About Southern Cross Interview Solutions

Established in Melbourne, Southern Cross Interview Solutions has become a cornerstone in the world of professional interviewer training throughout Australia. For over ten years, our team has been devoted to transforming recruitment cultures within businesses both large and small, urban and regional. We were founded on a belief that recruitment should be equitable, insightful, and tailored to Australia's unique workforce landscape.

Our directors, with over 25 years of combined HR and recruitment experience, saw a need for pragmatic, up-to-date interviewer education that goes beyond bland policy recitation. Since then, Southern Cross Interview Solutions has equipped organisations in sectors such as finance, technology, healthcare, and education with skills vital to selecting the right talent. We pride ourselves on advocating for bias minimisation and culturally sensitive recruiting, in line with Australia's diverse workforce.

Our certified trainers employ nationally recognised frameworks and are passionate about the craft of interviewing — blending practical simulations, legal compliance, and real-world case studies. We cultivate environments where hiring managers become confident, empathetic, and compliant interviewers. From remote online modules to on-site workshops across the country, our solutions are as flexible and innovative as our clients need them to be.

We embrace continuous improvement, investing in our team’s professional development and collaborating with leading Australian corporations. This keeps us agile and responsive to shifts in employment law, diversity and inclusion standards, and candidate expectations. Listening is at the heart of our consulting; each engagement begins by understanding not just your roles, but your values and unique challenges.

Whether you are a small business owner new to hiring, a government department seeking compliance mastery, or an ASX-listed corporation re-thinking executive recruitment, we tailor our approach accordingly. Our bespoke programs ensure participants walk away prepared to deliver compelling, fair, and effective interviews, time after time.

We have trained thousands of professionals across every state and territory in Australia, becoming the trusted interview partner to organisations intent on building strong, inclusive teams. From designing competency-based frameworks to auditing existing processes, we offer far more than education—we are a strategic ally for companies with growth in mind.

Our mission is simple but profound: to empower individuals and organisations throughout Australia to welcome talented candidates through the door and help them thrive. We believe that recruiting successfully is about more than ticking boxes—it’s about forging the future of your team, department, and enterprise.

Our commitment to fairness, innovation, and local relevance remains unwavering. As we look to the future, Southern Cross Interview Solutions continues to revolutionise the way Australia hires, one interviewer at a time.
