Kairos Recruitment

Kairos Recruitment is a specialist recruitment firm founded by Megan Luttrell that partners with startups and hiring leaders to design and execute focused recruitment campaigns. The company distinguishes itself by moving beyond traditional database-driven recruitment, instead leveraging the Aussie Founders Club, a community of over 4,000 founders, operators, and startup professionals across Australia. Kairos brings clarity, structure, and judgement to hiring decisions at critical moments, including early hires, replacement roles, and positions that shape company culture and trajectory.

Kairos specialises in recruitment for the startup and technology ecosystem, working with growth-driven businesses and founders building innovative ventures. The company's approach extends beyond standard CV screening, incorporating psychometric profiling through Taly, behavioural interviews, and video assessments to evaluate how candidates think, communicate, and operate under pressure. This methodology ensures that hiring decisions are informed by genuine signal rather than historical credentials alone.

Operating across Australia with a particular focus on the startup community, Kairos serves founders and hiring leaders who require intentional team building and strategic recruitment support. The company's unique competitive advantage lies in its access to the Aussie Founders Club network, a genuine community of real relationships built over time rather than a transactional contact list. Clients choose Kairos for its combination of deep startup ecosystem knowledge, rigorous assessment methodology, and founder-led approach to recruitment that prioritises long-term team success and organisational momentum.
