We genuinely believe that by connecting great people across the market we are improving the talent position in Australia.</p> <p>Through customer insight, we identified a gap in the Australian executive market between the global multinationals and local boutiques where the lack of human interaction and service offering had widened to a point where neither offered a holistic end-to-end talent solution. This insight paved the way for building a new breed of human capital offering; a ‘super boutique’ that redefines the talent management industry through Specialist Recruitment, Executive Search and Talent Advisory.</p>
