Who We Are
E4 People is an Australian healthcare staffing agency founded in 2012 and headquartered in Sydney. We provide aged care, hospital, allied health, and travel nursing staff to more than 700 clients across the country, with over 7,000 placements completed and a 4.9-star rating from 300+ Google reviews.
We were known as E4 Recruitment from our founding in 2012 until our 2025 rebrand. The bright pink logo, the four E values, and the team behind it all stayed exactly the same - only the name changed, to better reflect what the business has always been about: people.
Our tagline - Connecting Care Confidently - reflects what we do every day: matching the right healthcare professional to the right role, with confidence on every side of the placement.
Why we’re called E4
"You're called E4 People, but why?..."
Our co-founders, Edward Freeman and Josh Hill, believed four key ‘E words’ defined a great healthcare recruitment agency. Those four E’s became the company name in 2012 - and they’re still the values we operate by today.
These four E’s form E4 and represent the core values we stand by:
Excellence
Ethical
Enthusiastic
Engaging

Our Vision
“To be Australia’s most recommended staffing brand”
E4 People’s vision is to be Australia’s most recommended healthcare staffing brand. We measure progress against this vision in three ways: our Google rating (currently 4.9 stars from 300+ reviews), our client retention rate, and the proportion of placements that come from candidate referrals.
It’s not just a statement - it’s the shared goal that shapes how every member of our team works, treats each other, and serves our customers.
Our Story So Far
From a two-person joint venture in a Darling Point apartment to a national healthcare staffing brand with a Sydney HQ and a team of fifty - here’s how the last 14 years have looked.
E4 kicks off in Darling Point, Sydney, as a joint venture between Edward Freeman and Josh Hill.
After a year of working from Edward’s apartment, we got our first official office! (A shared office space in Camperdown).
We get our first office all to ourselves - Stanmore.
We make our first hire, Sandra Adzic. Sandra’s still with us today as our longest-serving team member!
Katie Owen joins the E4 team!
The team grows from 3 to 9, and our tiny office gets way too snug. Time to move to the big smoke, and Clarence St becomes our new home.
In 2019, we made a big change. We shifted from being a specialist permanent recruitment agency, to temp and contract recruitment also.
COVID hits, and things get hectic. Our team steps up to support massive staffing needs day and night.
With 20 team members and our Hospitals & Remote Care division booming, we’re on the move again!
Big wins! We’re awarded more tenders, grow our reach across Australia, and settle into E4 HQ in Town Hall. Plenty of space – phew!
Key specialists join us (Finance, Marketing, L&D, Partnerships), and our systems get a big upgrade to give clients and staff a premium experience.
We rebrand! E4 Recruitment becomes E4 People. Same bright pink agency, but with even greater confidence in our impact on care delivery across Australia every single day.
