Australia's automation headquarters
the concentration of international oem headquarters in sydney creates a talent market unlike any other in australia
global intralogistics and warehouse automation providers — including swisslog, daifuku, schäefer systems, toyota automated logistics (formerly vanderlande), kardex, dematic and beumer — either base or significantly resource their australian operations from sydney
this density of global players means the competition for experienced automation professionals is intense. hiring managers in sydney frequently compete with multiple employers for the same senior engineer or solution consultant. passive candidates — professionals not actively looking but open to the right conversation — make up the majority of the best talent. reaching them requires a recruiter with genuine relationships in the market, not a linkedIn keyword search

what sydney employers need from a recruiter
the most common failure point we hear from sydney automation employers is receiving high volumes of candidates who look right on paper but don't have the genuine sector experience the role requires
general engineering recruiters don't understand the difference between a systems integrator and an oem, or why a candidate's experience with one wms platform matters for a specific role and not another
liftpass doesn't make those mistakes because we only work in this sector. every candidate we present has been properly assessed against the role requirements and the cultural expectations of the business they're being introduced to
