Our Story

Spire Recruitment was founded in 2022 by Sara Allen, whose vision was to create a boutique, female-led agency dedicated to raising the standard of real estate recruitment in Melbourne.

 

After years of watching the industry shift - along with candidates' expectations around balance, purpose, and workplace culture - Sara saw an opportunity to do recruitment differently.

The job market

The name Spire reflects our philosophy: reaching higher, striving for excellence, and inspiring people to grow in their careers. It represents the confidence and clarity we aim to bring to every client and candidate experience.

As a boutique agency, we take the time to understand the people behind the placements. We build long-term relationships, provide tailored guidance, and stay closely connected to Melbourne’s fast-evolving property market.

At Spire Recruitment, our mission is simple: to support clients and candidates in reaching their potential and to elevate the real estate industry, one meaningful placement at a time.

Founder & CEO

Sara can be summed up by her innate drive and willingness to help others achieve their wants and goals.

Sara will be the first to tell you she does nothing by halves. She has an unwavering passion for helping people grow personally and professionally, bringing energy, insight, and genuine care to every recruitment relationship.

Sara spent more than six years in real estate, gaining a deep understanding of what it takes for an agency to operate successfully and drive results. In her first year in sales at Harcourts Tauranga, she was named Rookie of the Year and went on to consistently rank among the company’s top 20 performers. Her early success set the stage for a career defined by excellence, leadership, and a commitment to people.

After moving to Melbourne in 2017, Sara combined her love of real estate with her natural ability to connect with people by joining the city’s longest-standing real estate recruitment agency. She quickly established herself as a trusted advisor, building strong, loyal relationships with Melbourne’s leading agencies and helping thousands of people secure roles that genuinely advance their careers.

Driven by her vision to raise the standard of recruitment, Sara founded Spire Recruitment; a boutique, female-led agency built on integrity, trust, and personalised service. Under her leadership, Spire has become known for delivering tailored, results-focused recruitment solutions while fostering long-term partnerships across the industry.

Outside of work, Sara enjoys time with her two children, one in Melbourne and one in New Zealand, and is happily embracing life as a proud grandmother.
