Bio
As our Lead Talent Partner, Sara boasts an impressive 20 years of recruitment experience after being encouraged to take a leap of faith into a new industry by our Founder and CEO, Jarrad. Lucky for us, she liked it! Around the office, Sara goes by the nickname “Sos”, a playful fusion of her maiden name, Gossage, and the word “sausage”. Buuut if you want the full story on that one, you’ll need to ask Sara herself!
With a positive and optimistic outlook, Sara is a glass-half-full kind of person and a social butterfly who thrives behind the scenes, rather than in the limelight. She specialises in Marketing, Product, Data, and Customer Success, serving as a passionate advocate for candidates in the digital space.
Transparency and authenticity are at the core of Sara’s approach, ensuring that both job seekers and employers have a truly memorable recruitment experience. When she’s not meticulously guiding job seekers through every step of the process with care and kindness, Sara cherishes quality time with her family. You might find her camping, playing at the park with her three young kiddos, or indulging in her guilty pleasures—chocolate and wine. Oh, and don’t be surprised if you catch her secretly enjoying tacky Christmas rom-coms on a random April afternoon!
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.
