Work For Xpand
A little more about Xpand
Xpand is a specialist recruitment firm with offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Singapore. We’re a pretty relaxed bunch, but that can be a little misleading in that we have a high performance culture and we're fiercly passionate about delivering exceptional service.
Where we're going
We've no desire to be the biggest, but within Asia Pacific we want to be known as the best. This means we're not looking for huge growth, we're looking for strong organic growth geographically where it makes sense for our existing business.
Candidate First Model
Xpand is a little different in that we have a 'Candidate First' approach to business. While access to information through tools like Linkedin is great, we feel strongly that being on first name basis with top talent is much more powerful than a social media connection with someone you’ve never spoken with. This means that we focus on developing very deep pools of talent within tightly defined niche communities and providing strong value to those communities (information sharing, career advice, networking events, mentoring opportunities with senior members of the community and more). While this focus narrows the areas within which we can service customers, it has a huge impact on both our speed of response and quality of candidates.
Why we're different
We look a little different from most agencies (step into our offices and you’ll quickly see why) but our work environment is only part of the story. If we were to boil it down to one thing, it would be culture. We hire real, down to earth people who are passionate about what they do. We treat them like the responsible adults they are and give them the freedom to manage themselves. Right now we're looking at taking all of this one step further and are working towards a Results Only Work Environment (ROWE) - here's a recent article.
Types of roles
We’re always open to talking to experienced consultants. We split contract and permanent and usually have open requirements in both teams. We’re also keen to talk to experienced recruiters who only want to work part-time from home (e.g. new mums, minimum 3 days per week). We have a Candidate Management function which usually suits part-timers. We are also interested to speak to people new to recruitment.
What we’re looking for
We’re primarily after two things, the right attitude and the right cultural fit. If you’re a team player, passionate, goal orientated, professional and find it easy to develop very strong, long-term relationships with your customers, then we’d like to talk to you. We do value existing IT or Media recruitment experience as well as strong sales skills - recruitment is most definitely a sales job.
