Careers at Aquent

Aquent Benefits

When you join our Aquent team, you will feel a sense of belonging and support like no other. We live and breathe our values each and every day: We before me; Keep growing; Own it; and Make it matter. We actively promote a strong work-life balance — encouraging flexible, hybrid work practices and offering a host of benefits including:

• Unlimited Paid Time Off
  At Aquent, we really mean work life balance and taking the time to do the things you love is high on our list of priorities! Each person has their own personal life journey and we aim to match that with the most valuable asset TIME. This means that every employee is able to take additional paid time off, beyond the statutory annual leave. Please chat with HR for more info.
• A-Leave
  We've seen the personal and work benefits of taking extra annual leave. This additional leave known as A-Leave means our team can enjoy 5 additional leave days each December to unwind and enjoy the festive season. Please chat with HR for more info.
• Parental Leave
  Aquent believes that family time is very important and offers all our new parents an additional 4 weeks of paid time off when having a new bub in the house. Please speak to HR for more details.
• Employee Learning Fund
  Aquent recognises that continuous learning is an asset to our employees and the company. For this reason, Aquent has established LifeLong Learning (L3) to promote learning. The Employee Learning Fund (ELF) may be used for seminars, courses, degrees and certificate programs. The value of this fund is $8,000 per annum.
• ‘Make It Matter' Days
  Every employee is given the opportunity to spend five weekdays giving back to a charity of their choice, this could be any volunteer opportunity within Australia.
• Employee Assisted Programme (EAP)
  This 24/7 free and confidential service offers you and your loved ones support with any work or personal issues, including short-term (up to 6 sessions) one-on-one professional counselling as well as connecting you to local resources to help you manage emotional, practical or physical needs.
• Flexible Work Practice
  Aquent places a high value on offering true flexible, hybrid and remote work options that allow you to balance work, lifestyle and/or family responsibility. Remote working, flexible hours, job sharing and part-time work are benefits available to all our employees.
• Work Tech Cheque
  Aquent assists their employees working remotely by giving each individual a small monthly work allowance. This financial support can help towards internet, telephone and any other additional costs associated with working in a remote environment.
• WeWork Workspace
  All Aquent employees are provided with a WeWork licence. This enables staff to enjoy a safe, communal workplace with the opportunity to host meetings, access internet/wifi and printing should they require it. Some teams may choose the option to work within the WeWork environment on a more regular basis.
• Healthy Wealthy And Wise
  This programme encourages our employees to have a more balanced lifestyle. The programme is run every couple of months and includes topics such as learning financial skills, goal setting, meditation, nutrition, mindfulness, dealing with anxiety and worry, flu vacs, skin cancer checks, massages and a whole host of other well-being seminars etc.
• Aquent Elite
  This is a club to recognise Aquent's top Agent and Account Director Performers. The recognition is enduring and rewarded with an overseas trip or a gift.
• Aquent Value Awards
  Our Values Awards are an awesome way Aquent recognises employees who demonstrate living and breathing our values. This can be through extraordinary actions and behaviours that embody and “live” our values. Annually our Value Champions and our Value Champion of Champions are recognised.
• Birthday Day Off
  As a way of wishing you a happy birthday, Aquent gives you the choice of a day off to celebrate your special day.
• Career And Promotions
  As “people make a difference,” we look at all hires as being part of Aquent's future. Aquent looks to promote internally before hiring externally. This can be seen from the multiple promotions and transfers within our business.
• End-of-Quarter Celebrations
  ‘End-of-quarters' are a time to celebrate and reflect on the past three months. The team usually comes together for a drink, a dinner and sometimes a fun event. In the past, we have enjoyed cooking, painting, Holey Moley and even building prosthetic hands for recipients in third-world countries.
• Get-Togethers In Melbourne And Sydney
  Each year, the Sydney and Melbourne teams come together in each location to build on their relationships, and teamwork and have some face-to-face interaction, but mostly lots of fun.
• Holiday Beach Houses
  Two Aquent houses are available for holiday use for you and your friends or family. These holiday houses are situated in Florida and Hawaii and are self-accommodating with all the modern features. Each year a request form is sent out to the whole business and you can request dates that work for you through a lottery system.
• Internal Training 
  Aquent has a commitment to the ongoing training and induction of all employees. Up-skilling and ongoing training are part of the company's DNA. We run a programme called Digibytes which is a subject matter training programme. This delivers knowledge, insights and trends into the areas we recruit.  Our Skilled Academy programme is our recruitment skills development area.  Together with our internal learning platform, Aquent Learn, we are able to support the growth of recruitment skills. From time to time, external trainers are brought in to continually add value. 
  
  Aquent also has its own online learning website called Aquent Gymnasium, offering free online courses on design, development, UX and accessibility externally and internally.
• Recruitment Finders Fee
  We love referrals! Any Aquent employee that refers a person to work at Aquent who is then employed by us will be eligible for a referral fee. This would be $1000 on commencement of employment and $1000 on passing their probation.
• Work Anniversary
  Acknowledging and rewarding all our employees is very important to us. On your anniversary you will be rewarded with a special gift from Aquent in appreciation for your loyalty and hard work.
• Workplace Giving Programme
  Aquent has partnered with Beyond Blue as our charity to support and encourage our employees to give a pre-tax donation through their fortnightly salary. Aquent matches all donations.
