Australia's corporate landscape is poised for growth and innovation. However, the driving force behind a successful company isn’t the products or services — it’s the people. In this dynamic environment, recruiting the right corporate talent can be the difference between mediocrity and excellence.
Recent data showcases that diverse executive teams are 21% more likely to outperform their counterparts. Yet, Australian boardrooms still see under 30% female representation, pointing to a clear talent opportunity.
A remarkable 31% of the candidates we placed in roles in the last five years have been female, despite only 9% representation in some sectors. Furthermore, 97% of the shortlists we provided clients included at least one gender-diverse candidate.
A 2023 KMPG study revealed that nearly 60% of Australian companies believe they lack the leadership capabilities to achieve their strategic goals.
With Australia ranking 19th on the Global Competitiveness Index in 2023, attracting and retaining the right corporate talent is pivotal when competing on the world stage.
