Who is Talent Table?


ABOUT US
About Talent Table
We started in 2017 with a mission to shake up Talent Acquisition—and we did.
From intimate roundtables to the unapologetically bold Talentpalooza, we created spaces where TA professionals could learn, connect, and grow without the corporate fluff.
But the world of work is shifting fast. AI is changing the rules.
Old HR playbooks are being shredded. And we’re not sitting on the sidelines.
Talent Table is evolving.
We're expanding our focus from TA to the whole of HR—because the future of work needs all of us. We're still community-first. Still informal, human, and honest. But now we’re going deeper: tackling the big, messy, complex questions HR is facing.
And doing it together.
Through small-group learning, raw conversations, and no-BS events, we’re creating space for HR professionals to upskill, unlearn, and lead the reinvention of our profession.
Because, as tech moves fast, people need to move faster.
And the best way to predict the future of work?
Invent it. Together.

Director
Andrea has significant experience in Talent and HR in Australia and the UK. She has led recruitment teams, implemented numerous recruitment systems and worked on projects in employment branding, scale-up volume recruitment and process improvement across retail, legal, consulting and corporate functions.
Talent Table was developed from her passion for connecting people, to create a community of peers that allow each other to be the best they can be. Great friendships have formed since we first held events back in 2017 and she is excited to be taking it one step further and bringing together a community in our region.

“It is a great way to connect and share information. I have already told a fellow recruiter from another company to reach out and join.”

“It was my 2nd Talent Table and I find them really good. I love that you give space for small groups to discuss current trends, enough time to network and also a on point speaker! Thank you!”
