Building the fabric of Australia’s future
Beyond filling seats, we immerse ourselves in the ecosystems that drive innovation. We’ve moved past the tourist approach to recruitment, becoming insiders in the technology and engineering communities. From our roots in Newcastle, to expanding into Sydney and Melbourne, NTP Talent is made up of senior specialists who speak the language of the stack and understand the mechanics of a site. We provide a peer-to-peer advantage that bridges the gap between top-tier talent and the industries shaping Australia’s future.
From the sidelines to the inner circle
Founded in 2018 by Linda Apostolidis and James MacDonald, NTP Talent was born in Newcastle’s tech and innovation hub and has since expanded into Sydney and Melbourne, and to cover engineering. We partner with organisations that value quality over quantity and have become trusted advisors to leading companies across government, higher education, utilities, energy, manufacturing, SaaS, and financial services.
By focusing exclusively on technology and engineering, our recruiters are seen as peers by CTOs and Engineering Managers alike. We are residents of the industries we serve, deeply committed to the long-term health of the tech and engineering fabric across Australia.

Our Values
Trust: We do what we say
we’ll do.
we’ll do.
We build credibility through reliability and transparency. We own our outcomes and have the honest, respectful conversations necessary to move projects forward.
Excellence: We deliver quality that lasts.
We vet beyond the syntax, looking for the cultural nuance and problem-solving mindsets that ensure a hire lasts three years, not three months. We use AI and technology to work smarter, but we never lose the human touch.
Curiosity: We go deeper to
find better answers.
find better answers.
We ask better questions to understand the “why” behind a hire. We stay hungry to learn, interpreting markets and context rather than just reading CVs and searching keywords.
