Origin Energy: Case Studies

Summary

Case Study: Supporting Origin Energy with National Recruitment Across Customer Service, Sales and Response Operations

Recruiting high-performing customer and operational talent at scale

At Woods & Co Recruitment, we understand that for large customer-facing organisations, hiring the right people can have a direct impact on customer experience, operational performance and commercial outcomes.

That’s why we’ve been proud to support Origin Energy, one of Australia’s leading energy providers, with recruitment across several key customer-facing and operational functions.

For businesses operating at national scale, finding talent who can balance customer service, responsiveness and commercial performance is critical, particularly in fast-moving environments where customer expectations are high.

The recruitment challenge

Recruiting for customer-facing and operational roles at scale comes with a unique set of challenges.

These included:

  • Finding high-quality customer service professionals who can operate in fast-paced environments

  • Securing strong sales talent capable of balancing customer engagement with commercial outcomes

  • Recruiting National Response Officers who can manage time-sensitive operational responsibilities

  • Maintaining quality and consistency across multiple hires

In highly competitive hiring markets, strong candidates in these areas are often already employed, making traditional job advertising only one part of the solution.

Our approach

Woods & Co took a proactive and targeted recruitment approach, focused on accessing both active and off-market talent.

Our recruitment process included:

  • Targeted talent mapping across customer service, contact centre, operations and sales functions

  • Proactive headhunting of relevant candidates already performing in similar environments

  • Detailed screening focused on communication skills, responsiveness, stakeholder management and cultural fit

  • Close collaboration with hiring stakeholders to ensure alignment on role requirements and hiring expectations

Rather than simply reacting to applications, we worked as a recruitment partner, helping ensure hiring decisions were both efficient and commercially aligned.

The outcome

Through our partnership with Origin Energy, Woods & Co has successfully supported recruitment across multiple business functions, including:

  • National Response Officer recruitment

  • Customer Service recruitment

  • Sales recruitment

By taking a targeted recruitment approach, we’ve helped Origin access quality talent across critical operational and customer-facing roles, supporting both service delivery and broader team performance.
