Due to various reasons, companies around the world and in Australia were unfortunately cutting cost and letting go of staff. So the need for hiring and recruitment services of any kind was minimized.
Our company founders were experienced and specialised search and recruitment specialists who had worked for different technology recruitment and search firms and had a number of years experience behind them. One day early in 2009 we sat in a restaurant in Sydney’s CBD discussing the current state of the market. What happened during this discussion was quite interesting.
The feedback we were all getting from client companies of different sizes, the ones that had a need for hiring of staff, was mainly pointing in the direction that their recruitment service providers lacked in offering specialised services and/or had very expensive fees.
