Talent has been announced as one of nine top-performing private Australian companies recognised for their outstanding business performance in Deloitte Australia’s 2025 Best Managed Companies awards. It is the only Australian recruitment business to be recognised in the winners.

Now in its sixth year – and supported by Google Cloud – the Best Managed Companies program identifies and celebrates privately-owned and managed companies across Australia that set high standards of business performance and shines a light on the power of private businesses as innovators and major contributors to Australia’s economy.

The program uses a tried and tested framework for determining success, and winners are recognised based on achieving high scores across four key categories: strategy; culture and commitment; capabilities and innovation; and governance and financials.

Global CEO, Mark Nielsen, spoke on Talent’s commitment to leading change and empowering people to move forward without fear.

“Winning Deloitte’s Best Managed Companies award for the third year in a row is something we’re incredibly proud of. At Talent, change is our competitive advantage. Our vision is to change the game so that our customers and our people can move forward fearlessly, and that ambition drives how we innovate, invest and lead. With an 85% employee engagement rate, our culture remains a powerful foundation for performance. This recognition reflects the belief, resilience and commitment of our teams globally, who continue to push boundaries and deliver impact for our clients and contractors.”

Global COO, Megan Woodbury, said Talent’s continued success is driven by clarity and operational discipline.

“Sustained performance doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from clarity of strategy, disciplined execution and creating an environment where people can do their best work. As a people-powered business, attracting, developing and retaining exceptional talent is central to our success. Being recognised again by Deloitte reflects the consistency and commitment of our teams. We remain focused on delivering measurable impact for our clients and continued growth built on strong governance and operational excellence.”
