The Challenge
The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing required rapid access to skilled ICT professionals to support demand across the Aged Care Program, including specialist capability for architecture and related delivery functions.
The client needed resources who could be identified, screened and deployed within compressed timeframes, while still meeting the expectations of a complex Commonwealth delivery environment. Speed was important, but so was quality: candidates needed the right technical capability, communication skills, government delivery experience and cultural fit.
Pinaka’s Role
Pinaka responded with a structured, targeted recruitment approach designed to scale quickly while maintaining quality control.
The team used targeted outreach across professional networks, job boards and direct candidate engagement to build a focused talent pool. Candidates were assessed through phone screening, technical validation, reference checks and suitability reviews before being shortlisted for client consideration.
Pinaka also provided tailored interview preparation to ensure candidates understood the client environment, role expectations and delivery context. After placement, regular check-ins with both candidates and the client helped maintain engagement, reduce delivery risk and support retention.
