Late February 2023 I finally made the decision to jump from the APS into the contracting world. This is something that I had been considering for many years now and the timing felt right. I decided to join Aventious for two reasons:
I have worked alongside Chris for close to three years now in the Aged Care Sector and really clicked with him and his work style. I quickly learnt that we were very similar in our personalities but also career ambitions so when he approached me (many, many times) to join the team I knew that it was going to be a good move for me where I didn’t feel like I would fail!
They are a smaller company which means they really care about their people! Chris and Vikas really make time to get to know you as an individual and answer any questions that you have. They are so transparent and leave no room for misinterpretation. The amount of hours I spent discussing my move with them was insane yet they didn’t make me feel like a burden.
This was by far the biggest carer move I have made so far and I can say I have done so with so much confidence knowing that I have the full support of Aventious behind me and that they will not let me fail.
If you are looking for a career move I can’t recommend Aventious enough – I honestly should have done this sooner!

It gives me great pleasure to acknowledge and appreciate the outstanding work done by team at Aventious in securing me a pivotal Business Analyst role. The quality of their service, their keen attention to detail, and their commitment to ensuring a seamless transition for me were nothing short of exemplary. From the very outset, I was provided with clear guidance regarding application documents and response to selection criteria. This help was not just expert but also insightful, demonstrating their comprehensive understanding of the job application process.
In the run-up to the interview, I was briefed extensively about the role and what was expected of me. Both Chris and Vikas maintained close communication with me, leaving no room for ambiguity, which gave me confidence and allowed me to prepare effectively. Their consistent support during this time was instrumental in my performance during the interview. Post-interview, their proactivity was exceptional. They promptly followed up with the agency, ensuring timely communication and keeping me updated with every development. Their promptness and dedication were remarkable, demonstrating an impressive level of professionalism.
When an issue arose concerning my work location, they wasted no time in addressing it. They tirelessly liaised with the agency, proving their dedication and commitment to their clients. This quick resolution and successful contract closure is a testament to their negotiation skills and relentless pursuit of client satisfaction.
Before my official start date, they continued to guide me through the formalities, helping me understand what to expect on my first day, making me feel more than a client – a part of their team. This level of personal attention was incredibly reassuring, setting a positive tone for my new role. On my first day, their continued support was heartening. Their check-ins throughout the day reflected their genuine interest in my wellbeing and their commitment to ensuring a smooth transition for me. This level of ownership and care is quite rare in the industry and is worthy of high praise.
Overall, the professionalism, dedication, and personal attention demonstrated by the team at Aventious throughout this process was truly exceptional. I am incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a seamless recruitment experience.

As an independent consultant searching for my next role, it’s not common to feel like just another cog in an enormous machine. However, this expectation was completely transformed when I came across Aventious.
My experience with the team has been nothing short of extraordinary. I knew from the moment that I started speaking with them that they’d be my first choice. Aventious sets themselves apart by genuinely investing time and energy into understanding who you are as an individual. When considering me as a candidate, they took the time to deep dive into my unique skill set and career aspirations.
They ensured that the role I was matched with was not merely suitable but was also a strategic steppingstone towards my long-term professional goals. Even now, being months into the role, the team often reach out to see how I am going and offer any support I might need.
Aventious is all about fuelling the growth of their people, whilst driving client success. I’m impressed by their distinct commitment to their people, and I can wholeheartedly say I’m proud to be a part of the Aventious team!

Over many years working as an independent ICT contractor, my experiences with IT recruitment and service companies has taught me to not expect very much from them. That hasn’t always been the case. Earlier in my career, there was a much more personal approach, which I believe yielded a far better understanding of a client’s needs with a better match with a candidate’s skills and experiences. Quite simply, I’ve found that the larger number of ICT recruiters have become more concerned with having you on their books than working with you to identify an appropriate work engagement for you.
Thankfully, my experience with Aventious was remarkably different and has reaffirmed my foundational ‘old school’ approach is similarly still valued within ICT service companies. The benefits of the Aventious approach is multi-faceted. I wasn’t just a name on their books, waiting to receive a (spam) email that has questionable connection to my experience. I spoke with various members of the Aventious team (all of which knew who I was and what I was seeking to do) to discuss various potential roles that were clearly an extension to my work and related to my career aspirations. The Aventious team weren’t only trying to engage me with a client – they were committed to ensuring that the engagement was to be the right fit for both parties.
My engagement process with Aventious spanned several months, across which there were frequent conversations about the roles available – which also reflected that Aventious were very much in tune with their clients to understand not only the specific skills and nuanced experiences, but also the personal attributes and workplace environment aspects that are important to a good fit for a candidate.

I am thrilled to share my experience working with Aventious, a dynamic consulting firm that has provided me with outstanding service and support during my onboarding into the Department of Health. From day one, Aventious showed a strong commitment to ensuring that my transition into my new role was as seamless as possible, by providing me with expert guidance, support and resources that helped me to quickly acclimate to my new environment. They truly went above and beyond to ensure that I was fully supported in my new role, and that my experience with the Department of Health was a positive one.
The team at Aventious were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the entire onboarding process, consistently going above and beyond to ensure that my needs were met, and my questions were answered promptly. Their strong culture of service delivery and dedication to employee recognition has truly set them apart from other consulting firms in their field
One of the things that impressed me the most about Aventious was their willingness to take the time to understand my personal goals and objectives, and tailor their services accordingly. They have also actively sought to understand my long-term career aspirations and helped to define a long term path for growth and progression.
Thanks to their commitment to culture and dedication to employee recognition, I have developed a strong relationship with Aventious that I believe will continue to thrive for many years to come. I would highly recommend Aventious to anyone looking for a consulting firm that truly puts their clients’ needs first.

I found myself unexpectedly out of a contract along with a large group of people after a government department downsizing prior to Christmas. Chris from Aventious reached out to me almost immediately to offer help in locating a new contract.
Throughout the process they were in regular contact providing updates on progress and to also offer support and encouragement during the process. They found me an exceptional contract including negotiating an excellent salary. This level of support has also continued since commencing the contract.
The Aventious Team are very organised and extremely professional whilst also providing a very personal service. I could not rate Aventious more highly and would have no doubt in recommending them, and already have, to anyone looking for a new role.
