The world of recruitment has changed. The barriers to entry have vanished. What was once the exclusive domain of agencies with proprietary databases is now open to everyone.
With a few clicks and a subscription to the right tools, anyone can access the same online profiles. AI can write job descriptions, filter resumes, and even run first-round interviews.
But this has created a new, more dangerous problem: a cycle of automation talking to automation. AI-written resumes applying to AI-written job posts, screened by AI bots. Everyone’s communicating through their AI champion of choice. What could possibly go wrong?
The answer is a disastrous flood of costly hiring mistakes, waiting to happen as soon as the open market picks up.
With AI ghostwriting the job market, separating genuine achievement from machine-made simulation has never been tougher. And with 28% of jobseekers admitting to using AI’s “poetic licence,” people are crying out for someone to just tell them the truth!
We trust our intuition, back our experience, and call out BS to uncover what’s actually real.
We present professionals who carry the Saltworth rosette of approval. You’ll meet them well before the rest of the market even knows they’re looking. Our local networks are stronger than ever, full of people we’ve known for years. Good people know good people and that will never change. But a strong network is only the beginning…
One subtle cue can mean the difference between a hire that sticks and one that fails within 12 months. It’s hearing the slightest hesitation in the tone of a candidate’s voice when they say ‘yes’ and knowing, with certainty, it isn’t really a full acceptance. It’s sensing when a prime candidate needs support to get through a challenging interview process or recognising the early signs of a counteroffer when they’re terrified to resign.
Decisions make and break careers and businesses, and must balance the best interests of all involved. A well-informed alignment creates lasting success and remains an enduring factor behind our 5-year, 85% retention record.
We offer our 2-year placement guarantee with confidence.
Recruitment should bring people together, not bury them in a data-driven doom loop. While bots screen fabricated resumes, we’re having real conversations that uncover the truth and build genuine commitment.
The meaning behind Saltworth says it best: people worth their salt, doing work worth paying for.
When you call us, you’ll speak to someone who understands your world and knows how to make things happen. Because sometimes, you just want to pick up the phone and talk to a proper person who knows what they’re doing.
John is a very smart guy who knows the technology market well. He has a real eye for high-quality talent and knows how to find them and stay in touch with them. Plus he is really easy to talk to and takes the time to understand people.
Unlike many other recruiters, John actually knows what he's talking about and you can rely on his recommendations. I recommend John as a client and candidate. You can't do better.
 
 I have known John for many years and have received work through his agency. As far as recruiters go, John is a straight talker and what he promises, he will deliver. Your organisation will be in good hands for your recruitment needs if you decide to put your trust into John's hands.
 
 I had the pleasure of working with Sarah-Jane Stratford during my job search, and her support was invaluable in helping me secure a position.
Sarah-Jane is a highly professional and dedicated recruiter who genuinely cares about her candidates. She took the time to understand my skills, experience, and career goals, and her insights were instrumental in guiding me through the job application process.
 
 I have known John for several years and used his services to help with recruiting for a few different companies. He is a delight to work with: he is a recruiter who takes the time to understand your business needs and to ensure that the candidates he is putting forward are well suited to the role. He is a clear communicator, responsive and an all-round nice guy.
 
 I have been Saltworth's candidate on few engagements and John has been my key point of contact. John's negotiation and willingness to find answers/solutions and middle ground path to issues is exemplary. Always with a bright smile and a very enthusiastic demeanor - John is a mentor and a recruiter combined in one.
Highly recommend Saltworth for your next IT engagements.
 
 spoke with John Knight when I came to Australia. He asked me what I wanted to do, assessed my skill level and then promoted me (like a proper agent) to prospective employers. He is very easy to talk to and he gave me lot's of confidence during his briefing sessions prior to my interviews.
Thank you John for pressing on my behalf and landing me my first job in Australia! As a confidant and agent, I would highly recommend John. When deciding to make a switch, he'll be my first call before I do anything!
