Here is what a few Adage employers have to say about hiring maturity...


"I would just like to thank Kath and the team at Adage for a great recruitment experience.  We were looking for someone with specialised software development skills and we found that Adage were willing to listen and support our needs.  We identified a candidate from the website and secured them within a week which was just terrific."

                                                                       - Jo O'Brien, CEO  Tramada Systems Pty Ltd   


"Your site is fantastic! I registered this morning, posted a job and also made use of the resume search function.  I have found some great people already - including one who is perfect for our role."                         - Simon Edwards, Manager BankWest Corporate & Business Division


"After spending some time searching for an Administration Assistant using various other means, we are pleased to have chosen an Adage candidate who is proving to be a positive addition to our staff. The site provided us with a wide range of candidates from which we were able to choose the most suitable."

- Andrew Kelty, Financial Controller, GK Strata Management Pty Ltd


"We were looking for a part-time administrative assistant / bookkeeper, and were
lucky to find someone who had only recently registered with Adage. She is a great fit for our team, we are glad to have hired her and she is enjoying the role."

                                                                         - Angela Malkin, John R Brogan & Associates


"Adage understands the needs of the mature age professional. They made me feel like a person, not a number, respecting my skills and experience. Venturing into new employment arenas in my 40's, Adage connected me with AMP, a company that values experience and actively promotes the employment of mature age professionals"

- Maxine Lacey, former Diversity Manager AMP


"Tactics has been delighted with the excellent advice and volume of the candidates from Adage. We have been seeking consultants to join our development teams on a number of long term projects and have been delighted with the quality, attitude and skill sets of the candidates"

                                                                                    - John Catlin, CEO Tactics Consulting


"Since we began recruiting a few more mature people into our business, we have noticed a lot more stability in the workforce and they are always willing to mentor the younger workers"


"We had to change the way we went about attracting candidates. With Gen Y only staying with us for an average of 18 months this was significantly increasing HR costs. Using Adage to source a growing pool of mature workers has offered a great solution"



"Thank you Adage! Anne has been a real asset to the team. Although at first we thought she might be over-qualified for the role, she fitted in immediately and adds enormous value above and beyond her job description"


And feedback from Adage members has included...



"First I wishto let you know that I came across your website via a notice board at Hudson. I did find it interesting. I have decided to go through a career change to become a financial planner. The job I am starting next week, is a one year contract with AMP's Horizons Academy. It came just at the right time when I became compliant with ASIC & will allow me to go through the change of career / transition I have planned while getting the right training & support. Thanks for your support!"

- Maurice, Adage member


"Keep up the good work. Your site is becoming well known. You are also giving hope to a demographic that feels discriminated against. Thanks"

                                                                                   - Michael Squires, Adage member


"I was really pleased to win a few executive coaching and career sessions in the Adage prize draw as I was in the middle of the search for a new role. SageCo assessed my CV, interview tactics and job search strategy and was able to offer some simple yet fundamental advice for improving my chances of success. The coach also took me through some exercises that are helping me to sort out what I really want to do when I grow up! Arguably the best thing that came out of these sessions was that I was opened me up to the positive side of being part of the 'mature workforce' - the opportunity to combine part-time contract work for several clients into a satisfying full-time career. It's terrific working with a team that views my experience as an asset and not a liability!"

- Ray Welling. Adage member



"thank you for your professional and caring approach to my placement as a senior accountant"

- Robin Marshall, Adage member


"It was good for me to think again about my goals in life and to be reminded of the skills that I can offer to the world. The career connections session was well structured and challenging. The experience left me with a number of practical goals, including improving my resume. Even more important, it gave me increased energy and enthusiasm about taking more control over the direction of my future career."

- Andrew Greig, Adage member


"I would like to thank you for the professional service and the hard work you do in educating employers about the value of recruiting older workers"


"At last! A service that caters to us older workers. Well done Adage!"


"I had applied for over 200 roles on other job boards and never heard back. Not only did I receive a response to the 3 roles I applied for on Adage, I got a job, 3 days a week and hope to stay here for the next 5 years!"
