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
Welcome, Fiona Chan!
I’m excited to announce Fiona Chan is joining us! The Sydney team has significantly levelled up its recruiting AND baking ability.
Welcome aboard, JP!
JP moved to Sydney 4 years ago. After helping him land 2 of his 3 jobs here, we’re excited to have him join us on the other side of the interviewing table.
RubyConf open dinner experiment
RubyConf Australia was at Sydney’s Luna Park this year. We threw a dinner that every attendee and speaker was welcome to attend, right after day one was complete.
We’ve gone full Melbourne!
It’s Friday afternoon and an exciting, albeit short week is being wrapped up. I’ve been in the new office of Lookahead Search Melbourne: 673 Bourke Street, right near Southern Cross station.
Steve featured in Offscreen Magazine
I’ve been a fan of Offscreen Magazine since it started last year. The idea of reading about people in the web industry away from our overused screens is a winner.
Don't work
Reminds me of the saying “Do something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”.
