Nothing off the shelf. Everything built to brief.
If your brief does not fit a standard package, start here. For high-stakes partnerships, we design an engagement around your goals, led from the top.

If your brief does not fit a standard package, start here. For high-stakes partnerships, we design an engagement around your goals, led from the top.
Most of what we do follows a clear format. Some briefs do not. They are larger, more confidential, or in territory where there is no template to follow.
If that sounds like yours, we would like to hear it. We start by listening, and we design from there.

If one of these sounds familiar, it is worth a conversation.
Hundreds of specialist hires in a single quarter, without ever lowering the bar.
A senior team in a field where the right people are rare and heavily contested.
Building a workforce in a country or sector where your name means little yet.
Rebuilding the capabilities you hire for as automation rewrites entire functions.
A leadership or board-level mandate that cannot touch the open market.
Standing up a new team, division or function where none exists today.

Bespoke mandates are led personally by Ben, who founded Talentbank in 2010 on one conviction: the right talent and the right employer should always be able to find each other.
Over the 16 years since, he has built relationships across 100+ universities, 25,000+ employers, industry bodies and government, and has advised on employability at a national level.
For the most complex mandates, you are working with Ben directly.
Three steps, senior-led from the first call to delivery.

It begins with a private call with our CEO, to understand what you want to achieve.

We design a bespoke engagement drawing on the full breadth of our ecosystem.

Our team sees it through, with the discretion and rigour high-stakes work demands.
Our CEO offers a select number of private 15-minute calls for organisations seeking a highly customised strategy. If a mandate cannot be delivered, we say so at the outset. If we take it on, we see it through.
