đ How We Started
We were frustrated by recruitment agencies' inconsistent, slow, and - way too often - dishonest, overly expensive approach. Sending irrelevant profiles and hoping for the best. To all agencies out there: âNetworkâ isn't a differentiating factor anymore - start to innovate!!
Three years later, what sets us apart is:
- Speed through automation (shortlist of three within 7 days, end-to-end of 15 days)
- Recruiting through storytelling (our secret sauce)
- Delivering valuable CX and data-driven experiences (itâs about people and relationships)
Our teams in Australia, the US, the UK, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Thailand focus on startup recruitment, with our clients being market leaders in their area.
Head Office: Sydney
With people in: Sydney, Colombo, Bangkok, Johannesburg, New York, Phoenix, Dallas, London and Austin

Check out our glowing reviews âââââ
"Incredibly dedicated team willing to advocate for you!"
"Beware: Redbeard will get other traditional recruiters [to] run out of candidates"
"[To companies] You owe it to yourself to talk to RedBeard because you don't realise there's an entirely different approach out there" - Jane Oxley, CMO, Smokeball [Read more]
"RedBeard Talent saved us at least ÂŁ15,000 (USD$20.5k, AUD$28.5k) compared to traditional agencies. And that's a low estimate" - Archie Winesett, SVP Sales, Triptease [Read more]
Why this role? Why now?
We attract higher quality talent 50% faster through automation and storytelling vs traditional recruitment agencies, and we need more hands on deck.
Did you know:
- Robert Half's research has found that a whopping 62% of job seekers lose interest in a job if the hiring process is lengthy. That number rises to 77% if there is no status update within three weeks.
- 69% of the Employers report having difficulty filling a role and putting it down to Talent shortage (Source: TalentLyft).
- According to LinkedIn, only 30% of companies can fill a vacant role within 30 days. The other 70% of companies take anywhere between 1 - 4 months to process a new hire.

About Your Manager: Shweta
Hi! I am Shweta. Outside of work, my 6-month-old pup keeps me busy. I enjoy meeting and talking to people from different walks of life (probably why I enjoy my job as a Recruiter), working upon my self-growth with purpose, and invest in hobbies such as vocal training in music, cooking different cuisines, and mindfulness practices. I have recently moved close to the beaches and mountains, which has been a BIG change given I have always been a city girl! Giving back to the community and society at large is a HUGE driver. I am also inspired to be the change I want to see. Professionally, I have worked across industries such as Media, Retail, Travel, and Recruitment (entrepreneurship) and geographies including India and Australia. Disrupting the world of recruitment and helping candidates find their dream job makes me jump out of bed every day!
⨠RedBeardâs Top Highlights
đ International and Diverse Team Culture
We have a drive for progressive people-centric values and the ambition to change the game of recruitment.
đŞ Beginners Mindset
Weâre all about learning and improving daily. There is lots of room to try ideas, make mistakes and come back stronger.
⨠Well-Established Client Base
We have established relationships with clients in APAC, EU, and the US with positive cash flow and stable run rates. We only work with clients who have People and Recruitment values that align with ours or are willing to grow and do better.
Our Company Values:
Be the OG - Being original often means doing things differently; it always means taking pride in our own evolution of doing right by our candidates, clients and colleagues.
Get To The Heart of It - We donât scratch on the surface. We dive right in: getting to know a hiring manager or talent, we go after the key aspects of what will make them happy. As a team, we do the same in how we collaborate.
Stick with It - We stick with it. We see it through. Together, we always find a way.
Give First - Whether itâs our clients, candidates or internally: we come from a place without ego, and we always provide value to you first.
Always Go To School - In any interaction or situation, there is always something for us to learn: we seek out the learning in anything and actively take those lessons as input to how we can be better.
Walk Towards the Fire - If weâre facing a challenge, we step up, and we face it together. Our growth is rooted in a belief that opportunities appear on our path for a reason, and that is to step up.
Fill The Cup - Our work fills our cups, as opposed to draining them, so we spend our time ensuring our candidates are matched with roles that fill their cups, too, and clients find the hiring process energizing.
