What is a recruiter and how can we help you?

If you asked me a year ago what a recruiter was, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you. Fast forward to now, I’ve been on two sides of the recruitment process, both as a candidate and now, as a technical recruiter for Digital Talent Co.  Over the last three months I have had the

The Road to Sophisticated Flexible Work Arrangements

The options for flexible work are endless, and gone are the days where bean bags and table tennis tables ticked the box for talent attraction. As employees, we are increasingly seeking out organisations that offer tailored work solutions to suit individual needs. Millennials are often labeled as the generation that care less about the dollar

Uni Grads: Why You May Be More Qualified Than You Realise

Through my network I constantly connect with university graduates who don’t know how to get their first big break in digital. Many have just completed business or law school, and feel that the course hasn’t quite equipped them with all the skills employers are seeking.

Event Recap: Creating Win-Win Flexible Work

This week we met with some of Brisbane’s best HR, recruitment and business leaders for a lunch and learn around the topic ‘creating flexible working environments.’ It’s no doubt flexible work is becoming both a dealbreaker and dealmaker in today’s workforce. Some companies do it well, some struggle, and some have no idea where to

You Can't Buy Loyalty, But You Can Win the War for Talent

As the war for talent heats up, companies are scrambling to understand how they can attract the best and the brightest technical practitioners to their organisation. In a world where many still don’t understand how these technical practitioners develop software, iOT or Robotic applications it may seem like an impossible task where more than just

Recruiting for Diversity: Beyond Women in Digital

In my experience diversity has become a dirty word. It has been marred with overzealous diversity advocates who lack clarity about what diversity really stands for. I have been floored to be mandated with providing female candidates’ resumes only, something I will always push back on believing first and foremost in merit based recruitment. In
