Candidates remember the recruiters who keep things simple: clear communication, honest feedback and genuine interest in what they're looking for.

This feedback for Pierre-Louis highlights exactly that. By taking the time to understand career goals and staying in touch throughout the process, he helps candidates feel informed, supported and confident in their next step.

A great result, Pierre-Louis, and well-deserved recognition for the trust you've built along the way.

What will the business analyst of 2032 look like? As AI transforms the way organisations work, how will the role of business analysts evolve?

Moderated by Abi Sachithanantham, with panellists Delvin Fletcher, Alexandra (A.J) Walters and Adam Higgins, the session will explore the future of the BA profession and the capabilities that will matter most in the years ahead.

📍 Sydney International Convention Centre

One candidate summed up their experience with Michael in four simple points:

✅ Clear communication at every stage
✅ Clear insight into interviewer expectations
✅ Guidance on where to focus preparation
✅ Confidence going into every interview

The result?
"It is rare to work with a recruiter who invests this level of care and transparency into the candidate experience."

Great feedback, but more importantly, it speaks to the way Michael works. Consistent communication, honest guidance and a genuine commitment to making sure candidates feel supported throughout the process.

Well deserved recognition, Michael 👏

Looking for your next move? Michael's always happy to chat. https://okt.to/yeifoX

We want people who can hit the ground running. But are we overlooking people who could grow into the role?

At our recent NextGen BA event, this question felt particularly relevant as Business Analysts, aspiring BAs and industry experts came together to discuss what it takes to build a successful career in Business Analysis.

As AJ highlighted in her event reflections, being employable means knowing your strengths, understanding the problems employers need solved, and demonstrating your value.

But what does that look like for someone just starting out?

For graduates and Junior BAs, experience can be difficult to gain when it’s already an entry requirement. Yet capability can be demonstrated in different ways:
- A university project that shows problem-solving.
- An internship that demonstrates practical skills.
- Transferable experience that brings a fresh perspective.

For employers, the answer isn’t to lower the bar. It’s to look beyond the CV and recognise the skills, curiosity and potential that people bring. Experience matters. But potential needs somewhere to start.
Building the next generation of talent takes more than finding the right people. It takes giving them the opportunity to grow.

It’s a conversation worth continuing as the Business Analysis community comes together. We’ll be supporting that conversation at the upcoming FoBA event on 23 October.

One of the strongest indicators of leadership effectiveness is what happens when the leader isn't in the room.

A simple test is to ask: Can my team keep moving without me?
- Are decisions still being made?
- Do people know the priorities?
- Can issues be solved without escalation?
- Are teams collaborating independently?

If the answer is NO, it may be worth looking at what the leadership environment is creating.

Strong leadership is about creating the clarity, confidence and capability for people to move forward on their own. The goal isn't to make yourself less important — it's to build a team that's strong enough to keep moving when you're not there.

What's one sign your team can keep things moving without you?

A job brief tells us what you’re hiring for. Knowing your team tells us who you’re really looking for. That’s exactly what Aisling Walsh brings to every search.

She recently helped a client find and onboard a high-calibre team member, looking beyond technical capability to find someone who genuinely fit the team and its culture.

What stood out was Aisling's ability to understand the brief, manage the process end to end, and provide the professionalism, responsiveness, and care that made the experience seamless for everyone involved.

A great result for the team, and a well-deserved recognition for Aisling. 👏
This is what we mean when we say recruitment is about more than the brief.

A decade ago, many technology leaders were hired primarily for their technical expertise. Today, that's just one part of the equation.

Technology leaders are now expected to influence business strategy by:
• Communicating with boards
• Leading organisational change
• Balancing innovation with risk
• Connecting technology decisions to broader business outcomes

Technical capability remains essential, but leadership capability is increasingly becoming a key differentiator in long-term success.

One advantage of spending time with technology and transformation leaders across Australia is seeing firsthand how these expectations continue to evolve. It's a trend we've been exploring through Talenza Search, alongside the leadership challenges shaping the future of technology and transformation. https://okt.to/F60Szo

Leadership influence doesn't come from authority alone. It comes from how that authority is used.

We see this play out constantly: organisations hire for Position (the role, the title) and then wonder why the team doesn't follow. Influence tends to evolve through four stages:

𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - People follow because of your role or title.
𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 - People follow because they believe in you and the relationships you've built.
𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 - People follow because they see your ability to deliver outcomes.
𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 - People follow because you've invested in their growth and success.

Great leaders rarely stop at Position. They earn trust, deliver results and build capability in the people around them, which is often the difference between a hire that fits the org chart and one that actually shifts the organisation.

That's the leadership we look for, and the leadership we help our clients build. Where does your organisation tend to get stuck: Position, Trust, Results, or Development?

Trust in recruitment is built in the small things.

For Kieran Waite, that means doing what he says he’ll do, following up when he says he will, and making sure candidates know they’re being looked after throughout the process.

That consistency can make a real difference to the candidate experience. It’s how professional relationships become trusted ones.

A lovely reflection of the way Kieran approaches recruitment: with care, communication and a genuinely human touch.
