Drop us a note and we’ll get back to you soon.

Good people know good people. Connect us and earn a reward.
If someone you know is looking to hire or be hired, please think of us.
We will take good care of anyone you refer. We can answer questions they have about the market or talk through ways to optimise their hiring process. We can even introduce them to other specialist recruiters if their skills are not in areas we know extremely well. So if you're unsure, refer them anyway.
Successful referrals are rewarded with your choice of a gift voucher, donation to charity or community event sponsorship to the value of $1,000. (Eligible three months after successful placement. Referral must be to a client or candidate we are not currently working with.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
Speaking at meetups is a great way to enhance your job search, but it can be daunting for first timers. Debbie has shared her experience of being a first time speaker, so you know what to expect.

Noticing an increase in hiring activity. Nearly back to pre-Covid levels.

We're getting used to being fully remote.
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.

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.”
