Here's your proof that strategy days don't have to be boring 🥂✨

Check out our little recap from this year's SD Breakaway at the beautiful Jackalope Hotel.

Stepping away to move forward ✨

Last week, the SD team headed to the beautiful Jackalope Hotel on the Mornington Peninsula for our annual Breakaway.

It's a day we set aside each year to reflect on what we've achieved, get excited about what's to come, and reconnect as a team away from the day-to-day.

From strategy sessions and celebrating the year that's been, to w**e tasting, great food and even better company, it was the perfect mix of planning, connection and celebration.

Here's to another exciting year ahead. 💜

What happens when AI screens out your application before a human ever sees it?

As AI becomes an increasingly common part of recruitment, it's a question more and more job seekers are asking.

We're proud to see our Co-Founder and Managing Director, Evelina Samuels, share her perspective with Yahoo Finance Australia on how AI is changing recruitment, and why the human element should never be lost.

A huge thank you to Rebel for so generously sharing her experience. Stories like hers help bring the realities of today's job market into the spotlight and start conversations that matter.

The best recruitment outcomes come from genuine partnerships 💜

Taking the time to understand our clients, providing honest advice about the market and working together towards the right outcome is what we're all about.

A huge thank you to Sarah and the team at Pacific Blue Australia for your thoughtful review. We're so grateful for the opportunity to partner with you.

One of the biggest misconceptions about recruitment? 👀

That it's transactional.

The reality is, the best outcomes come from relationships built over years, sometimes even decades.

In her recent sit-down with the Juno Advisory podcast, Sarah shared why playing the long game has always been central to how we work, and why some of our best client relationships began when they were graduates and continue today as they've grown into senior HR leaders.

That's what 'Hiring talent, the human way' means to us. 💜

This is exactly why we do what we do 💜

Recruitment isn't just about filling a role. It's about understanding your business, providing honest market insights and partnering with you to find the person who's the right fit, not just the available fit.

"So... what are your salary expectations?" 👀

It's one of the most common interview questions, but also one of the hardest to answer with confidence.

Without reliable market data, too many HR professionals are left guessing what they're worth, doing mental calculations on the spot, or hoping the number they throw out isn't wildly off.

That's exactly why we're running our 2026 HR Salary Survey.

By taking just two minutes to complete the survey, you'll help us build Australia's latest HR salary benchmarks and get early access to the insights.
