Whizdom Pty Ltd

Established in Canberra in 2005, Whizdom is a specialist recruitment firm providing contractors to government and private clients. They like to think they are a little different than their competitors, really caring about their contractors and clients and trying their best to make sure everybody is happy with the whole process and the outcome every time.

• • They have various search methods to seek the best candidates, advertising on major job boards, accessing their database and referrals, promotion on social media and specialist recruitment methods and campaigns.
• • They not only recruit for current roles, but concentrate on building groups of passive candidates who may not be immediately ready for a new role but early engagement will make sure they have access to this candidate at a later date.
• • They work hard to seek new opportunities and panel arrangements. This expands their network and assists candidates in accessing roles they may not have had access to before.
• • They value the relationship with their clients and work to build valuable partnerships. They provide a specialist account manager to handle the end to end recruitment process for each client.
• • Whizdom is 100% Australian owned and operates wholly within Australia under Australian law. All data is stored within Australia, the majority in Canberra and Sydney, and is governed by Australian law. They are also fully licensed as an ACT Recruitment company.
• • Through referrals, past contracts and over 9 years’ experience in the Canberra market, they have access to many cleared resources and understand the challenges with placing these candidates.
• • They reward their contractors with great rates, fast payments and a personalized, friendly service. As they are a SME our contractors know all their staff and they hold many networking events where they all have a chance to connect in a casual setting.
• • Whizdom were proud to be included in the BRW Top 100 Fast Starters for 2009 and 2010 and their consultants have won recruiter of the year awards in both 2011 and 2013 recognised by their industry body the IT Recruitment Association.

Whizdom runs a different business model to their competitors adopting a virtual office and utilising the latest advances in cloud computing. This model complements their business objective of being mobile to meet with their customers and clients at any location. This structure allows them to be very competitive at half that of the industry average without compromising on service.
