We’re about better, brighter and more forward-thinking tech talent, roles and culture. From coding and development to fast-moving global start-up projects, we’ve got every base of this ever-evolving industry covered.
Culture, then capability.
We understand tech talent and the connection to your culture better than anyone. Life-changing tech starts with raw talent. And connects broadly and meaningfully to your entire business.
No digital detoxes here.
Be it small defined tasks, a development project or piece of work that might last a generation, we match your current requirements to candidate capability and potential.
Regional cities: better than the best
Our brand and loyal specialist consultants are intimately tied to the tech ambition that runs deep through our regional cities. As capital cities surrender the monopoly they once had on challenges and careers in this space, we're doing something about it.
Upcoming tech talent under 30
We’re not just early adopters of tech, we’re early adopters of talent.

Testimonials
I dealt with Richard Hamstead from Rarekind who was professional and polite at all times. After making contact, it took less than a week for Richard to place me in a really great role.
His follow up was on point and timely and he handled all initial communication between myself and my prospective employer very effectively.
I highly recommend using Richard and Rarekind if you are seeking employment.
Damien Collings
Senior Software Developer
It was a pleasure to work with Rich who provided support all the way through the process and was always available to answer any questions I had.
A professional and experienced team I would recommend to any prospective job seekers.
John Scott, IT Manager
Margaret Jurd College
After 7 months of looking for a new role, I have worked with many different recruitment agencies and consultants, and I was starting to get a little despondent around how some of them treated applicants.
Then I meet Mitchell. He approached me for a role that he had available and asked if I would like to apply. He took me through the details of the role, then explained the process that he, and his client would be following. Not only did he and the client stick to the timelines that he had explained, but he also provided honest and straightforward discussion and feedback at each step, that enabled me to be successful in getting the role.
He has restored my faith in recruitment consultants, and I would recommend him, and Rarekind for all your employment requirements.
Michael Long
Solutions Architect

Very happy with the role and would recommend Rarekind to anyone wishing to find employment.

Director - Executive and IT
This guy has seen it all before. In a good way. Candidates listen when he speaks. Clients feel confident when he acts. Paul makes more placements than not from the existing network he has built over 20 years in the game and when they're ready to move again, they call.
Mitch McCormack
Manager – Engineering, IT and Supply Chain
A small-town guy dedicated to linking talented tech people to awesome organisations. Sometimes it sounds to us like Mitch is speaking another language. Not to his clients and candidates though. To them he is crystal clear. That's how connected he is. How intimately he knows his market.
