Digital Talent Co. & Women in Digital Graduate Programs & Internships

What makes your organisation stand out from the crowd?

Our both is a little unique as not only are we representing Women in Digital and Digital Talent Co. but also our clients in Brisbane and our community.

We are digital career experts that work with early-in-career individuals to ensure they are work-ready and putting their best foot forward when the go into industry.

Our clients and industry partners range from early stage startups to the Big 4 banks and consultancies and they are all providing excellent career opportunities for graduates.

Tell us what your organisation does and a brief history.

Digital Talent Co. was founded in April 2016 by Holly Tattersall (Founder of Women in Digital) from the desire to offer an enhanced level of service to the digital industry. With over 10 years experience recruiting for in-house digital marketing roles and an earlier stint working at a large ASX listed recruitment firm, she saw an opportunity to create a boutique offering where exceptional service and a focus on personal values led every interaction.

Women in Digital was created in 2014 whilst founder Holly Tattersall was working in Digital Recruitment and noticed the lack of female role models and leaders in the industry. The organisation began as a Mentoring Program that would connect high potential talent with Women at the height of their career looking to support the next generation of Digital Leaders.

We have since evolved the Mentoring Program to facilitate self service Mentor selection, and added a range of events and services for Women in the industry. We are proud to launch the Women in Digital awards in 2018, and see this as an important evolution to identify more industry role models, inspiring the next generation of Digital leaders.
