Who are we?
Talent Focus is proud to be one of the most prominent recruitment agencies on the Eastern Seaboard of Australia - Operating out of North-West Sydney. Our History Founded in 1997, Talent Focus (known as Technical Focus then), was established as a niche, boutique provider of recruitment solutions for FMCG, Engineering, Operations and Technical supply chains. Our business has experienced substantial growth since its inauguration 20 years ago and we have continued to build on those foundations and now our knowledge, networks and expertise have swept all areas including Medical devices, Consumer Products, Food, Pharmaceuticals and more. We recently added a brand new specialist division : Business Support and Accounting, while also providing in-house psychometric testing. Our Focus Our strength in crafting the best recruitment solutions lies in our market position. Wholly owned by our senior consultants, we have a vested interest in getting it right, every time.
Why Choose Us?
We are not a city agency, we are not a party club (although we have a lot of fun!) We don’t want to be that. We do things differently and the way we do business reflects the relaxed but professional nature of our directors. We want you to be happy and enjoy your life here, arrive at work relaxed, reach your goals and then go home before dark, knowing you’ve done well and that you’re respected and valued. We care about our employees and their wellbeing, that is why we'd like to think here at Talent Focus, we are all part of the family.
Incentives and Commission
So what's in it for you I hear you ask? The commission at Talent Focus is the best I have seen in the industry, it’s very achievable and uncapped. There is no reason why everyone can’t make their commission on a quarterly basis. We recognize top performers and celebrate wins. So what exactly is the formula? Base salary + 25% Oncost = total x 2, then any sales after that we will pay 30% in the $. This model is better than the standard as this is generally 3 x salary The commission is paid quarterly and restarts each quarter, it does not go into deficit. Example:- Salary is $80,000 Base per annum x 2 = $160,000 = $40,000 per quarter + 25% ON cost = $50,000 Let’s say there was $80,000 in sales for the quarter. $80,000 - $50,000 = $30,000 x 30% = $9,000 in commission paid for the quarter. This is a very conservative number.
Culture
The culture at Talent Focus is something we work hard on. We want to have an environment that people love coming to work in and flourish. We care about the welfare of our staff and have given gym memberships as well as Yoga sessions as a group. We provide fruit for the staff and encourage health and well-being, both physically and mentally. The door of management is always open and one on one sessions are done weekly. We also love to continue to teach and coach our staff as we also continue to grow and learn. We keep abreast of all open, working roles, as we catch up and go through these jobs regularly. We have Cultivation meetings where we learn and are challenged further, this is also an environment of team bonding. We have high expectations of our staff to do their best and treat everyone they meet with respect.
