AI Recruitment Agency Melbourne | AI Talent on Demand

Our fees are typically a percentage of the candidate’s first-year salary for permanent hire and on contingent/fractional hires we charge a flat-fee on their daily rates. Unlike larger agencies, we offer transparent pricing with no hidden costs - you know exactly what you’re paying upfront. Our boutique approach means better value through personalized service, faster time-to-hire, and higher-quality matches that stick around.

For Employers:
Most of our standard tech perm placements happen within 2-4 weeks, compared to the industry average of 6-8 weeks. For specialized AI roles like machine learning engineers or data scientists, expect 3-6 weeks. For common fractional and contract roles we typically have a 2–3 day turnaround. Our success comes from maintaining active talent pipelines and deep industry networks - we’re not starting from scratch when you need someone. We’ll give you realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated every step of the way.

For Job Seekers:
Once you’re in our network, we take time to understand your career goals, not just your CV. We work with you throughout the process, from initial conversations to offer negotiations.

Think personalized service vs. assembly line. You’ll work with Melissa Bridge the Principal Consultant who will know your name, understand your needs, and are embedded in Melbourne’s tech community. We read the same blogs, speak the same language, and get the nuances of AI and tech roles that generalist recruiters miss. Working with Melissa means faster decisions, better communication, and genuine partnerships - not just transactions. We focus on quality over quantity, handling fewer searches but delivering better outcomes.

For Employers:
Absolutely. We handle permanent hires, contract placements, and contract-to-permanent arrangements. Whether you need a senior AI engineer for your next product launch or a development team for a 6-month project, we’ve got the network. Our approach adapts to what you need - sometimes that’s a full-time team member, other times it’s specialized expertise for a specific initiative.

For Job Seekers:
We work across all employment types. Looking for your next permanent role? We’ve got connections with Melbourne’s most innovative tech companies. Prefer contract work for flexibility? Our network includes startups and enterprises needing project-based expertise.

For Employers:
We go deeper than keywords on a resume. Our process includes assessments tailored to your specific requirements, cultural fit conversations, and we provide transcripts of reference checks with people who’ve actually worked with the candidate. We take time to understand your team dynamics, company values, and technical requirements before presenting anyone.

Melissa can spot the difference between someone who’s used React for a few months and someone who eats complex React problems for breakfast. Plus, we provide a 3-month replacement guarantee because we’re confident in our matches.
