  Executive Producer

  We're building a high performance talent agency, letting technology professionals get their stories told. We recruit technology people who have the potential to be their best, develop and coach them to maximise their strengths, and look to match them to opportunities they most wish to engage with. As we grow our talent pool and influence with engaging organisations, we'll broaden our support to those more in need - such as those with hard to solve employment challenges like the intellectually disabled - and seek to build a rising tide that lifts all our boats.We know with the future of work a more revolutionary change is coming, larger than anything we’ve seen before. In this future, we think a human-centric approach is more important than ever. By being transparent, doing what you say you’re going to do, practicing empathy often, and not cutting corners, we hope to test our inner artisans with developing people one at a time, bit by bit, with respect and care.We believe you’re the Director of your career story, but many need a Producer to help get their project greenlit.

  The Y WA

  Aug 2023 - now

  Talent Acquisition Lead

  Why am I at ‘The Y WA’?-To be apart of a meaningful movement, striving to help our children and young people in WA to flourish and develop in body, mind & spirit.My mission:-To review our existing recruitment & selection function, process, policy and user experience and co-create a high-value talent acquisition service to enable our ‘people’ & ‘growth-for-impact’ strategy. Our journey: -Transitioning from a conventional ‘recruitment & selection’ to a legitimate talent acquisition service isn’t a one-off project. it’s a journey. We’re reaching deep into our current state to capture that intimate talent & hiring manager experience, and define our delightful future state. Thankfully there is no ‘I’ in ‘TEAM’. This journey wouldn’t be possible without a dedicated Talent Acquisition and People & Culture Team who are genuinely keen to make a lasting positive impact while collaborating with our amazing Y people.
