The Emploi Story

Emploi Banner

Emploi is a specialist accounting recruitment agency with offices in Perth and Melbourne. The business was co-founded by Tim Ponnusamy and Stephen Lawrence, two former accountants who combined their industry experience with a shared passion for recruitment and building meaningful professional relationships.

With a genuine understanding of the accounting profession, the founders established Emploi with a clear purpose — to connect exceptional talent with businesses where people and organisations can thrive.

In 2026, Tim and Stephen welcomed Tom Miles to the business to establish Emploi’s Melbourne office.

At Emploi, we believe the best recruitment outcomes are built on trust, understanding and long-term partnerships. Our approach is built on specialist market knowledge, integrity and long-term relationships. We take the time to understand the ambitions of our candidates and the needs of our clients, allowing us to deliver recruitment solutions that go beyond simply filling a position.

"My experience with Stephen was a very positive one. He worked hard relentlessly even on nights to ensure my profile is created in the most relevant and accurate manner to his clients. He was constantly looking out for opportunities in the professional industry to place me with the right employer having similar values. Most importantly he kept close contact with me, of the on-goings of his potential clients. He has an excellent record of placing the right person for the right job. I would recommend him to all my friends and associates for his professional service with his sincere interaction."
