Finite Recruitment

Finite Recruitment, also known as Finite Group, is a recruitment firm headquartered in Australia. The organisation specialises in supplying casual staff to government agencies, particularly those in New South Wales. Its core service involves recruiting and placing temporary workers for short‑term assignments within the public sector. By focusing on this niche, the firm serves a market that requires flexible workforce solutions for state‑run operations. The company's headquarters location situates it within the Australian labour‑market landscape.

In October 2021 the firm experienced a ransomware attack in which the Conti group claimed to have exfiltrated over 300 gigabytes of data, including financial records, customer contact databases, employee passport information and internal correspondence. Security systems at the organisation detected the intrusion and contained the breach quickly, thereby avoiding any disruption to its operational activities. Following the incident, the firm began an investigation to determine the full scope of the compromised data and has indicated plans to notify affected individuals, while noting that the impact on stakeholders appears to be limited. NSW government agencies that receive casual staff from the firm confirmed that none of their systems or services were affected by the attack. These details highlight the organisation's handling of sensitive personal and financial information and its reliance on detectable security controls to manage cyber‑risk.
