Description

Our History

Forties People was founded by Jacqy Jacobs in response to experiencing blatant age discrimination herself.

Having been told that she was ‘too old’ for a number of positions, it became a consuming passion to create a recruitment business that offered an equal opportunity to all candidates while ensuring every client got the right skills and cultural fit for their organization.

Jacqy is a committed and vocal campaigner for age diversity and human rights in employment.

As the business has grown, Spencer, Jacqy's son has taken over the helm of Forties People.

Modestly admitting that he learnt his trade and all aspects of the business from the best teacher, Spencer and the team are committed to the entrepreneurial spirit and passion to combat ageism in the workplace that remains part of our culture and success.

Our high levels of service and quality, and our commitment to equal opportunity, have also received industry and Government recognition in the form of media coverage and awards.
