Congratulations, Fiona!
Fiona Chan is now a partner at Lookahead. It's a hat-tip to her years of dedication, hard work, and community involvement.
Lookahead's 2020
It was a tough year but one that we'll look back on fondly. We've learned things about ourselves and changed habits for the better. Everyone had their own unique experience but we're grateful to be in Australia, doubly so to be working in technology.
Developer Apprenticeships
Every company wants to build a more diverse team and hiring juniors helps get you there. Most companies say they don't have capacity to train juniors so our friends at Blackmill are here to fill that gap.
Understanding Employee Share Options
Employee equity is not always well understood in Australia. It's an important topic far too large for one blog post, but let's look at one common scenario.
A new look for Lookahead
After eight and bit years, we've undergone a brand refresh. Find out more about our new logo, new website, and our (slightly) new name.
Meet Shaila
We've interviewed each of our team members and will be highlighting their unique backgrounds, past work experiences and funny facts, in a series of upcoming blog post profiles' first up is Shaila Man.
ReactConf AU 2020
The first ReactConf AU was a huge success, and very lucky with the timing. Steve was part of the organising committee and writes about the event here.
Birthday Leave
We implemented birthday leave this year. TL;DR; your autoresponder goes on and phone goes off. Your one job is to Treat Yo Self, and tell us about it in Slack.
Lookahead & Sendle
When Sendle raised their Series B we completed an on-site project to help them double their team quickly. All while maintaining their very high technical bar and unwavering focus on values fit.
Become an approved sponsor
Make sure your company is an approved sponsor. Do the paperwork before you need to, so you're ready when that dream candidate comes along who needs sponsorship.
“Although I’m not coding on a daily basis, I’ve really enjoyed meeting developers and chatting with them. Having that technical background definitely helps me understand what developers and companies are after. I’ve also spent a lot of time giving people general advice on job searching and resume writing. They really appreciate that.”
Join our team
We don’t just hire for other companies; we’re also building our own dream team.
We hire people who care about technology and train them to become great technical recruiters.
Are you a developer looking for a more people-focused role? Or a product manager who wants more autonomy?
If you love technology and want to work more closely with people, Lookahead could be the perfect fit.
