We carefully match each candidate with your company and culture. Plus, if they don’t work out within the first 24 months, we’ll replace them at no cost.

No problem! Our pay-as-you-grow plan lets you spread the cost over 12 months, making it easier on your budget.

We connect with tech professionals who are already thinking about their next move, so you get access to them before they apply elsewhere.

PAYG is a game-changer for your recruitment budget. Instead of a large upfront fee, you make manageable monthly installments over 12 months. This makes top-tier talent accessible and eases budgeting, especially for smaller companies or those watching their cash flow.

At Saltworth, “Sticky Tech People” refers to highly skilled tech professionals who not only excel in their roles but are also a great cultural fit, leading to higher retention rates. We prioritize placing these "keepers" because we understand that high employee turnover is both disruptive and costly for businesses. By fostering deep relationships, we gain insights into the motivations, aspirations, and cultural preferences of both clients and candidates. This understanding enables us to make more informed recommendations, leading to successful, long-term placements of "sticky tech people."

We back our process with an unprecedented, industry-leading 2-Year Free Replacement Guarantee for permanent placements. If a placement doesn’t work out within two years, we’ll find a replacement at no extra cost. Our confidence in making the right decisions, from start to finish, means you can trust us to deliver lasting success.

At Saltworth, relationships are everything and they run deep. Our business thrives on the long-standing connections we've developed over the years. We operate outside the confines of job boards, relying on our vast local networks that has matured through time, trust, and continuous engagement. We’re always talking, whether it’s through referrals or just staying connected… we’re never too far from someone who knows someone. Typically we get to know first when exceptional people are at the “thinking stage” of considering new opportunities. This gives you access to a hidden pool of amazing candidates who are ready for long-term roles and excited to make a real impact.

We have a proven track record of success. For example, our partners Seeing Machines revitalised key projects using high performance AI engineers through our approach. We saved the University of Melbourne heaps in consultancy costs and we also supported vNext's exponential startup growth, providing Data Engineers and Developers across Australia until their successful acquisition. Our client testimonials highlight our dedication to delivering exceptional results and building lasting partnerships.
