An independent profile · Australia
In a niche this tight, 15 years means Greg knows everyone.
Greg Thorpe runs Talent Flow — Australia's specialist ServiceNow recruiter. This site is the independent introduction: his insights, the live roles he's working, and how to start a conversation that isn't a sales pitch.
The Profile
The recruiter people actually recommend.
ServiceNow in Australia is a small, tight niche. Solely operating inside it for 15 years puts Greg Thorpe in a rare category — the "knows everyone" category. The architects, the practice leads, the partner CEOs, the people who left and came back. He's placed them, coached them, or shared a beer with them.
He's been doing it through Talent Flow since the early days of the platform's Australian footprint. Long enough to have placed people twice, watched juniors become practice leads, and earned the kind of network that doesn't show up in a LinkedIn search.
Talent Flow is his business. This page isn't — it's an independent profile so you can read about Greg without him having to write it himself.
How Greg Engages
Three questions. That's the whole sales pitch.
Tell me what you actually want from the next role — or the next hire. Not the polished version.
If the right opportunity landed tomorrow, would you take the call? No commitment beyond that.
When something fits, we have a proper conversation. No spray-and-pray. No CV dumps.
Greg's approach is simple and effective: know one another. No long industry lectures, no chest-beating. He asks for what you want and helps you feel comfortable admitting it. That's how good placements actually happen.

Greg's most-shared insight
The 5 ServiceNow roles every org needs — and why missing one shows.
A preview of Greg's most-circulated LinkedIn piece. Most ServiceNow teams — established or starting out — are still missing one or two critical roles. Projects miss deadlines, the backlog never moves, every upgrade feels like a fire drill, delivery stalls even with approved budgets.

Greg backs the people most recruiters skip.
Greg is openly a second-chance employer. He believes people pushed out of tech by a setback — illness, redundancy, a conviction, burnout — are often the most loyal, focused, and capable hires you'll make.
He puts that into practice through a partnership with The Green Collar — Stu Holmes' social-enterprise. The Green Collar isn't Greg's business; the partnership simply lines up with the way Greg already hires.
"If you only hire the obvious candidates, you'll only build obvious teams."— Greg Thorpe
