ABOUT US

Signal vs. Noise

In an overabundant world of information and hype, Perpetuate aims to be the most trusted partner.

A focused approach

Our focus is on sourcing and developing strong relationships with high-level talent.

Our approach is to ONLY partner with high growth & high tech product led companies in two locations: locally in QLD & in the Silicon Valley.

We do things differently

Our method of engagement is quite contrarian to others.

We do not advertise.

Perpetuate strategically and proactively engages with individuals once we have gathered pre-high-conviction of their talent and capability levels.

We conduct extensive due-diligence on their engineering culture, plus, their capital/ investment pipeline.

We distill our client portfolio to a list of 8-10 of the most attractive, interesting and stimulating product-led software companies in our ecosystem.

If there was a Harry Potter in the talent world, it's Steve. He is an absolute wizard in understanding your business, who you are, and ultimately, what you need. The A-class candidates that he puts forward are next to none that I have ever seen before. It may seem like a waving of a wand to us, but I am sure it is down to some hard work, diligence, and smarts (this guy has it in droves). Steve sticks with you the whole way through the candidates' journey, being transparent and communicating often and frequently. I can't recommend him enough.

I've worked with Stephen both as a candidate looking for a position and when expanding my teams and in both scenarios Stephen proved to be extremely in touch with the state of the industry and very honest in his dealings. He has a great sense of the level of candidates and their potential fit and as a result I've had only compelling candidates referred to me that all brought real skills to the table. Even when the market has been sparing Stephen has managed to find candidates that match our requirements. He is one of the few recruiters in the software industry who I will immediately recommend to both job seekers and employers.

Perpetuate is simply unique by value proposition and has a different style/approach to talent world and their business model is quite innovative. Perpetuate distinguishes itself from others being genuinely good in scoping needs and have specialised knowledge in the sector. The trade in of human capital is just perfectly-matched. Stephen truly understands the mission and the vision.
