Extend+
Your Outsourced Talent Partner.
On-Demand Recruitment Experts.
The benefit of an experienced in-house recruitment team, without the cost, overhead, or headcount.
Extend+ gives you an on-demand external talent function. You work directly with senior partners Rob or Sharmia (15+ years in industry). We provide professional systems, broader reach, consistent process, and senior expertise exactly when you need it, so you can focus on growing the business instead of chasing candidates.
Sound familiar?
No HR resource
Hiring decisions fall to the GM, Country Manager, or functional leader on top of everything else.
One off agency fees add up
Percentage-based fees are unpredictable. Traditional agencies aren't built around your business.
No consistent process
Every hire starts from scratch. No pipeline, no data, no system carrying forward.
There is a better way.
We built a better model.
We step in as your external talent partner, delivering:
Professional systems & infrastructure — Full ATS setup (if you need it) at no extra cost. Proper applicant tracking, reporting, and pipeline management — goodbye to spreadsheets and lost applications.
Broader reach — Your roles are actively promoted across Seek, LinkedIn, industry boards, our networks, and proactively sourced from specialist pharma/biotech talent pools.
Senior expertise without the payroll — Direct access to Rob or Sharmia on every hire. Deep industry knowledge and consistent senior leadership.
Consistent process & brand experience — Every candidate receives a professional, high-quality experience that strengthens your employer brand.
You get the value of a dedicated recruitment team, without hiring one.
Why Extend+ works for growing companies.
Founders and leaders in ANZ life sciences tell us the same things: they need high-quality hiring support right now, but aren’t ready (or don’t want) the fixed cost and overhead of a full-time internal recruiter.
Extend+ is intentionally built for this exact situation. Whether you have one critical role, a busy period with multiple hires, or ongoing scaling needs — you get instant access to senior talent expertise and professional infrastructure on your terms.
Tap in when you need us — no long-term lock-in
Flexible partnership options that scale with you
Always senior support (Rob or Sharmia)
Full systems and processes included when required
