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.)
Recruiting field notes
Predictions for the year to come
Having just reached the nine year mark, Lookahead looks ahead to what could happen in the industry as we approach our tenth birthday.
Meet Sarah
Sarah's been with Lookahead for three months now, so we thought it's about time to find out a bit more about her!
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.
Notes from a first time speaker
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.
Meet Steve
In our final staff profile, we interview Steve, without whom there would be no Lookahead. He does business in the best way; finding top talent for organisations of all sizes, with clients and candidates become who long time partners and friends.
How to support your favourite meetups
The world has changed a lot since COVID-19, including the way meetups are run. Find out some simple ways you can support your favourite meetups while they move to online events.
