Join our lovely team as a technical recruiter.
We hire people who care about technology and train them to become great technical recruiters.
“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.”

Technical Recruiter since 2015
Technology at
the heart
We know what it takes to build great software. With first-hand industry experience, we understand what a talented and diverse team can accomplish.
If you love technology and are curious about what a people-focused role looks like, apply now. If you have that technical grounding and have recruited before, we'd be especially keen to hear from you.
What you can expect
From day one you'll have clients who need help hiring software engineers, paired with another Lookahead recruiter who will show you the ropes.
You'll use the knowledge you gained working in software to spot talented developers, visit potential new clients and work out whether they're the kind of place where engineers do their best work. You'll get involved in technical communities, attend meetups and conferences and stay close to what's happening in tech.
You'll join a supportive, diverse team who love sharing what they know. Lunch, impromptu gelato runs, quarterly get-togethers and an annual Team Hang.
What we're looking for
A genuine interest in technology.
It's hard to fake caring. We're all involved in the web development community and passionate about giving back.
A long-term focus.
Recruiting can be simple but it's never easy. Give us a year to show you the ropes and we'll keep it interesting every year after that.
The ability to write well.
Recruiters are professional communicators. We need people who are clear and confident in writing, in person and on the phone. A sense of humour. We take the work seriously, not ourselves.
The benefits.
- Four day weeks
When Covid hit we stopped working Fridays and found we got just as much done Monday to Thursday.
- $80k–$100k + super + comms
$80k to $100k plus super for four days, depending on experience. There's a generous commission scheme and profit share on top of that.
- Extra annual leave
Up to five weeks annual leave after your first year, then up to six weeks after your second. We're flexible on remote and in-office time.
- All the tools
You'll be set up with a high end computer, tablet and covered mobile. We don't skimp on technology or on training. No one joins a company for team building events but ours are pretty good.
- Pledge 1% members
We're proud Pledge 1% members — pledging 1% of our profits, time and product. There's volunteer leave to spend on a cause of your choosing.
Sound interesting? Apply now.
Technical recruiting is a wonderfully rewarding career for the right people. Reach out if you're even just a little bit curious.
