About Klaw Talent

Built by Tech People, for Tech People.

At Klaw Talent, we specialise in connecting organisations with exceptional technology talent. Based in Sydney and founded by seasoned tech professionals and hiring managers, we know the realities of building strong teams because we have been through the process ourselves. We recruit across software engineering, product, quality assurance, data, and technology leadership roles throughout APAC, with Australia as our core market. Our mission is simple: to help businesses find the right people with the right capability, mindset, and cultural fit.

We're not a volume shop. We run a focused, high-touch process, because the best candidates have options, and the best companies deserve more than a database dump.

Specialist Focus

Tech only. We know the difference between a platform engineer and a DevOps contractor — and why it matters for your hire.

Honest Advice

We'll tell you when the role is scoped wrong or the salary is off-market - before it costs you 3 months of wasted process.

Candidate Confidentiality

We never circulate CVs without consent. Candidates trust us with their career - we take that seriously.

Speed Without Sacrifice

48-hour shortlists don't mean cutting corners - they mean we work the phones, not just the ATS.
