Our Skills
EXECUTIVE SEARCH REDEFINED
Talent Factory are market-leading recruitment specialists, founded by a desire to work more collaboratively with clients and break the status-quo of the standard, sometimes broken, recruitment model.
The majority of our work is on a retained basis- working as a strategic partner with existing client-hiring teams, or running a complete outsourced recruitment function- adding value to deliver successful outcomes for our clients and candidates.
We like to operate ‘under the radar’ but can also go ‘full noise’ when required. We take pride in our work and take as much enjoyment working with a start-up as we do with a listed entity. Our networks run deep and our longevity in a competitive and somewhat transient industry demonstrates the value we place in our reputation as well as our track record in obtaining successful outcomes for our market leading clients.
