Work at Crew

Crew started in 2018 when Simon wondered if there might be a market for a different type of recruitment business. He didn’t realise it at the time but that was where the Micro RPO part of the business began.

From starting as an idea to now being regarded as one of Australia’s leading Talent Acquisition companies in just a few short years has been thrilling and terrifying but we’re just getting started.

We’re a diversity-led business that values the differences in us all and believes that diverse teams deliver the best results whilst creating opportunities for everyone.

Our team

Our Values

Start with Kindness

Every human interaction starts somewhere. We think this is the best place.

Fair

Treat people how you want to be treated, and be fair to everyone.

Open

Open communication, no B/S. Open to ideas and conversations.

Results

Clients engage us to achieve outcomes, that’s what we focus on.

Career Paths

Your future workmates have several common traits, one of which is the desire to learn and grow.

At Crew, we believe in transparency. After all, it’s what we talk to our clients about.

So we’ve made our roles, structure, pay levels, and skills publicly available. Take a look and ask questions if you need more info.

Benefits

We’re small enough that we can do things the way we want and how we want. So. Enjoy the little thought-out perks! 😇

But.. We’re not big enough to give you just anything and everything (we’re trying to though and we know we one day will!)

So if you see, or don’t see, something in here – Talk to us. We will make it work.

Annual leave ✈️

Every Crew member has 4 weeks of annual leave per year.
This equates to 20 days which is aligned with the local standards.
We’d want and expect you to use this within 12 months.
Leaves are granted to you on a pro-rata basis assuming you haven’t been with us for the whole year.
We want to be fair to all our Crew members, so if you can, please (WE BEG YOU!) put your leaves in as early as possible to avoid any disappointments. You’ll be set up in Xero and can book leave directly there.

Sick leave 🤧

The standard is 10 working days, we hope you don’t have to take more 🤒 if you do – they will roll into your AL days first before going into unpaid

Parental leave 🍼

We’re not in a position to give you more than what’s legislated by the government (YET!) for now. So what’s required by law will be what you will receive.

Pawrental leave 🐾

No kids? No pawblem 🐶 🐱 we allocate 1 day each year for vet visits, grooming appointments, pet-related errands and emergencies. Take 2 half days or 1 full day, we leave this to you!

Flexible Public Holiday 🎉

We want to promote D&I in Crew. So we’re giving up 2 Aus holidays for you to have the flexibility to choose your own Public Holiday to match your home country or culture
- These days are the Melbourne Cup and
- Grand Final Day
E.g.: You can swap Melbourne Cup Day for Diwali, Chinese New Year, Eid, etc.
Keep these days if you prefer, swap them for another if you want!

Single Parent Leave 🥇

We understand parenting alone can be tough at times. We’ve provided an extra 1 day for our single parents to allocate for 1st day of school, parent teachers’ meetings, anything you’d like. Again, take 2 half days or 1 full day

What people say about us

Simon has a refined approach to recruitment that makes him a pleasure to work with. His genuine, light-hearted and honest demeanour is treasured by job seekers.

Crew helped us define our hiring process, our sourcing plan and assisted in interviews and debriefs. We could have used a traditional agency, but I would still have had to maintain a close hand in the process for every hire.

Crew is essentially an extension of the HR team, they've worked really well with the HR team and the business to understand what we need.

Their service has been also been highly cost-effective and they have become an extension of our HR function, that is there when we need it.

I was very impressed by the level of care and attention to detail he displayed and would definitely recommend Simon and Crew Talent Advisory to anyone.

Should the opportunity come to work with Simon and the Crew team again, I won't hesitate, they are easy to collaborate with, proactive in their approach and, for the service they provide, highly competitive too.

Crew has added significant value to our business here in Australia. What were we looking for in a partner was someone that could find the very best talent in the Melbourne market.

As a hiring manager, Simon was able to effortlessly get up to speed on what we were looking for in a candidate, and then utilize his extensive experience to advise on best practice techniques to find the right people, faster.

We’ve managed to hire some amazing people and I was able to focus on our other challenges knowing recruitment was in safe hands. My hiring managers are also really pleased because they’ve got the outcome they wanted aswell

What does our team say about working here?

It all starts from respect and acknowledgment. Crew Talent Advisory helped me understand the true essence of professionalism.

In Crew, we focus on the things we can control. We don't just work on tasks needed to be done but also look for ways to do them efficiently. Our thirst for learning and being competitive drives the team to more success.

The Crew is very supportive in every way. Having Simon as a Leader gives me this sense of relief that he will understand all of my struggles because he's been on the ground collaborating with us. Being part of an empathetic environment always brings the best version of me.

I love helping people get jobs and it's easy to get excited about the work at Crew. Everyone is 100% committed to the mission. Everyone agrees on how to get there and everyone is moving toward the same aspirations.

When l talk about Crew to my family, l think of everyone as a second family. Our team is so fun and our days together are full of excitement.

When l was thinking about leaving my previous career l had a long hard think about a time in my job when l was happy and that was when l answered a phone call and accepted my offer.

l decided then and there if l could make every person as happy as l was then my days would be filled with joy. Crew has given me the best start to recruitment l could possibly want and to be honest l can’t think of anywhere else l would rather be.

I talk so highly of my job because l love waking up every day and enjoying what l do.

I have learnt so much from what a tech stack is, to how to use LinkedIn recruiter and the importance of just having a conversation. and at the end of the day we are in the people business.
