š 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: āNetworkā 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 (itās 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

We attract higher quality talent, 50% faster through automation and storytelling vs traditional recruitment agencies and we need more hands-on deck.

About Your Manager: Shweta Krishnan (Co-Founder)
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!
Meet Nick, Talent Advisor
Having attended 13 schools across 3 continents before University; interpersonal skills and relationship building have become second nature to me as a person. Probably why I enjoy talking so much, I just canāt help it! Of course, this was adapted during my time at Walt Disney World where I recognised my passion for high-end service with a smile and knowing that anything is possible. RedBeard has been a great place to spread my wings and explore my interests. Never before have I been able to use all of my professional experience in one place, which probably speaks to no day being the same š My ideas are encouraged and the team has my back! RedBeard is more than recruitment, it is a real opportunity to have a hand in developing a business from the ground up and hopefully have some fun along the way.
Meet Kaumini, Talent Scout
My journey at RedBeard Talent started as a talent scout with the team and Iāve been able to grow as a Team Lead just after 9 months. This is the type of growth opportunity you will be presented with when you show hard work, dedication and resilience RBT. My favourite thing about working here other than the amazing team is that I resonate well with one of our core values, which is - āAlways go to schoolā - weāre constantly learning and growing and youāre never not stuck doing the same thing. Outside of work: I am obsessed with my new puppy Ash, a massive fan of The Office (US) and Formula 1. Oh - and I get along with anyone that is into Hip Hop/RnB and occasionally Taylor Swift š Why You Should Consider Working For RBT: The people. The approach (not your old-school recruitment agency). Some awesome startups are our clients š¤©
