Frequently Asked Questions: Technology and AI Recruitment
How long does it take to fill a senior technology role in Australia?
This depends on the seniority and specialisation of the role. For mid-level permanent technology roles, a quality shortlist typically takes one to two weeks from brief. Senior leadership and architecture roles take longer because the active candidate pool is smaller and the right hire is rarely responding to job board advertising. The organisations that move fastest are the ones who brief a specialist recruiter before the role is formally approved, not after. Starting the talent conversation early is consistently the difference between a two-week shortlist and a three-month search.
Why is hiring technology talent in Australia so hard right now?
Talent shortages across cloud, cyber security, and AI engineering persist despite some easing in broader labour market indicators. Salary pressure and counteroffers are escalating, particularly at the senior end. AI adoption has created demand for new role types that did not exist in meaningful volume two years ago, and the candidate pool has not kept pace. Organisations that benchmark against 2024 salary data or rely on job board advertising for specialist roles are consistently missing the shortlist they need.
Do you recruit contract and permanent technology roles?
Yes. We recruit across permanent, contract, and executive search for technology roles across Australia.
What AI engineering roles do you recruit for in Australia?
We place AI Product Managers, AI Architects, AI Infrastructure Engineers, AI Knowledge Specialists, and Senior Software Engineers with AI specialisations. These roles sit within our Technology practice alongside software engineering, infrastructure, cyber security, and cloud. Demand for AI-specific technology roles has increased significantly as Australian organisations move from AI pilots into enterprise-scale deployment. If the specific role you need is not listed, speak to one of our consultants about your requirements.
What is the difference between an AI Engineer and an AI Architect?
An AI Engineer typically focuses on building, training, and deploying machine learning models and AI systems. An AI Architect operates at a higher level, designing the overall AI system architecture, determining how AI components integrate with existing technology infrastructure, and making decisions about model selection, data pipelines, and deployment frameworks. In practice, most enterprise AI programmes need both. The sequencing matters: architecture decisions made early prevent expensive rebuilds later.
Do you recruit cybersecurity leaders as well as technology generalists?
Yes. Cyber Security and Information Security is one of our core Technology practice specialisations. We recruit across cloud security, infrastructure security, security engineering, and executive cyber leadership. Demand for cybersecurity talent with genuine enterprise governance experience has increased as regulatory requirements tighten and AI adoption creates new risk surface areas that organisations need specialist capability to manage.
