    July was a month of reflection as the financial year came to an end, and the standard yearly reports painted a picture of how 2023 panned out.

    We saw an encouraging uptick in the number of roles released to us, especially from start-ups now looking to lock in their first sales hire after 2025 budgets have been revised.

    In other news, we are really excited to welcome Pre Patal and Justine Mitchell to the team.

    Pre comes with ten years of Tech Sales recruitment experience and has already brought energy and fresh ideas to the table.

    Justine joins as an Associate Director and has a large network of highly skilled Technical candidates who mainly work across Technical Project Services roles.

    These hires cement our position as the go-to recruitment agency in the Australian tech sector and give us an additional 30 years of combined experience for the team.

    Some of the sales roles that we successfully filled in July are below;

    – BDM – Prop Tech
    – NSW RAM – Cybersecurity
    – AE – Psychometric assessment tools
    – Solution Manager – Telco Infrastructure
