How Can We Help?

We are specialists in diversity, flexibility, and future of work solutions across the entire employee lifecycle. We offer Australia’s and New Zealand’s largest marketplace for flexible job opportunities, as well as strategy consulting, coaching, branding and training solutions to address these needs.

Our team are passionate about gender equality and will work with you to guide you through our strategies trusted by our employer partners to achieve their gender diversity goals.

FlexReady Certification 

Not only has flexible work consistently been one of the top talent attraction drivers for most organisations in recent years, it's also a key enabler of diverse talent and a 'must-have' to underpin any serious organisational D&I strategy.

Yet the challenge remains how to convincingly demonstrate your strategy to external talent.

FlexReady Certification is a shout-it-off-the-rooftop display of your genuine commitment to workplace flexibility, meaning your people are assured a career with a real chance to achieve their work-life balance goals.

FlexReady Certification is a comprehensive framework to examine every aspect of the lived experience of flexibility at your organisation, aligned to a pre-defined set of certification pillars.

Leading employers who achieve Certification are demonstrating their organisation’s commitment to providing best practice flexible work arrangements, and offers recognition for your brand.

 

Bespoke Return To Work Programs 

Return to Work campaigns are a recruitment program offering permanent job opportunities with re-entry support for experienced professionals who’ve recently been on a career break or extended absence from work.

We work closely with Australia's leading flexible employers to design programs uniquely tailored to jobseekers who are looking to successfully transition back into the workforce.

We are an experienced partner in return to work program delivery. Our solution is tailored to suit each organisation, and supports both employees and leaders to ensure program success.

The program is an end-to-end solution to attract, hire, on-board & develop your target talent pool.
