We’re pleased to share that Troocoo has been named a finalist in the Outstanding Large Agency category at the 2026 RCSA Australia and New Zealand Recruitment Industry Awards.

To be shortlisted at a national level in this category is something we’re proud of, particularly given the calibre of organisations across the industry.

This category looks at the full experience a business creates across clients, candidates, employees and the broader community. Being recognised in this context reflects the way we approach our work day to day and the importance of delivering a consistent and considered experience across each of these areas.

Thank you to our clients, candidates and team for the trust and partnership that make this possible.

Congratulations to the other finalists. We look forward to coming together at the awards ceremony in May to recognise the work being done across the industry.

Ahead of International Procurement Day on Saturday 25 April, which highlights the growing strategic importance of procurement, supply chain management and sustainable practices across global organisations, Troocoo’s Procurement, Contracts and Supply Chain team hosted a networking and insights session at our Brisbane office on Wednesday evening.

The evening brought together procurement leaders from across different industries to explore themes from our FY25–26 Market Trends & Industry Insights Report, alongside broader global supply chain developments currently shaping the market.

The discussion moved beyond headline challenges. It focused on how organisations choose to respond in practice, from navigating ongoing disruption to balancing cost, risk and resilience in increasingly complex environments.

Just as important was the opportunity to connect. New relationships were formed, and existing ones strengthened, with open conversations reflecting the shared pressures and nuances across sectors.

Thank you to Laura Gibbons and Hayley Wilson for bringing this group together and facilitating a thoughtful, well-timed discussion.

We’ll continue to host these conversations as the landscape evolves. It’s an opportunity our team genuinely values, so if you’re a procurement leader interested in being part of future sessions or would like a copy of our latest industry insights report, please reach out to Laura Gibbons or Hayley Wilson.

Our team came together on Monday to mark International Women’s Day with a lunch for the women across our business.

While the day itself is recognised globally on 8 March, taking the time during the working day gave us the chance to pause, connect across teams and reflect on this year’s themes: and .

To help guide the conversation, each table had a few prompts to explore together. They were simply a starting point, but they opened up thoughtful discussion and reflection across the room, some of these included:
▪️ What’s something you’ve learned about backing yourself or speaking up that you wish you’d known earlier?
▪️ What’s a small change that made a big impact on your work life balance?
▪️ What’s the best career advice you’ve received that didn’t make sense at the time but does now?
▪️ When have you seen someone lift another person up professionally, and what made it meaningful?

What stood out most was how often progress comes from small, intentional actions. Such as sharing knowledge, creating opportunity, or taking the time to listen.

It was also a reminder that many of the perspectives that shape our work sit beyond our own walls. The contractors, candidates, clients and partners we work with every day all bring experiences and insights that influence how organisations grow and communities evolve.

Thank you to everyone who shaped today’s conversation, and to the many women we work alongside more broadly. The perspectives shared across our teams, and across our wider community, are a reminder of the value in sharing experience and learning from one another.

If one of the prompts resonated with you, we’d be interested to hear your perspective.

In January, a number of team members marked their work anniversary at Troocoo.

We spoke with a few colleagues who reached that milestone and asked them to reflect on their experience and what they value most in their work.

Laura, Becky and Mariana shared their perspectives, offering a snapshot of what matters to people at Troocoo, beyond the milestone itself.

A special thank you to everyone in the business who had an anniversary in January. We’re grateful for the contribution you continue to make to your teams and the broader business.

LinkedIn's 'Jobs on the Rise' report points to a deep shift in how organisations are thinking about risk, capability and leadership in the year ahead.

In recent years, with roles such as ‘Director of DE&I’ becoming more common, growth has centred on areas such as diversity, equity and inclusion, alongside remote and hybrid working. This year, the signal is different. The strongest momentum reflects a direct response to the rapid acceleration of AI and machine learning.

As AI grows, so too does the need to govern it. Many of the fastest-growing roles now fall into two distinct camps: those focused on building high-risk systems, and those responsible for oversight, compliance and risk management. Leadership structures are evolving in response to the technology.

Building on a trend that began several years ago, the expansion of the C-suite continues, with roles such as Director of Artificial Intelligence adding another portfolio to the boardroom table. For some organisations, this may mean creating a dedicated leadership role. For others, it may prompt a rethink of where accountability sits and how responsibility is distributed across existing executive functions.

Alongside these technical and governance roles, the continued prominence of positions such as Strategic Partnerships Manager and Head of Sales remains in demand. Even as tools and automation advance, these roles rely on trust, communication, judgement and empathy. Skills that are difficult to automate become increasingly valuable as workplaces grow more complex, distributed and relationship driven.

What is also notable is where this growth is occurring. Many of the roles highlighted come from established sectors, including medical, compliance and media. Transformation isn’t confined to emerging industries. It’s unfolding across traditional sectors as they respond to new expectations, tools and regulatory environments.

As organisations look ahead to 2026, the question may not be whether change is coming, but how skills, governance and leadership capability will continue to evolve alongside each other.

Is your organisation seeing similar shifts, or is change emerging in different areas altogether?

Did you know that December and early January consistently record the highest number of job applications per advert?

SEEK’s seasonality data shows that while job advertising typically declines over the summer period, candidate activity often moves in the opposite direction.

One reason is timing. With Christmas and school holidays falling in the middle of summer, many professionals step away from day-to-day work and gain space to reflect. Even if they’re not actively job searching, they’re more likely to review opportunities or update their details during this break.

At the same time, hiring slows. Annual leave, reduced team capacity and office closures mean fewer roles are brought to market, particularly in late December.

The result is a short period where candidate interest is relatively high, while competition between employers is lower. It offers a helpful data point when looking at how the market moves over the end-of-year break.

As we head toward the December break, it’s a good time to reflect on the last 12 months. In our day-to-day roles, it’s common to move from one priority to the next without pausing to recognise the progress we’ve made, both professionally and personally.

You may have learned a new skill, stepped into a new role, or delivered a project of significance to your organisation. Each of these are reasons for celebration and add momentum to your career.

We've polled our wider network on this and will share the results in the coming weeks. Until then, we hope this prompts a moment of reflection on your own progress this year.

Stepping into a C-Suite role is a meaningful leadership transition. It’s a shift from leading a function to influencing the direction of the whole organisation. Expectations increase, responsibilities broaden, and your leadership style begins to shape how others see your stewardship. The first 90 days set the tone for your tenure.

Most leaders enter with a clear brief. Early, structured conversations across teams, customers, and stakeholders help you understand the organisations’ rhythms and the nuances of how decisions are made and how the internal structure works. In an article for Switch Advisory Group that inspired this article, their CEO Nish Sampath says:

“It’s tempting to dive right in and make changes, but your first priority should be listening. Meet with your leadership team, key stakeholders, and employees across different levels to get a full picture of what’s working and where the challenges lie.”

The learning curve can be steep, and you’re expected to absorb history, culture, operational detail, and strategic priorities at pace. In your first c-suite role, decision making is often broader than you have previously experienced, it is important to not see this as a weakness but as a learning opportunity. Leaning on the strengths of your team during this period can smooth the transition and free you to focus on the broader environment.

As a senior leader, your decisions may be scrutinised more than before. Executives and their teams will be looking for early signals about your strategic priorities, how you make calls under pressure, and the leadership style you intend to set from day one. Building strong relationships across the organisation and within your external network is one of the most effective ways to accelerate trust, create alignment, and establish credibility in your new brief.

Onboarding at the executive level is as critical as any other hire. A recent survey of Australian organisations found that those with structured executive onboarding saw a 25% increase in retaining new executives beyond two years. It’s a reminder that even the most experienced leaders benefit from support.

By the end of the first 90 days, your leadership style is emerging, relationships are taking shape, and your early influence is already felt. The goal is to establish clarity, build trust, and create the foundations for long-term impact.

If you are interested in making the step-up to c-suite, or looking for advice or information on your next c-suite role, our Executive Search team are available to be contacted on:
