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.)

Hiring advice

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.

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.

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.

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.

Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace

Sarah McCarthy held a highly insightful and thought provoking workshop at Lookahead HQ on the topic of Diversity and Inclusion in the workplace.

Become an approved sponsor

Make sure your company is an approved sponsor. Do the paperwork before you need to, so you’re ready when that dream candidate comes along who needs sponsorship.

Let’s talk about money

At September’s installment of the SydTech Leaders meetup, the topic of the evening was remuneration.

“Although I’m not coding on a daily basis, I’ve really enjoyed meeting developers and chatting with them. 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.”
