The Lab17

The Lab17 provides recruitment process outsourcing through embedded in-house partnerships, working from Sydney with scaling technology companies that need a talent acquisition function built and run for them.

• An onsite dedicated account manager backed by the wider team, with process refinement, build and delivery across engineering, marketing, product, sales, finance and operations.
• Talent function foundations covering planning, ATS setup, referral programs, recruitment processes, upskilling and mentoring, plus reporting and data analysis.
• Organisational design and employer brand work including role definition and prioritisation, org chart analysis, employer brand health checks, brand representation and diversity and inclusion.
• Sourcing and interview capability spanning talent mapping, market research, candidate engagement, pipeline build, interview frameworks, interview training and assessments.

Best for: scale-ups without an internal people function that need hiring volume and speed while their own leaders are trained to keep it running.

The Lab17 provides executive search and headhunting through its leadership hiring practice for technology companies appointing senior leaders.

• Appointments made include chief customer officer, chief marketing officer, VP of design, head of engineering, head of product and director of partnerships.
• A six stage process covering requirement definition, delineation of attributes, recruitment, assessment and evaluation, candidate selection and onboarding.
• Sector focus across fintech, healthtech, blockchain and artificial intelligence businesses.

Best for: founders and boards defining a leadership role for the first time and needing an objective, structured process.
