Our story

Built for
digital.
By digitals.

We started 37Talent because we believed the market deserved a recruitment agency that actually understands the work, not just the job title.

How we got here

We recruit for the work we understand.

37Talent was founded in Sydney in 2021 with one idea: recruitment should be done by people who understand what they're recruiting for. Media and tech roles are not generic. A Senior Data Scientist at a fintech is a different hire to one at a media company. A DevOps role at a startup is nothing like one in enterprise.

Generalist agencies get this wrong constantly. They keyword-match CVs. They pitch on volume. They move on when it gets hard. We don't operate that way. We go deep on six disciplines, we build real networks, and we make introductions we'd stake our reputation on, because we do.

The result: faster shortlists, better fits, and the kind of client relationships that outlast a single placement.

"We built 37Talent because the digital market deserved something better. An agency run by people who've worked in the space, not just recruited for it. We know what good looks like."

How we operate

The things we
won't compromise on.

01

Honesty over comfort

We'll tell you when a brief won't attract the person you actually want. We'd rather have that conversation than waste four weeks of your time.

02

Depth over breadth

Six disciplines. All digital. We'll never be all things to all clients, and that's intentional. Narrow focus means better networks and sharper market knowledge.

03

Candidates are people

Every CV represents a person's career. We give direct feedback, we respect people's time, and we never ghost. The market is smaller than people think.

04

Speed without shortcuts

Fast doesn't mean sloppy. Our 48-hour response commitment holds because we maintain warm networks, not because we're skipping due diligence.

05

AI as a tool, not a crutch

We use AI to sharpen briefs, surface candidate data faster, and remove admin noise. The judgment call, the one that decides who to put in front of a client, stays human.

06

Long-term thinking

A placement that sticks is worth infinitely more than a fee that didn't. We measure success in 12-month retention, not just offer acceptance.
