Mapping the market how we do it best

         It’s no secret that the future of the IT industry, and tech as a whole, is constantly changing. That’s why you need an ear to the ground on all the hiring happenings. Here at Talent, we have tenured specialist IT recruiters that know the ins and outs of all things tech. Whether it’s digital transformation, cloud migrations, or IT implementation projects, we have the recruiters and the candidates to power your teams. Their expertise, combined with our extensive candidate network allows us to be the go-to resource for building and powering high-performing teams.

“We want to ensure we bring value to our clients and candidates, and by sharing market insights that are not only useful, but industry-specific, empowers organisations to stay one step ahead of the game.” – Georgia Hynes, Senior Recruitment Consultant, Talent Wellington, New Zealand

Our dedication to sharing valuable market insights and IT industry knowledge makes us more than an IT employment agency – it creates a strategic partnership to power clients towards growth and innovation.

Taking care of business

Having Talent as your IT employment agency of choice ultimately benefits both employers and employees. Talent’s team of specialised IT recruiters will take care of your hiring strategy while you focus on the important things to run your business. Whether it’s interview preparation, onboarding processes, to contractor care, Talent can manage all the various hiring headaches that keep you from day-to-day tasks. 

Our world class contractor care services also provide exceptional opportunities for current and past candidates. In Australia and New Zealand, Talent’s ENGAGE platform offers a different approach to the contractor experience. It combines all the practical requirements of being a contractor with access to a unique and exclusive wellbeing and benefits program. For employers, it’s an easy and convenient tool for managing your contractors including paperless contract management and seamless timesheet approval. 

Contractor care is at the forefront of what we do. “Our dedication to candidate care led to the invention of Contractor Care Manager roles who are there to ensure our contractors feel like they’re part of a family,” says Georgia. “They’re invited to Talent events,  and generally just well looked after, ensuring we know when we need to get their current contracts extended or line up another placement elsewhere!”

When it comes to candidate care, we want our contractors to feel like an extension of our team. From interview prepping, onboarding experience, through to weekly payroll and benefits, we’ll handle all things contractor care so you can focus on business-critical projects. 

“Over the years, Talent has been a great partner when it comes to finding the most qualified candidates in the market. Their expertise within the IT space has been very beneficial to us and we have been able to place amazing candidates sourced by Talent. The work that we do with Talent is both for full-time and contract roles, and we are always satisfied with the qualified and experienced candidates they present. The Talent team is friendly, open to discussion, and quick on their response. When working with Talent, we don’t need to worry about following up because we know that everything is being taken care of by them!” – Aurora Valiente, Global Talent Acquisition Manager, Accelalpha, United States

A global reach that goes beyond

         With a global company comes our global network of qualified candidates, connecting professionals from various locations and industries. Talent’s extensive network empowers us to access a diverse pool of talented individuals who can drive projects and deliver results.

“In New Zealand, Australia and the US, our branches have a #OneTeam philosophy, meaning that we like to think outside the box and come up with solutions together for our clients recruitment problems,” Georgia shares. 

“We don’t just ask about their hiring plans or their vision. We want to know their ‘why’. We then head back into the market to find capable people who want to contribute to that client’s ‘why’.” – Georgia Hynes, Senior Recruitment Consultant, Talent Wellington New Zealand

As Georgia puts it, this is the start of building strong, high-performing teams that help organisations thrive. Our approach to recruitment is not about filling vacancies – it’s about creating powerful teams that are aligned with our clients’ vision and goals. 

Our global network of candidates is a direct reflection of the better world of work we’re on a mission to build. Having this network goes beyond placing candidates in the right roles; it means taking the extra step to ensure they’re thriving in their roles. 

“I have never before had an agency follow up with me about how I am going, if everything is OK and care about whether I have submitted a time sheet or not.” Mechan Rapp, SAP Functional Expert at QLD Health shares while being on contract with Talent. “It’s a personal touch that is different and appreciated as it’s nice to know that there is an element of care and the engagement is not just about making a margin on my rate.”

Building a better world of work is at the core of Talent’s mission. We strive to create genuine value for both individuals and organisations to foster an environment where both candidates and clients thrive. At Talent, we’re dedicated to empowering people to shape an inclusive world of work. 

Adeline Le Bris, our Senior Recruitment Consultant in New Zealand, shares the unique approach that sets Talent apart from other IT employment agencies. 

“Talent is not like any other agency I know. I have been blown away since day one on how they care for their people. From my experience onboarding and the warm welcome to all the meaningful benefits that show they value me as a person. This means I can bring the best of myself to work everyday.” – Adeline Le Bris, Senior Recruitment Consultant, Talent Wellington New Zealand
