The Talent Playbook

The Talent Playbook is a recruitment business founded in Brisbane in 2018. It says it does not offer niche recruitment and instead takes a bespoke, project management approach to each recruitment campaign, giving hiring managers tools and training.

Its services are bespoke recruitment, HR support and recruitment process outsourcing. The recruitment service combines market mapping with headhunting of passive candidates, and the company says its recruiters each have over 10 years of experience. HR support covers performance management, policy development, HR technology implementation and employee relations. Under its RPO model, a dedicated recruiter is embedded in the client's business to manage the recruitment lifecycle for a fixed retained fee.

The company reports a 98% retention rate and offers a 6-month guarantee on hires. It was co-founded by Elle, the General Manager, and Hadi Ashnaei, the Client Solutions Director.
