Make smarter decisions by employing the best people
Smarter decisions help organisations to achieve their goals. Nearly every business is trying to harness the power of data to inform their decision-making, and therefore, hiring the best talent in data should be at the forefront of every organisation's recruitment strategy.
As the first recruitment firm in Australia to launch a dedicated data practice in 2003, Bluefin Resources boasts an unparalleled knowledge of the data employment market, and as such, our networks and relationships run far deeper than that of any other recruitment firm in Australia.
What truly sets our consultants apart from our competitors is that each consultant works tightly within a specific part of the data lifecycle, allowing them to build greater subject matter expertise. This in turn allows us to provide a consultative service to both clients and candidates, to build unique pools of talent, and to provide our clients with the best qualified people on the market.

What candidates and clients
say about Bluefin Resources
The process was smooth and Marie Thow understood our tricky brief and delivered 4 candidates to us who would all have been acceptable. We were spoiled for choice in this very difficult candidate market.
General Manager HR, Media
I worked with Marie on a couple of different occasions, both as a candidate and as a hiring manager. Marie understands the Data Science market really well and knows what a hiring manager looks for in the candidates. As a hiring manager, I can confidently say that the candidates put forward by Marie were good fit for the roles. It was a pleasure working with Marie. I highly recommend Marie to other managers hiring for Data Science roles.

Followed up even after I started. Would highly recommend!
