Hello, we're Lucida

To us, recruitment is more than just matching talent to teams. It goes deeper.

Our measurable, empathetic, values-driven approach to hiring helps both company and candidate connect to create enduring business relationships. Relationships that extend from the workplace to the community.

The values that guide us

We’re on a mission to change the culture of hiring for the better. We’re passionate about people and by following our values we aim to make a positive and long-term impact on both our clients and candidates.

Courage

Whether speaking out or taking action. When you have the strength to do the right thing, success will follow.

Liberty

We’re free thinkers and passionate change-makers. We champion exploration, innovation and unbiased, independent thought.

Versatility

Jobs change. Ambitions change. Businesses change. We get that. That’s why we take a flexible, responsive and mindful approach to each one of our partnerships.

Respect

We operate with empathy at our heart. Open-minded and non-judgemental, we listen to learn, not to respond.

Grit

Driven by determination, we don’t just meet expectations, we far exceed them. We don’t stop once the job is done and only measure success by its sustainability.

What makes us different

Lucida is reshaping the culture of hiring.

We believe the most successful results come from empathy so we work closely with organisations to understand and quantify their values.

By understanding each client’s values and vision, we’re able to develop long-term, data-driven strategies that deliver sustainable, measurable results.

Our happy clients

I've found Tamba and his team to be tremendous at helping me with hiring at SSW. I've received help in all-day workshops and we've improved our ATS systems, our data insights and we've had some great hires. Tamba was so awesome we've used his professional services for our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane offices. I'd recommend Lucida to anyone looking for a real value add, in any recruitment/talent area.
