ENTERPRISE TECHNOLOGY RESOURCING, DONE PROPERLY
We're Sceptical of Recruitment Agencies Too
That's why Helix isn't one. We're a small, hands-on consultancy. We place senior technology people we already know and trust — across SAP, cloud, data, and enterprise platforms — and stay involved until the job is actually done.
The Trouble With Most Technology Recruitment
Most technology recruitment runs on volume. Recruiters who've never worked on an enterprise program flick CVs at you until something sticks, take their fee, and disappear the moment the contract's signed. You're left managing a stranger on your own program, hoping the person on paper is the person who turns up.
It's a model designed to serve the recruiter. Not you, and not the program.
We built Helix for the roles where that approach creates the most damage: senior, scarce, business-critical hires where the cost of a bad decision isn't just inconvenient. It materialises in delays, rework, and governance risk that rolls through the entire program.
Meet Andrew Hely
I started my career at the Deloitte SAP Practice in Melbourne, moved to Hong Kong for a PwC engagement with China Light & Power, then spent nearly five years in Paris as a Senior SAP BI Consultant for TotalEnergies — one of the world's largest energy companies. London followed, with projects at Barclays and Unilever, before I came back to Australia and worked with many customers including Rio Tinto, CSIRO, Victoria Police, La Trobe University, and Telstra.
That's close to thirty years working inside enterprise programs across five countries. Not reviewing them from the outside. Inside them — in delivery environments where the wrong person in a critical role had real consequences.
In 2012 I founded Helix Intelligence, specifically to solve the problem I'd watched derail good programs throughout that career: talent that looks right on paper and performs wrong in the room. In 2017 I built Concerto Analytics — a business modelling platform for CFOs and executive teams — because I'm still a technologist, not a retired one. I understand what enterprise organisations actually need because I'm still working inside that world.
When you work with Helix, you're not getting a CV matching service. Every person we put forward is someone I or a trusted colleague has worked alongside in a real delivery environment, assessed under pressure, and would back with our own name.
"I've sat inside enough enterprise programs to know exactly what breaks them. It's rarely the technology. It's the wrong person in a seat that mattered. That's the specific problem Helix exists to fix."

01
Curated,
Not Cold-Called
Every person we put forward comes from a network built over thirty years, across five countries. We know their work, their delivery track record, and how they operate under pressure — not just their CV.
02
We Don't Disappear at Placement
Most recruiters finish the moment the contract's signed. We stay close, checking in with both sides, troubleshooting early if something isn't tracking the way it should.

Real Program Experience
Our background is in enterprise delivery — Deloitte, PwC, TotalEnergies, Rio Tinto, Telstra. We understand how programs actually run, what good looks like in practice, and how to assess capability beyond what someone puts on paper.
What We Do
We offer two core services, both built around the same principle: precision over volume, fit over speed.
Specialist Recruitment
We recruit across contract, fixed-term, and permanent roles, with a focus on engagements where getting it right matters most. That means senior, technical, and transformation-focused hires where talent is genuinely scarce and delivery risk is real.
We work across program and delivery roles, architecture, business and functional leads, cyber security, and the full technical and digital stack. If the role is hard to fill and critical to get right, that's where we focus.
Talent Mapping & Market Insight
For organisations navigating niche or emerging capability areas, we also provide talent mapping and market intelligence — so you know where the talent pool actually sits before you're under pressure to fill a seat. This is particularly useful for workforce planning ahead of large programs, building out a COE, or understanding what a realistic hiring timeline looks like for a hard-to-fill discipline.

Why Helix
We've Been Inside the Programs We're Hiring For
Our background isn't in recruitment, it's in enterprise delivery. Deloitte, PwC, TotalEnergies, Rio Tinto, Telstra, Victoria Police. Close to thirty years across organisations where delivery failure has real consequences. That experience shapes how we assess candidates: not what they claim, but what we know holds up in practice.
We Bring More Than Recruitment
Our experience in governance, delivery frameworks, and COE design means we can do more than place people. We can help you think through what capability you actually need, what a realistic talent market looks like for it, and how to structure your approach to reduce delivery risk — not just fill a seat.
A Proven Network in Complex Environments
We've delivered specialist talent into demanding enterprise environments including Goodman Fielder, Wilmar Sugar, Wesfarmers, Nutrien, La Trobe University, and Victoria Police — across roles including Solution Architects, Principal Consultants, Senior Developers, and Enterprise Platform Specialists.
Higher Education Specialists
Eight years working with La Trobe University across complex ICT and enterprise transformation gave us an unusually detailed understanding of Australian university environments: student lifecycle systems, EFTSL modelling, load planning, architecture governance, GRC, enterprise reporting across finance, HR, and procurement, and COE design. If your organisation operates in or adjacent to higher education, we know the environment and the talent pool.
