Gender and Flexibility Considerations When Hiring
We have amended all Tech vacancies to be available on a part-time basis. This will open up talent pools to candidates who require part-time schedules, such as parents, who now may apply for the roles knowing that they can juggle work and their personal lives. We also strive to include at least one female interviewer and candidate in each selection process. All our job descriptions and adverts use gender-neutral language, to ensure we have an even gender split in our role shortlist.
Empower Women in Leadership Program
hipages Group is passionate about investing in the development of our female leaders, by influencing these leaders to be confident and authentic female leaders who consistently tap into their strengths to be their best selves.
Our Empower Women in Leadership program is designed to help build the skills of our current and emerging female leaders in areas including communication styles, networking, strategic thinking, breaking down barriers and wellbeing. Each quarter, our participants participate in a learning event, group coaching and 1:1 coaching all supplemented by reading and online modules.
In 2024, we are offering fully sponsored spots to women who identify as First Nations or who have faced social barriers in their professional development.
Diversity Equality and Belonging (DE&B) Committee
We recently established an DE&B Committee to help further establish ourselves as a leader in the technology industry as we continue to contribute to creating opportunities that set women in tech up for success.
About Us
hipages Group journey extends far from where we started: as two friends bringing their idea to life at the back of a garage to a listed company with a vision of becoming the most trusted partner in the trade industry.
The epic ride started in 2004 when we launched hipages Group’s founding company, hipages. In 2020, we successfully entered the Australian Stock Exchange, became an ASX-listed business and transited to its current subscription model in 2021. It is now Australia’s largest online tradie marketplace.
In 2021, we acquired New Zealand’s leading tradie marketplace, Builderscrack. Additionally, we launched Tradiecore, a job management platform that makes it easier for tradies to manage their business and simplify their admin.
