A decade-long collaboration between the hiring platform and the Australian online tradie marketplace has driven a 38% reduction in time-to-fill and $2.8M AUD in agency savings

SYDNEY, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Greenhouse, the leading hiring platform, announced it has been named the winner of the 2026 TIARA Talent Acquisition & Talent Tech Awards (ANZ)’s Long-Term Partnership Award with customer hipages Group, Australia and New Zealand’s top platform connecting homeowners with trusted tradies and helping build better lives for everyone. The award recognises talent acquisition (TA) teams that have built a strong, long–standing partnership with their technology provider for at least five years, demonstrating sustained success, continuous improvement, and shared transformation.

Selected for its structured hiring methodology, Greenhouse supports hipages’ ability to grow as a long-term strategic partner. Together, the two built a data-led recruitment framework that addresses hipages’ challenges of scalability, time-to-fill benchmarks, and quality of hire across all regions, and in turn elevating its TA team into a true strategic function. Greenhouse’s timely on-the-ground presence, backed by an experienced and growing team across Sydney and Singapore, has been a key strength in servicing the region and ensuring customers like hipages receive the dedicated, localised support they need.

“As employers navigate an increasingly complex hiring landscape, it’s more important than ever for TA teams to stay agile and keep optimising how they work,” said Tom Hyde, Greenhouse’s Head of Sales – APAC. “Over ten years, our partnership with hipages has been transparent, collaborative, and deeply aligned on where the future of talent acquisition is headed, all qualities that have led to our successful collaboration.”

“It was twice the thrill for hipages as we also won the Best Candidate Experience award (second year running) and this is very much enabled by the Greenhouse platform,” said Jodette Cleary, Chief People & Culture Officer, hipages Group.

For over a decade, Greenhouse and hipages’ TA team have partnered on key company initiatives, spanning hipages’ acquisition of Builderscrack and expansion into the Philippines and Vietnam. Over that time, the two organizations have co-designed a structured, data-driven hiring framework that helped hipages reduce time-to-fill by 38% (from 49 to 31 days) between FY24 and FY25, increased Quality of Hire scores by 10% in FY25, and saved an estimated $2.8 million AUD in recruitment agency fees.

The recognition follows a year of public collaboration between the two companies, including a joint keynote at the Australian Talent Conference 2025, a customer webinar, and a published case study detailing the partnership’s impact. It also builds on hipages’ existing recognition at the TIARA ANZ Awards, where the company took home the Candidate Experience Award in 2025, joining past honorees including HSBC Australia, DXC Technology, and Abano Healthcare.

PERTH, Australia, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fibocom, a global leader in wireless communication modules and AI solutions, and Digital Matter, global leaders in low-power IoT hardware solutions, recently announced an expanded collaboration. Multiple Digital Matter asset tracking devices have embedded Fibocom’s LE271-GL module, bringing reliable cellular connectivity to ANZ and global markets and supporting mobile asset visibility, remote status monitoring, and scalable IoT deployments.

In logistics and industrial asset management, the core challenge is to capture trusted data across long-distance, long-cycle, and low-maintenance deployments. Tracking devices need stable connectivity in complex environments to transmit location, status, and exception data to business systems, supporting dispatch, inventory, traceability, and risk management.

Built around its ‘Deploy Once’ philosophy, Digital Matter focuses on low-power IoT hardware designed for battery life, durability, easy installation, and remote device management.

Fibocom’s LE271-GL module provides a reliable connectivity foundation for battery-powered tracking devices, with low power consumption, global coverage, and a compact design. Fibocom’s local ANZ team also provides responsive service support, backed by global R&D, product, and delivery resources to help customers accelerate integration validation and scalable rollout.

Through this collaboration, LE271-GL will be used across several of Digital Matter’s portable GPS trackers, cellular asset tags, and package-level tracking devices. Combined with multi-source positioning, condition monitoring, and alert capabilities, these devices help customers improve asset visibility while reducing on-site maintenance and operational losses.

“Our collaboration with Digital Matter brings reliable connectivity and deployment expertise closer together,” said Ronald Chan, VP of APAC Sales Department at Fibocom. “With low-power module design, global network adaptation, and AIoT capabilities, Fibocom will support Digital Matter in expanding its asset tracking portfolio and serving scalable deployment needs across ANZ and global markets.”

“Digital Matter focuses on building reliable, rugged, and easy-to-deploy low-power IoT hardware that helps businesses connect and protect critical assets,” said Matthew Clark-Massera, Head of Product at Digital Matter. “Fibocom’s combined strengths in low-power connectivity, global network coverage, and local ANZ support backed by global technical resources provide greater certainty for our asset tracking portfolio.”

As AIoT adoption accelerates, Fibocom will continue to combine wireless communication and artificial intelligence to enable industry applications and support the shift from “Connect Everything” to “Intelligent Connectivity.”

SYDNEY, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Temu has signed up to a voluntary pledge administered by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to strengthen product safety measures beyond current legal requirements. 

The updated Product Safety Pledge sets out 15 commitments—up from 12 under the original framework launched in 2020—aimed at strengthening product safety practices across online marketplaces in response to the growing number of Australians shopping online. As part of the pledge, Temu will report annually to the ACCC on its performance.

“With Australian households increasingly shopping online from an evolving range of marketplaces, it is critical that consumers are able to make choices that are safe. The pledge goes beyond the existing law thereby adding protection for consumers now and into the future,” said ACCC Deputy Chair Catriona Lowe in a press release.

“We are pleased that online marketplaces have committed to expanding monitoring for unsafe products on their platforms, undertaking regular sweeps to identify and remove unsafe products relisted for sale, and taking certain action when sellers fail to manage product safety issues,” Lowe said.

The strengthened commitments under the Australian Product Safety Pledge include:

Regularly monitor Australian and international product safety websites and alerts for information on recalled or unsafe products and be prepared to act immediately.Provide ongoing information and training to sellers on complying with Australian product safety laws. Implement and continuously improve processes to prevent or restrict the sale of banned, non-compliant and recalled products.

A Temu spokesman said: “Temu is focused on providing consumers with safe and affordable choices for the products they need. Joining the Australian Product Safety Pledge reinforces our ongoing efforts to strengthen product safety and compliance on the platform, building on our existing safeguards and supporting a safe online marketplace.”

Since launching in Australia in March 2023, Temu has received positive feedback for offering Australians access to affordable products across more than 700 categories. Temu introduced its Local Seller Programme in Australia in March 2025, welcoming locally based businesses to sell on the platform. In November 2025, Temu was named the inaugural winner of the People’s Choice Award for Retail Innovation in the 2025 Finder Innovation Awards, as voted by Australian consumers.
