Talent has been announced as one of six top-performing private Australian companies recognised for their outstanding business performance in Deloitte Australia’s 2024 Best Managed Companies awards. It is the only Australian recruitment business to be recognised in the winners.

Now in its fifth year – and supported by Google Cloud – the Best Managed Companies program identifies and celebrates privately-owned and managed companies across Australia that set high standards of business performance and shines a light on the power of private businesses as innovators and major contributors to Australia’s economy.

The program uses a tried and tested framework for determining success, and winners are recognised based on achieving high scores across four key categories: strategy; culture and commitment; capabilities and innovation; and governance and financials.

Global CEO, Mark Nielsen, spoke on the commitment to innovation at the company.

“Here at Talent, change is our competitive advantage. We are committed to innovation, ensuring that it permeates every individual, team, and facet of our business. With an 87% employee engagement rate, we continue to strive for better in our industry and aren’t afraid to take risks, learn from our mistakes and challenge the norm. Having a culture that embraces and is energised by change means that we can identify and implement new outcomes for our customers with agility. This recognition reflects the exceptional hard work and commitment of our whole team.”

Talent Global COO, Megan Woodbury, said the organisation’s approach to continuous improvement had been crucial in its success.

“As a B2B services business, our people are our greatest asset. Creating the right conditions for them to innovate, adapt, and thrive is vital to our growth and our clients’ success. This award reflects our dedication to continuous improvement, our commitment to both contractors and clients, and our position as the market leader in technology recruitment. Congratulations to our entire team.”
