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
Meet Nic
Introducing Nic, she is a Recruiting Veteran with over 20 years experience, starting her career hiring Cobol Developers.
Meet Kat
Introducing Kat, our Operations Manager and organiser of all things rad! Originally from the UK, she moved to Berlin where she fell in love with tech, joined RailGirls and learnt to code.
Meet Debbie
Debbie’s been at Lookahead for over two years now and in her previous life she was a Product Manager. She pioneered the four-day working week before it became popular!
Moving to four days a week
When Coronavirus hit, hiring paused for about two thirds of our active roles. It was a tough situation but it made sense. We all moved to four days a week and kept the team together.
Meet Simeon
Next in our series of Lookahead profiles, we find out all about Simeon, who has been a techie for a long time, but a musician for even longer!
Meet Fiona
Meet Fiona, one of our oldest Lookaheadians, in a previous life she was a Senior Front End Dev and Scrum Master. And she has Perfect Pitch!
Meet JP
In the latest of our team interviews, meet JP, he is a partner of Lookahead and in a previous life he was a development manager and an Agile coach before joining Lookahead!
Lookahead’s Pledge 1% commitment
Pledge 1% is a global movement of founders who pledge to give 1% of profit, product, time, equity. We pledged many years ago and I finally write more about it here.
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.
Video Interviewing for Developers during Social Isolation
While we’re all in social isolation, there are companies still hiring - they’ve adapted by replacing in person interviews with video interviews. I gave a talk at SydCSS last week explaining how to prepare.
