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
Hiring advice from our friends in tech
We asked friends in tech for their one-sentence hiring advice. Here is a list of our favourite nuggets, plus our team's top-notch tips when hiring your dream team.
4-day work week: a 2023 update
With more and more companies trialling a 4-day work week, we revisit this increasingly popular topic with new tips and insights.
Using an open source contribution to skip a take home challenge
Adam and I made a list of active open source projects that need help. If you’re asked to create code for an interview process, this feels like it could be better than a take home.
4 day weeks, 2 years in
The job that upgrades your candidate’s life the most wins, so consider a four day week to help your hiring
Now hiring product roles
We’ve been quietly hiring product roles for over a year, it’s been awesome so we’ll stop doing it quietly. A bunch of our tech recruiters have product management experience, so you’re in great hands.
10 Years of Lookahead
We love birthdays, and this year it’s a big one for Lookahead so I hope you have fun celebrating with us remotely.
