Brunel's culture and values
This is who we are
Why Brunel
Strong values and partnerships - for over 50 years
In 1975, our company founder Jan Brand made his technical expertise available on a project basis for the first time. His goal was to enable more flexibility and drive technological progress. To this day, this intention remains the foundation of our diverse and sustainable activities.
Over the last 50 years, we have built a truly sustainable and durable business model: connecting specialists to exciting career opportunities, supporting the development of these careers and offering fair and equal employment.
Brunel's core values
Brunel core values are at the centre of everything we do for our clients, colleagues and ourselves.
Passion for people
The sum total of the people who have led and developed this company and all the individuals who currently live out this culture. We protect our future by sharing our thoughts, ideas and methods, promoting an attitude of understanding between cultures and individuals.
Integrity
Delivering a high standard of service and taking care of the people around us is of the utmost importance. An atmosphere of trust and personal responsibility guides us in everything we do, always within the framework of full global compliance.
Results-driven
It takes results-driven actions and the will to succeed to find the straightest path to your goal. We consciously seek out people who consistently strive for excellence and exude an enthusiastic personal energy. When we find them, we challenge and nurture them.
Entrepreneurship
Whatever we do, we uphold a standard of quality that meets the exacting demands of our clients. Only then do we deliver results matching our personal and entrepreneurial goals, united by passion, drive, and a shared commitment to exceed expectations.
Querida Swinnerton,
Director ANZ
My team and I pride ourselves on our professional integrity, commitment to achieving results, genuine passion for the people we work with and an entrepreneurial spirit which challenges us to continually question assumptions, innovate our methods and surpass existing standards.
Our people, our culture
We embrace a culture of humanocracy. Our people are empowered to take initiative, share ideas and collaborate beyond traditional hierarchies - giving everyone an opportunity to contribute and grow. This approach ensures our teams are agile, accountable and driven to deliver the best outcomes for our clients and candidates.
Our core values underpin everything we do at Brunel.
Locally, we have implemented our own humanocracy charter that further develops on our passion for people - creating an organisation that is amazing as its people

Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging at Brunel
Brunel is committed to creating a workplace that allow our people to feel they can be their true authentic selves. We take a global and regional approach to Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging, following four pillars which form our DIB framework - and have an established set of global targets which are reviewed annually to ensure we achieve our goals.
Our pillars of diversity
Leading an inclusive culture
Leaders shape culture through their decisions, behaviours and priorities - and when they actively champion inclusion, it signals to employees that every voice is valued and respected. At Brunel, we are committed to building a diverse leadership team that brings varied perspectives to the table, strengthens decision-making and drives innovation.
Education
Brunel is committed to continually strengthening our diversity and inclusion capabilities, ensuring our people have the knowledge and tools to embed inclusive behaviours in everything they do. Through education and internal initiatives, we strive to create a workplace environment that everyone feels they belong.
Recruiting, developing and retaining talent
Diversity and inclusion are not just part of Brunel - they are essential to who we are. Our commitment begins at the very start of the hiring process, where we actively seek diverse representation among new hires. We also prioritise building internal leadership pipelines, supporting career development and ensuring pay equity to create a workplace where everyone can thrive.
Community
At Brunel, our specialists, employees and clients are part of one community – one that promotes an inclusive culture that fosters engagement, supports growth and celebrates shared success. Guided by our regional DIB Councils, we lead initiatives that educate and empower our people, reinforcing the importance of understanding, inclusion and belonging.
