Clarity before we begin.
Is Catalyst a recruitment agency?
Catalyst provides the temporary professionals, integrated resources and fractional executives who deliver work within your business. Independent recruitment providers source candidates for those engagements; Catalyst manages the temporary staffing relationship and service delivery.
How is an integrated resource different from temporary staffing?
A temporary professional adds capacity within your team structure. An integrated resource also has Catalyst subject matter experts actively leading, managing, supporting and developing them.
How does Catalyst work with clients?
We begin by understanding your business, the work and the support required. Together, we define the engagement, align the right professionals or leaders and stay connected throughout delivery.
How do Catalyst Talent Solutions and Hughes Collective work together?
Catalyst Talent Solutions and Hughes Recruitment & Strategy Collective are separate businesses that work together through a strategic partnership.
Catalyst specializes in professional secondments, integrated resources, and fractional executive support, working with a trusted network of Talent Partners rather than operating as a traditional recruitment agency.
Hughes Collective is one of those strategic partners. As part of her role with Hughes, Nicole Bangs also provides dedicated account management support to Catalyst, serving as a primary point of contact for clients and helping coordinate the right resources and relationships.
Do you provide temporary labourers or tradespeople?
Catalyst focuses on professional secondments, integrated resources and fractional executives. If you need temporary labourers or tradespeople, we can help connect you with partners who support those requirements.
