
  • Recruitment interviews: the primary focus of the initial interview is twofold. Firstly, it is to identify practical people with the ability to drive for results. In addition, it tests problem solving capability (an absolute prerequisite for joining PIP) via case studies and to discuss your past experiences. We also look at other criteria such as communication skills, fit with PIP values and relevant education and professional experience. The interview process also allows you to get to know PIP better and give you the opportunity to determine whether this is the right company for you as well.

 

Unleash potential working for a leading edge management consulting firm.
Work for numerous clients across Australia and globally! 

Partners in Performance (PIP) delivers rapid, sustainable results! 

PIP is a global management consultancy with our Head Office in Sydney where the business was established back in 1996. 

At PIP, we don’t just focus on results, we work alongside our clients to deliver them.

We get excited when we see production increasing, sales accelerating, service improving, costs falling - not when we see charts showing opportunities for someone else to chase.

We don’t tell managers how to make change happen, we roll up our sleeves and work with them until it’s locked in.

We have plenty of smarts, but zero interest in being the smartest guys in the room. You’ll find us on the shop-floor, not in an office tower. We’re more likely to be wearing steel-caps than loafers.

300-page slide decks and blue books are not our thing…moving the dial in real time is.
