Insights & Trends in Marketing Recruitment

Why Tech Hiring in Sydney & Melbourne Feels So Hard (And What Actually Works)

November 19, 2025
Hiring in tech is tough across the board, b ut in Sydney and Melbourne , it's on another level. You write a solid job ad, speak to a few promising candidates, then suddenly the trail goes cold. Or worse, a top candidate disappears just before signing. This isn’t just bad luck. There are real reasons why tech recruitment in Australia’s leading cities is so challenging right now. But the good news is that companies are finding smarter ways to hire. Here's a look at what's really going on and what actually works. 1. The Demand Has Outpaced Supply It’s no secret that the Australian tech market has exploded in recent years. From startups to scale-ups to enterprise transformation projects, everyone is competing for the same core talent pool. Roles in software development, DevOps, cloud engineering, data science, and cybersecurity are in especially high demand. The problem? There aren’t enough experienced professionals to meet that demand, particularly at the senior level. And when good people are available, they don’t stay on the market long. 2. Candidates Are In Control In today's market, skilled tech professionals are weighing up their options more carefully than ever. Many are already employed, approached regularly, and cautious about where they move next. They’re looking for more than just a job title. They want clarity on salary, flexible working conditions, and interesting problems to solve. If a role feels vague or the hiring process drags on, they’ll move on quickly. The Sydney and Melbourne talent pool is savvy. They know what they want, and they won’t settle. 3. Standard Hiring Tactics Are Falling Flat Posting on job boards and waiting for applications might work in other sectors. In tech, it's rarely enough. The best candidates are often passive. They're not browsing job ads. They're open to opportunities but need a compelling reason to talk. On top of that, too many companies still rely on outdated hiring processes. If you're asking candidates to jump through five interview stages, complete lengthy coding tests, and wait weeks for updates, you're probably losing people. What Actually Works in 2025 Write Focused, Honest Job Ads Be clear about what the role actually involves. List the stack. Say what success looks like. Ditch the 20-bullet wishlist and focus on outcomes. Move Quickly The hiring process needs to be efficient. Three stages or fewer, minimal delays, and timely feedback. Anything longer opens the door for competing offers. Be Transparent About Pay If you’re not upfront about salary, your competitors will be. Candidates in Sydney and Melbourne are prioritising financial clarity early in the process. Invest in Direct Sourcing Don’t wait for applicants. The best hires often come through direct outreach, referrals, and targeted networking. Make Your Pitch Count You’re not just assessing a candidate. You’re also being assessed. Explain why your project matters, who they’ll work with, and what makes the culture worth joining. Conclusion Hiring tech talent in Sydney and Melbourne isn’t easy, but it’s far from impossible. The market has shifted, and companies that adapt are filling roles faster and more effectively. If your current approach isn’t delivering results, it’s probably time to rethink how you attract and engage the right people.  Need a more effective way to hire for key tech roles?

Hiring Engineers? Why Speed Is Still Your Biggest Advantage

November 10, 2025
Hiring in tech is quieter than it was two years ago, but the best candidates still move quickly. If you are not making decisions within two weeks, you're likely losing out. We talk to hiring managers across Sydney and Melbourne. Most of them are losing engineers, not because of salary, but because they waited too long. The Best Candidates Have Options Developers, DevOps engineers, and data professionals often get multiple offers. If your process drags, they’ll take the offer that moves first, even if yours is better on paper. A slow “maybe” is worse than a fast “no.” Long Processes Don’t Equal Better Hires More steps don’t mean better outcomes. They mean delays, confusion, and candidate fatigue. If your team needs four rounds to agree, the right person is already gone. SustainRecruit Helps You Move Faster We work with hiring teams to: Streamline interview processes Align decision-makers before the role goes live Keep candidates engaged at every stage You don’t need to rush. You just need to stop dragging your feet. Want to Avoid Losing Candidates to Faster Offers? 📩 Connect with us at hello@sustainrecruit.com and find out how we help tech teams in Sydney and Melbourne hire fast without lowering the bar.

What Makes a Marketing Portfolio Stand Out

November 3, 2025
In a competitive job market, your CV gets you seen. But your portfolio gets you shortlisted . Whether you're a digital marketer, brand strategist, or content lead, employers in Sydney and Melbourne increasingly expect to see proof of your work, especially for mid to senior roles. At SustainRecruit , we review hundreds of portfolios every month. Here's what makes the best ones rise to the top in 2026. 1. Curated, Not Crowded Your p ortfolio should be selective, not exhaustive. Hiring managers don’t want to scroll through every project you’ve ever worked on. They want a clear, confident story about your impact. What to include: 3 to 5 standout campaigns A mix of strategy and execution Results (not just visuals) Work that reflects the kind of role you want next Always frame the project: What was the objective? What was your role? What was the result? 2. Commercial Outcomes, Not Just Creative Great portfolios go beyond visuals and slogans. They connect the dots between creative output and business value. Instead of just saying "Led paid social campaign for product launch," say: "Led paid social campaign for new product launch, achieving a 6.2x ROAS and a 23% increase in trial signups within the first 30 days." Marketers are hired to drive results. Make yours measurable. 3. Easy to Navigate A recruiter or hiring manager should be able to skim and scan your portfolio in less than five minutes—and know exactly who you are as a marketer. Quick tips: Use headings and short descriptions Host it online (PDFs still work, but web portfolios are easier to share) Include your name and contact details on every page Optimise for mobile—many first views happen on phones 4. Explain Your Role Clearly If your work was part of a team, clarify what you owned. Overselling or being vague can hurt your credibility. Be transparent: Did you lead the strategy? Were you responsible for execution or concept only? Did you manage agencies or budgets? Showing where you collaborated, and where you led, helps hiring managers assess fit for senior roles. 5. Include Work That Matches the Job You Want Your portfolio is also a positioning tool. If you want to m ove into a Head of Marketing or Strategy Lead role, don’t focus only on tactical execution. Highlight strategic thinking, cross-functional work, and leade rship. Even if you’ve done great work in performance or social media, tailor what you showcase to the type of role you're applying for. Make it easy for the employer to see you in that role. 6. Optional, but Impressive: A Case Study Want to go the extra mile? Inclu de one deeper dive case study. A simple one-page breakdown can include: The business challenge Your approach Tools and tactics Outcome and metrics What you learned Hiring managers love candidates who can reflect on their own work. What to Avoid Over-designed, hard-to-read layouts Jargon without explanation (e.g., "full-funnel content matrix") Projects that are too old or irrelevant Portfolio files over 20MB (they rarely open properly) And don’t forget to check the links. A broken portfolio link is often the end of the road. Your portfolio is more than a showcase; it’s a signal. It tells hiring managers what kind of marketer you are, how you think, and where you’re headed. If you get it right, it won't just help you stand out. It will help you land.
