Competitive Talent Market: Sydney’s tech sector faced a talent shortage, with top candidates favoring established firms or international opportunities. Slow Hiring Process: Manual screening and uncoordinated interviews led to a 45-day average time-to-hire, causing candidate dropouts. Weak Employer Brand: Limited visibility outside the home services sector made attracting diverse, high-caliber talent difficult. Remote Work Integration: Balancing hybrid and remote work preferences across Australia’s states added complexity to candidate sourcing.
