At Petstock we are passionate about supporting the communities we’re part of. Where possible we aim to hire candidates from the same geographic region (typically within a 80‑km radius) to strengthen community connections and support local economies. Whilst we do not prioritise local candidates over others, we recognise the benefits of hiring individuals who have unique insights into the local community.
