The ATC was created over a decade ago by a handful of recruiters as a passion project. The aim was to bring the latest trends and technology from all over the world to Australia and shift the talent community from competitors to collaborators. We couldn’t do all of this without the help of the talent practitioners who take to the stage and are generous in sharing their expertise and time, the sponsors who support the events and the bloggers who wow us with their thinking, musings and recommendations. Thanks for dropping by, we’re pleased to meet you!
