NEW YORK, June 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the year reaches its midpoint and summer temperatures rise to their peak, many individuals and families naturally begin reassessing their daily routines, looking for ways to improve comfort, convenience, and overall quality of life. For those who rely on oxygen concentrators in daily living, this is often the moment when small upgrades can make a meaningful difference.

Whether at home, during family gatherings, or while going out for daily errands and outdoor activities, having a reliable and easy-to-use oxygen concentrator setup plays an important role in maintaining independence and confidence throughout the day.

Across many real-world user experiences, one consistent insight emerges: it is not just about oxygen delivery performance, but about how seamlessly the device fits into everyday life. Quiet operation, portability, ease of handling, and flexible usage scenarios all contribute to a more comfortable and less restrictive experience.

For many users and families, the goal is simple—continue living actively, stay connected with loved ones, and move through daily routines with greater ease and reassurance.

Introducing the Mid-Year Comfort Upgrade Season

To support this mid-year lifestyle transition, VARON is launching its Comfort Upgrade Season, a limited-time campaign designed around selected oxygen concentrators that support everyday use, home comfort, and mobility-focused lifestyles.

This seasonal event brings together a curated selection of models and configurations chosen for their practicality, usability, and suitability for both indoor and outdoor scenarios. The focus is on helping users find more comfortable and adaptable solutions for their daily needs, while also enjoying added seasonal value.

During the Comfort Upgrade Season, customers can enjoy:

Up to 40% off select VARON oxygen concentratorsFree gift card included with eligible purchasesComplimentary cannula and accessory gifts with selected ordersSpecial bundle configurations designed for different usage needs

These offers are designed not only to provide seasonal value, but also to make it easier for customers to access more flexible and well-matched solutions for their lifestyle.

Designed for Real-Life Daily Comfort

The oxygen concentrators featured in this campaign are selected with everyday usability in mind. From quiet operation at home to flexible mobility support during daily activities, each product is intended to integrate naturally into the user’s routine.

For some, this means maintaining comfort during long periods at home. For others, it means having the confidence to step outside, visit family, or complete daily errands without added complexity. In both cases, ease of use and reliability remain central to the experience.

A Mid-Year Moment for a Better Daily Routine

Mid-year is often a natural checkpoint. It is a time when many people reflect on the first half of the year and make thoughtful adjustments for the months ahead. For users of oxygen concentrators, this can mean upgrading equipment, improving comfort, or simply exploring more flexible options that better match current needs.

Rather than treating it as a single purchase moment, the Comfort Upgrade Season is positioned as a lifestyle opportunity—an invitation to improve everyday comfort with added value and carefully selected options.

Explore the Comfort Upgrade Season

The Mid-Year Comfort Upgrade Season is available for a limited time only. Explore selected oxygen concentrators, discover special bundle options, and enjoy exclusive seasonal savings designed to support everyday comfort, mobility, and independence.

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.
