UK to AU: How Megan Thompson is Connecting Software Development Talent across APAC

We’re excited to welcome Megan Thompson to the Kaliba team as a Recruitment Consultant specialising in Software Development.


Originally from the north of the UK, Megan brings nearly three years of experience recruiting tech professionals across Cloud and Software Development. Now based in Melbourne, she’s helping connect Australia’s top software talent with some of the most innovative tech companies across APAC.


“I started on a Cloud desk, then moved into Software Development recruitment, and since joining Kaliba, I’ve been focusing on the Australian Software Development market.”


During her time in recruitment, Megan has successfully placed candidates across roles such as Software Developers, Development Managers, and Heads of Department, and she’s just getting started.

Why Kaliba?


When asked what drew her to Kaliba, Megan didn’t hesitate:


“The progression opportunities outlined during the interview stages were a key factor in my decision. The potential for growth was clearly communicated, with a focus on developing my skills and expanding my responsibilities over time.”


That focus on growth is exactly what she’s looking forward to.


“I’m looking forward to being a sponge - taking in all the information I can from the team here at Kaliba, and then storming the AU market.”


Beyond the Desk


Outside of work, Megan describes herself as bubbly, fiery, and kind-hearted. She enjoys spending time with friends, binge-watching TV shows and documentaries, and gaming on her Nintendo Switch. (Fun fact: she’s never broken a bone!)


Her dad has been her greatest inspiration:


“He’s always been independent and kept our family supported. That’s inspired me to be the same.”


And her personal superpower?


“Always managing to come across confident and not afraid of a challenge - even if I don’t feel it at the time.”


We’re thrilled to have Megan on board and can’t wait to see the impact she makes for our clients and jobseeker network across the Software Development space.


Connect with Megan on LinkedIn to discuss your Software Development career or hiring needs.


We're still hiring for our team...


We’re looking for more Megans!
