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
Thoughts on Negotiation
When any negotiations takes place it's good to learn some basic principals, strategies and tactics of negotiation, in order to improve the chances of a positive outcome.
Interviewing the Interviewer: Back Pocket Interview Questions
Interviews aren’t just a chance for hiring managers to question you, they’re your opportunity to figure out whether a job is ticking your boxes, too.
Project F Talent Partner Pledge
We’ve always understood the value that diversity adds to teams, companies and the broader community, so we’ve taken a step further and joined the Project F Program 50/50 Talent Partner Pledge.
Meet Dan
The Lookahead team has grown again! Dan has joined as our latest technical recruiter. He's worked as a Rails developer before, so some of you might have met him through the community already.
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.
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.
