Atlassian asked for it so we delivered it!

ConnectTalent launches next week with the aim of connecting high quality recruiters with a market generally under serviced but vital to the Australian economy being the small and medium enterprise market.

ConnectTalent brings the digital marketplace to the Australian recruitment industry. CEO and Founder said “We know at times the recruitment industry has had a bad rap but I truly believe that a great recruiter of which they are many in Australia is invaluable to a business and thats why we are trying to work with the industry rather than against it”

ConnectTalent has tried to ally the common fears of business by allowing them to stipulate their own budget for which they are willing to pay for a professional recruiter to help them find their next employee. They have also embraced the feedback system after Joris Luijke Global Talent Chief at the “itI8” conference mentioned “A rating system would sort the good recruiters from the bad”

Asked why he decided to take the recruitment industry for his startup “I believe now is actually a really time to bring this model to the industry. Unemployment is still very low and the SME market really struggles to attract talent to their organisations but continues to shun the professional recruitment industry even though research suggests candidates still prefer to engage a recruiter to help them look for their next position” “I also believe the recruitment industry is ready to service the SME market I think we have all seen some contraction in the enterprise external recruitment sector with a lot of the larger companies bringing recruitment in house.” ‘So a digital platform

able to reach all vertices in all geographies targeting the SME recruitment market makes sense.”

ConnectTalent officially launches on June 3rd but is currently taking applications from recruiters looking to join the network.
