Looking for Talent?

Top leaders, handpicked for you

I work with some of Melbourne’s top consumer brands to find standout product, marketing and sales leaders—often before they’re even looking. By keeping things personal and working with fewer clients, I focus on lasting placements, not quick hires.

Every match I make comes from real relationships, not just a database.

Looking for Work?

Skip the job board lottery

Switching jobs is a major life decision, and I get it. I’ll focus on what truly matters to you—beyond pay and titles. Most roles I place aren’t advertised; they come through my personal connections with some of Melbourne’s top consumer brands.

I’ll give you the full picture—culture, growth potential, and honest insights—so you’re set up for success.

Let’s find your perfect fit.

That’s what it’s all about—helping great people and great businesses thrive. Whether you’re scaling your team or planning your next career step, I’m here to make sure it’s the right fit. Here are just a few roles I specialise in:

Better outcomes built on genuine connections

Whether you're building your dream team or taking your next career step.

While most agencies focus on quick placements and KPIs, I focus on building genuine connections that last.

I genuinely care, so I'll tell you straight

Let’s cut the fluff. If your resume’s missing something, or the job’s not what you think, I’ll tell you.

If it's not right, I'll tell you

I won’t sell you on something that won’t work. Honestly, I’d rather walk away than waste time (yours or mine).

You work with me, start to finish

From that first coffee to well beyond the hire, it’s just you and me. No juniors, no generic emails, no ghosting.

My experience and network

I’ve spent over 20 years in recruitment and 12+ years specifically in product, sales and marketing.

Hi, I'm Lauren Mitchell

Welcome to Bloom Careers

Stuck at home during COVID, I helped place someone in a role that completely changed their career. That’s when it clicked—recruitment could be straight-talking, flexible, and fluff-free. And so, Bloom Careers was born.

 

I’m all about finding jobs that go beyond just paying the bills—they need to mean something. Like seeing a Product Manager’s idea hit store shelves or sneaking fairy bread into a client gift (in joke!).

 

Most of my clients feel like old mates. We chat openly, share a laugh, and skip the stiff, corporate vibe. I’ve got a knack for matching people with teams where they actually fit, and the proofs in the results.

 

When I’m not helping people find their next big job, I’m likely on the sidelines of my kids sports, probably cheering louder than I should!.

Find out why Bloom Careers connections stick.

Let's Connect

Whether you’re hiring, considering what’s next in your career, or just curious about Melbourne’s job market, I’d love to connect.

I partner with consumer brands across Melbourne. Most roles I fill range from $90K to $300K+, but honestly? It’s never just about the numbers.
