Welcome to Edge Delivery
About Edge
We are a Sydney based talent search and consulting firm, focussed on large, complex IT project delivery.
Since 2012, Edge Delivery has been quietly forging a reputation as a unique, trusted and experienced provider of high quality talent.
Our mission is to de-risk and accelerate complex technology projects.
We do this through a tailored blend of talent search and consulting services, ensuring teams are set up for success.
Problems we solve
- Failure in complex IT project delivery
- Inability to secure the right people at the right time
- Unique and hard to fill roles
- Poor recruitment experience for hiring managers and candidates
Traditional IT recruitment - it's not working
We know that having the right people on the team is critical to project success. This includes domain experience, technical capability, soft skills and cultural fit.
Edge Delivery was built from frustrations working with typical agency recruitment firms:
- Agency recruiters who have never worked in complex project environments, so don’t understand the anatomy of a project, methodology variants, the complex interactions between roles or the challenge of managing difficult stakeholders.
- Candidates that are only sourced from the ‘active market’. Ie, advertising roles instead of true headhunting for highest quality, off-market talent.
- Candidate matching based only on a few key words in the Job Description, often neglecting soft skills and cultural fit.
- Recruitment agencies that reward the wrong performance metrics. Speed and price, instead of quality.
- Poor experience for candidates, lacking any valuable career guidance or interview feedback.
How well are your current recruiters performing?
Edge Talent Search. It's recruitment, but not as you know it
- We work with a very small number of carefully selected clients.
- We quickly and deeply understand complex projects, delivery environments and the nuances of each role.
- We can help with project structure, methodology and role definition.
- We work with urgency to provide unique, proven, off-market candidates (many are people we have worked with directly).
- We approach candidates directly and discretely.
- We provide regular aftercare, supporting our contractors with regular mentoring and coaching.
- We provide permanent and contract roles.
What we don't do
- We don't operate on supplier panels.
- We don't advertise roles.
- We don't charge exorbitant margins, but keep costs low to ensure best value for both client and candidate.
Core industries we work with
Banking (Consumer, Business and Institutional), General Insurance, Specialist Insurance, Credit Risk, Cards & Payments, New Payments Platform, Property Services, Trading Platforms, Superannuation, Telecommunications and Retail.
Core roles we understand well
Project/Program Managers, Program Directors, Coaches, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Business Analysts, Change Managers and Senior IT Leaders. We also cover C-Suite roles in technical and non-technical functions.
Consulting for project success
- Optimising the structure, tools and techniques for large or complex projects
- Establishing persistent teams
- Agile adoption strategy
- Distributed teams and remote working techniques
- PMO & governance
- Project assurance
- Agile maturity assessments
- Leadership coaching, career coaching and mentoring
