At Solve, we transform how businesses tackle talent.

Too long? Ok, let’s put it another way: we solve the workforce problems that keep you up at night, so you can do the other stuff.

Solve is a division of Talent International – the largest privately owned recruitment business in Asia Pacific and one of Deloitte’s Best Managed Companies.

Launched in 2018 as Talent Solutions, we quickly developed a reputation in the Australian talent community as a supplier of specialist expertise and scale. At the time, our name stood out; it was fresh and original in a market where “RPO” and “outsourcing” were the go-to terms. In the years since, the name evolved from being our unique differentiator to the industry standard.  What can we say, we’re trailblazers.

But as the industry evolves, so do we. In 2024, Solve by Talent was born.

A new name, a new look, but with the same people and expertise that makes us the go-to partner for companies seeking to navigate the complexities of talent acquisition and management.

Welcome to Solve by Talent: the future of talent solutions.

Meet the team.
