About

I've spent nearly three decades inside Australia's IT recruitment industry, long enough to see who the system works for, and who it quietly leaves behind. The people who helped build Australia's IT industry are now 45+, overlooked by traditional hiring, but more capable than ever. If you're one of them, or if you're a business who needs them, you're in the right place. Talentology is a community, not a recruitment agency. Not a job board. Not a CV database. I built it because I got tired of watching good people become invisible through no fault of their own. So Talentology exists to make sure that doesn't happen, through coaching, representation, community and direct access for the businesses who need this talent. Here's how it works. CareerAGILITY, for job seekers who've stopped being seen. Your experience hasn't disappeared, your visibility has. We rebuild it. The Hustle Game, the world's first gamified approach to job seeking, as far as I know. Activity and visibility, played as a team, instead of competing anonymously with 500+ people for the same role. CareerAGENT, representation for contractors and IT SME leaders. Visible, commercial and in demand between gigs, scaling from solo contractor to growing business. We don't recruit. We represent. CareerGUARD, built on something I believe deeply. The best time to look for your next role is while you're still in your current one. Which is exactly when nobody does it. The Talentology community, including the Job Seeker Cafe, exists because job seeking is lonely. One day you're employed, the next you're not, and the silence makes you doubt yourself. You're not the only one feeling this. Fractional+45, the direct line for businesses and recruiters. Trusted +45 professionals, already vetted through this community, introduced within 48 hours. You engage them directly. Here's the twist. Our professionals pay us for representation, advocacy and guidance. You don't pay us anything. Free access to vetted talent, like a sports agent model, but for tech. If you reckon careers, and businesses, deserve better than algorithms and broken systems, let's connect.

Experience

  • Founder, Managing Director & Chief Talentologist at Talentology AU
    Mar 2017 - Present · 9 yrs 4 mos

    I didn't start Talentology to become another recruiter. Far from it. Nearly three decades in IT recruitment, including 5 years leading national accounts with year-on-year growth. I've seen how the system works from the inside. And I kept seeing the same thing. Experienced professionals, especially over 45, becoming invisible. Filtered by algorithms. Ghosted. Dismissed because of age, not ability. I couldn't be part of that anymore. So I built something different. Not a recruiter. Not a middleman. A community built on representation, visibility and direct access, for the overlooked, and the businesses who need them. People who've worked with me describe it simply. Someone in your corner. Not just keywords in a CV. No BS. Here's what we do. CareerAGILITY rebuilds visibility, confidence and momentum for +45 job seekers, so opportunities start finding them again. The Hustle Game, the world's first gamified approach to job seeking, as far as I know. Structure, accountability and team-based momentum, instead of anonymous applications into a black hole. CareerAGENT represents +45 contractors and IT SMEs, keeping them visible and commercial between gigs, scaling from solo contractor to embedded sales leadership. CareerGUARD keeps experienced professionals visible and ready before uncertainty appears, because the best time to look for what's next is while you're still employed. Fractional+45 connects organisations directly with trusted +45 professionals, vetted through our community, for fractional, contract or project work. No fees, no middlemen. Eight years in, hundreds helped, and a community that genuinely has each other's backs. People tell us the same thing. They're not the only one feeling this. They never were. We don't post job ads. We don't ghost people. We don't hide behind broken systems or AI shortcuts. We advocate for humans.
