Volunteer Day - Revitalising Sir Joseph Banks Park
We believe in volunteering and giving back at Lookahead. JP spent a day helping revitalise Sir Joseph Banks Park, a significant nature reserve on the Botany foreshore in South Sydney NSW.
CampJS X, 2019 - Broken Bay
I knew CampJS was going to be entertaining when it took 2 days to convince my colleague Shaila that unlike her experience of school camp in the UK, we would NOT be staying in a hotel.
“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.
