How to support your favourite meetups
The world has changed a lot since COVID-19, including the way meetups are run. Find out some simple ways you can support your favourite meetups while they move to online events.

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.

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.

ReactConf AU 2020
The first ReactConf AU was a huge success, and very lucky with the timing. Steve was part of the organising committee and writes about the event here.

Birthday Leave
We implemented birthday leave this year. TL;DR; your autoresponder goes on and phone goes off. Your one job is to Treat Yo Self, and tell us about it in Slack.

“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.”
Join our team
We don’t just hire for other companies; we’re also building our own dream team.
We hire people who care about technology and train them to become great technical recruiters.
Are you a developer looking for a more people-focused role? Or a product manager who wants more autonomy?
If you love technology and want to work more closely with people, Lookahead could be the perfect fit.
