Known

Known is a technology-focused recruitment company that specialises in helping Australian businesses build high-performing teams through tailored recruitment solutions. Founded by Elliott Bradley and Mary Wright, Known takes a strategic, relationship-driven approach to tech recruitment, leveraging an extensive network of trusted referrals and deep industry insights to connect startups and scale-ups with the right talent. Unlike typical recruitment agencies that rely on job boards and mass outreach, Known proactively sources candidates before they enter the job market, with 82 percent of all candidates hired coming from referrals within their network.

Known specialises exclusively in software engineering and development recruitment, focusing on connecting the top five percent of engineers with businesses driving innovation. The company understands that the best candidates are often passive talent who are not actively seeking new positions, so Known consistently builds a pool of experienced professionals ready to move quickly when clients have roles to fill. Their deep market knowledge means they can identify ideal candidates even when they do not have someone immediately available, knowing which companies to target to find the right fit.

Operating from their headquarters in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Known serves Australian businesses of all sizes through flexible engagement models tailored to each client's needs. Whether businesses require support on a critical one-off hire, contractor sourcing and payrolling, fixed monthly cost arrangements for multiple positions, or talent acquisition capability uplift, Known adapts its approach to fit their clients' goals and growth pace. Clients choose Known for their precision, pace, deep industry insight, and commitment to delivering outcomes that support both immediate hiring needs and long-term team growth.
