Please join us in welcoming Hayley Siviour!

Hayley’s a familiar face to many, having joined us at a few meetups where her energy, smarts, and genuine passion for the talent world totally stood out. Most recently, she was in a national Talent Acquisition Manager role with , and now that she’s got a bit more time on her hands, we couldn’t resist asking if she’d like to team up with us. Lucky for us, she said yes! 🙌

Hayley will be joining Simon de Laine and Jeannette Borg as we continue to build Adelaide’s Talent Community into 2026 and beyond, bringing together people who love what they do and aren’t afraid to share ideas, insights, and a few laughs along the way.

If you haven’t met Hayley yet, you will soon. Our final Adelaide Talent Meetup for the year is locked in for 4pm, Thursday 27 November, and it’s shaping up to be huge (and not just because Hayley’s joined the crew 😉).

We’ve also got two incredible sponsors flying in to lead the conversation on what’s arguably the biggest topic in talent right now! 👀
Details drop next week, but for now, mark your calendars and get ready for a great night!

Our last Adelaide Talent Meetup event was a full house - and it’s safe to say “Crafting Hiring Journeys That Actually Work” struck a chord with many in the room.

A huge thank you to our brilliant panel:

🟪 Will Sloat - Checkmate
🟪 Rebecca Coles-Reid - Journey Beyond
🟪 Kate Graney – University of Adelaide
🟪 Connor George – Danny Met Sally

You each brought thoughtful, practical insights on what it really takes to design hiring processes that are strategic and human - from a diverse range of industry sectors.

We loved seeing so many familiar faces and welcoming so many new members to our growing meetup community. Special shoutout to the team at Checkmate - Will, Dave and Helen G. - for not only sponsoring the event and supplying the pizza, but also keeping the Prohibition Liquor Co. bar going until last drinks at 10pm (and serving up that delicious purple gin cocktail 🍸).

A special thanks to Laura Johnson, who couldn't be there but was instrumental in helping us make the event a success - and to Andrea Kirby, who helped us with some wonderful speaker suggestions 🙏. Thanks to everyone who came along, contributed, and helped make it another standout night.

📩 If you’re not already in the Adelaide Talent Meetup LinkedIn group, come join the conversation (Join here: https://lnkd.in/eeyu_NAg) - we’ll be announcing our August event soon!

Cheers, Simon & Jeannette 😀
