This week we have an extraordinary guest for you. With 30 years’ experience in marketing and a decade in recruitment for the Australian Defence Force, Pat Duffy is no stranger to the ins-and-outs of adapting and embracing change.

Starting her career at Defence Jobs in the late 2000s while the internet was on the verge of becoming the beast of a machine it is today, Pat has been at the forefront of innovating recruitment practices and efficiently making the most of the resources available.

While technology advanced and connecting with people has become a whole lot easier, Defence recruiting had to adjust its approach. With the use things such as social media, AI and storytelling Pat was able to keep her team up to date and move defence recruitment into the 21st century.

We are excited to announce Pat is the newest member of the contentgroup team; we couldn't be more excited.
