Mining People International - Profile:
We place people first.
Mining People International (MPi) was formed in 1995. The founders were experienced resource industry managers who recognised a void of people recruiting for the resources sector, who also possessed appropriate high level industry experience.
The concept of a mining industry niched recruitment consultancy was formed with the building blocks laid around a powerful combination of ex-technical professionals, as well as human resource and search specialists.
Today MPi employs a large team of permanent staff in offices Australia wide and works ethically and professionally on assignments for clients around the world. We’ve stayed true to our focus and built the business around a series of niched teams who can provide expert advice regarding key business decisions as well as critical individual career moves.
