<\/p>\r\nAustralia’s most established Data, Analytics & AI recruiters<\/h2>\r\n
With over 20 years of experience<\/strong>, we’ve helped 200+ organisations<\/strong> build high-performing data teams, placing more than 3,000 professionals<\/strong> across governance, platforms, analytics, and AI.<\/p>\r\n Unlike generalist recruiters, our consultants focus on specific stages of the data journey. That means faster, sharper shortlists<\/strong> and better long-term fit<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n Case in point:<\/em><\/strong> For a Federal Government department, we appointed a Director of Data Platforms and built a full delivery team, 3 Data Architects, 3 Data Modellers, and 8 Engineers, to accelerate a large-scale data modernisation program.<\/p>\r\n From governance frameworks to AI in production, we support every phase of your data roadmap with dedicated specialists who only recruit in their domain, whether that’s governance, engineering or analytics.<\/p>\r\n Example:<\/strong> <\/em>At a mining company, we placed the Head of Data to build their first data strategy and platform. Within 12 months, they delivered a cloud-native architecture, governance frameworks, and a centralised BI capability.<\/p>\r\n We combine deep relationships with advanced sourcing tech to uncover the right talent, often the people others can’t find.<\/p>\r\n Over 50% of our placements come from referral networks, talent you won’t find on job boards or LinkedIn.<\/p>\r\n We’ve built deep talent pools across the data lifecycle, so you get the right shortlist quickly, without sacrificing quality.<\/p>\r\n Example:<\/em><\/strong> For an ASX-listed retailer, we built a full analytics function, Head of Analytics, 3 Senior Managers, and 8 Analysts\/Data Scientists, to support a new loyalty program and digital uplift. All hires were retained for 2+ years, with most promoted.<\/p>\r\n Client<\/p>\r\n The process was smooth and Marie Thow understood our tricky brief and delivered 4 candidates to us who would all have been acceptable. We were spoiled for choice in this very difficult candidate market.<\/p>\r\n Lynette<\/p>\r\n General Manager HR, Media<\/p>\r\n Candidate<\/p>\r\n I worked with Marie on a couple of different occasions, both as a candidate and as a hiring manager. Marie understands the Data Science market really well and knows what a hiring manager looks for in the candidates. As a hiring manager, I can confidently say that the candidates put forward by Marie were good fit for the roles. It was a pleasure working with Marie. I highly recommend Marie to other managers hiring for Data Science roles.<\/p>\r\n Kranthi<\/p>\r\n Data Science Principal<\/p>\r\n Client<\/p>\r\n Kausty is excellent to work with and delivers great results, I know when Kausty is working on a role it will have a great outcome for the hiring manager.<\/p>\r\n Adam<\/p>\r\n Talent Acquisition Specialist- Australian Bank<\/p>\r\n Candidate<\/p>\r\n I recently had a fantastic experience working with Bluefin, a standout recruitment agency. Kausty, one of their star recruiters, went above and beyond to ensure I was matched with the right job. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and provided exceptional customer service. Overall, I highly recommend Bluefin and give them five stars for their dedication to their clients\u2019 success. \u2014<\/p>\r\n Warun<\/p>\r\n Senior Analyst – Banking<\/p>\r\n Candidate<\/p>\r\n I had a great experience with Bluefin recruiter, Jonathan Chin. He is exceptional at his job and helped me land a job that\u2019s a perfect fit for me. He made the entire process very smooth and transparent. I was always kept in the loop with regular updates. He made sure all my queries about the role were answered before I made the final decision. Followed up even after I started.
