    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
    – Senior BDM – AdTech
    – AE – Healthcare Rostering Platform

    How to Prepare for a Sales Role Play Interview

    You’ve passed the phone screen. You’ve nailed the first round. And now the hiring manager has just sent through a calendar invite with two words that send a chill down every candidate’s spine: role play. For many tech sales candidates — even experienced ones — the role play interview is where confidence evaporates. Suddenly, all…
    Stop Treating Talent Connections Like Leads

    Imagine walking into a high-end, exclusive networking event. You see an influential industry player standing by the drinks. You walk straight up to them, skip the pleasantries, slide your business card into their jacket pocket, and say, “Hi, I’m looking for a job. Let me know if you hear of anything that fits me.” Then…
    Why Your Personal Brand Is the Only GTM Resume That Matters

    There is a parallel universe in Go-To-Market (GTM) hiring, and if you are relying on standard job boards, you are entirely locked out of it. Here is the uncomfortable truth about the tech sales landscape today: The best GTM sales roles are almost never publicly posted. By the time a Head of Sales, VP of…
    Why Today’s Tech Layoffs Are a Structural Redesign, Not a Correction

    Over the last few years, a quiet but unsettling realization has rippled through the global technology sector. The steady drumbeat of workforce reductions, restructures, and corporate downsizings has refused to fade into the background. For a long time, the industry told itself a comforting lie: that this was all just a temporary hangover from the…
    The Skills Upgrade: Why Titles Matter Less Than Capabilities

    For decades, the professional world ran on a standard currency: the job title. Your title defined your authority, your daily tasks, and your trajectory. When a company needed to grow, HR drew up a new static job description, matched it to a title, and went to market. It was a clean, predictable system designed for…
    Mastering the Hybrid Interview

    By 2026, the traditional corporate interview has officially fragmented. The days of shaking hands, judging a company’s culture by its office espresso bar, and reading an interviewer’s posture across a physical mahogany table are largely remnants of the past. Today, the hiring gauntlet is overwhelmingly hybrid. Initial chemistry reads, deep-dive technical panels, and even final-round…
    Fractional Work & Project Portfolios: The New Way to Career Insurance

    For decades, the standard recipe for professional security was simple: find a stable company, climb the linear corporate ladder, and collect a predictable paycheck. A single employer was your anchor. But by 2026, that anchor has started to feel a lot more like an anvil. The modern job market has undergone a fundamental, structural shift…
    Soft Skills Are the New Power Skills

    Walk into any coffee shop, scroll through LinkedIn, or sit in on a corporate town hall, and you will hear the exact same syllable repeated like a mantra: AI. Everyone is rushing to learn ChatGPT prompting, master Midjourney, analyze data with Claude, or automate their entire workflow. We are told—at a deafening volume—that if we…
    The Modern Cover Letter: Short, Targeted, Powerful

    Let’s be completely honest: most cover letters are absolutely terrible. They are dense, generic, and painfully boring to read. They usually sound like a robot trying to mimic a 19th-century lawyer, packed with phrases like “Dear Hiring Committee, I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest in…” followed by a wall of text that just…
    How to Stand Out in a Crowded Job Market

    Let us be honest: applying for jobs can feel like shouting into a void. You spend hours crafting an application, click submit, and then hear nothing. It is demoralising, and it is an experience many job seekers are all too familiar with right now. The good news is that the problem is rarely a lack…
