New Managing Director to Lead Edge Recruitment

March 26, 2024

Edge Recruitment CEO Jane Carey will step down from her role and move to a non-executive director position with the company, effective from Monday 1st April 2024.


Peta Seaman, who has been working closely with the Edge team for the last 12 months, will assume the role of Managing Director and continue to guide and grow the company. Peta has extensive recruitment experience in both Adelaide and Sydney, and is looking forward to continuing her work with the team.


Jane Carey co-founded Edge Recruitment with Gary Beesley in 1998. Edge has since grown to be recognised as the pre-eminent recruitment agency in the South Australia, working with clients in the property and associated sectors.


In 2023, Edge Recruitment joined forces with award-winning recruitment agency people2people, and while tapping into the resources of the larger company, will continue to operate under the Edge brand in the property sector.


“I have had the privilege of working with an amazing range of clients and candidates over the last 26 years", said Jane.


"The diversity of the property sector and the opportunity to make an impact on so many organisations and individuals have made this a truly amazing journey, for which I am very grateful.


“I am looking forward to working on the next stage of the evolution of Edge Recruitment at a board and strategy level. The company is in great shape and our team will continue to be focussed on what we do best – connecting people in property!”
