Bio
Briony, or Bri (pronounced br-eye) for short, has been instrumental in shaping and evolving the brand identity of affix from day 1. With her decade-long experience in tech recruitment and her passion for design and photography, Briony takes inspiration from various industries to create engaging designs and visual concepts that resonate with our audience. Most often you’ll spot Briony behind the camera snapping team and event photos, in Canva whipping up a new design that came to her during her barre class, or creating opportunities for connection among the team as we eat one of her many famous cake recipes.
The other part of Briony’s role is as a Talent Partner, where she drives end-to-end talent acquisition strategies and builds relationships with our clients & candidates. Briony works mainly across software engineering roles and believes recruitment should (and can) be a positive, empowering experience for everyone. Day-to-day this involves client briefings, employer branding initiatives, candidate research and market mapping, building talent communities, stakeholder engagement and account management, candidate coaching, consulting, scaling recruitment processes and practices… and more.
When she’s not busy driving her three boys around, Briony can be found scrolling design interiors or with her nose in her iPhone creating a new playlist. She’s a stickler for details. One of our favourite things about Briony? Her big heart and kind, caring nature guarantees Briony will always be there to check in on how you’re doing… and even ask you about your twice-removed cousin who just had a baby.
Not only did affix go out of their way to understand our engineering and company culture – they became a part of it.
It’s hard to imagine us reaching the growth and diversity outcomes that we did without affix’s willingness and ability to be agile, creative, and to learn with us along the way.

affix will find you the right person. We chose to partner with them due to their specialisation in the digital space. Their services came highly recommended.
affix made me feel listened to. They respected my time and understood my desire to find the right culture fit; which can be hard to do, on top of the specialised skills we’re seeking.
Richenda Vermeulen
Ntergrity, Founder + CEO
Working with affix has been a great experience! They truly got to know our company and culture, and took the time to really understand the requirements, resulting in a great pipeline of talent.
I would recommend affix because, more than any other agency I’ve worked with, they genuinely feel like part of your team.
Bee Hepburn
Roller, Chief People Officer
If you’re considering working with affix, do it. We’re not a tech business, so we would not have been able to attract top talent in this field without affix’s help.
affix really wanted to understand our team culture, which gave me confidence they would help us to find a great fit. They helped shape and define the new role, and came to the table with loads of ideas and suggestions!
Elizabeth Howells
The Commons, COO
We’ve worked with affix for more than 7 years, and it now feels like we are all family. affix recruited talent across our whole tech team and they are performing brilliantly!
affix have never let us down. They’ve always found us great people and their startup-friendly cost structure has allowed us to concentrate on running our business, ultimately helping Fillr to flourish.
Chad Stephens
Fillr, Co-Founder
I would definitely work with affix again.
They appointed me and helped us recruit critical leaders within our business.
Blake Hutchison
Flippa, CEO
affix have always felt like an extension of our own business and have always provided great results. They really get to know your business and people needs.
When you team up with affix, you get a strong partnership connecting you to talent that’s a great cultural and technical fit. This leads to better results when building teams.
