Matt Woodard is a Talent Acquisition leader with 20 years of experience working across Australia and New Zealand. He partners with founders and leadership teams at scaling businesses – typically 30 to 150 people – to help them hire critical roles and build the internal capability to keep hiring well as they grow.
His work is hands-on and practical. Not advice from the sidelines.
Matt is the founder of scalr (scalr.com.au), a TA advisory built for post-Seed to Series C businesses. scalr works with founders and ops leaders who are scaling quickly but don’t yet have the internal hiring capability to match their ambitions.
Engagements typically cover one or more of:
- Embedded hiring – hands-on delivery of priority roles while lifting internal process and decision-making
- Hiring strategy and execution — clarifying what to hire, when, and why
- Talent function build – designing interview flow, scorecards, sourcing, and hiring cadence
Most engagements start with delivery and evolve into longer-term partnerships. The commercial model is flexible by design – retainer, project-based, or blended depending on stage and need.
