candidate care

Prior to being in the business of connecting top talent with progressive organisations, we never forget or take for granted the personal experiences we have had as candidates in the market place.  To this end, we make sure that each candidate who applies to any client opportunity that we represent, is treated in line with our values, particularly those of respect and empathy.  As an extension of your brand in the market place, it is so important to us that the candidate experience, irrespective of the outcome, is curated with this in mind.  For this reason, we have invested in candidate automation tools to support our team in managing the end to end candidate experience process. 


Our commitment to candidate care is that we will communicate to all candidate applications with a written or verbal response, irrespective of the outcome. Where possible, we will also leverage our relationships with industry partners to extend further support to those candidates who seek feedback on ways to improve their approach to securing their next job opportunity. 

affordability

The average cost of recruiting a new employee in Australia is around $20,000, according to the 2024 HR Industry Benchmark.  This can include a combination of advertising fees, agency fees, training, onboarding, equipment and induction expenses. These costs can vary depending on your method of hiring, the industry, and the level of experience you seek.


Given this information, it's no surprise that organisations are looking for ways to reduce this cost.  We stay away from the 'one-size-fits-all' fee structure because we understand that every business has its own set of unique benefits and challenges. We also don't subscribe to increasing fees in line with role seniority; this counter-intuitive and dated approach to recruitment increases your costs and makes the option of outsourcing recruitment less affordable and sustainable in the long run. 


What we've done is created several recruitment options as well as a customisable replacement framework that protects your investment.  Given potential budget restraints this year on recruitment spend, and the need for high productivity versus a slowing economy, it makes commercial sense to invest your time and money on recruitment support that balances expertise and quality outcomes with affordability. 

attracting best-fit talent

Did you know an unsuccessful hire can cost up to 30% of the employee’s wages for the first year, which is why most hiring managers are looking at proactive ways to reduce the risk of this happening. What we've done is create a recruitment governance framework that serves to align candidates unique capabilities and values-set with your key selection criteria.

Our governance model provides you with the confidence and knowledge that before candidates are shortlisted for interview, they have been through a thorough vetting process that ensures that they have the required skills, experience and qualifications to perform the role.

competition for talent

In 2024, Australia's unemployment rate continues to hover around 4%, the lowest rate in almost 40 years. This has made the task of finding and competing for talent even more difficult than normal.


Now more than ever, leaders need to be open to ways that their organisations can either groom and promote, or attract and recruit staff beyond traditional or transactional recruitment methods.  What we do is offer benchmarking and headhunting recruitment services to overcome the shortage of talent in the marketplace.


Our benchmarking service supports your businesses decision to groom and promote staff from within the business by benchmarking them against external talent through a competitive recruitment process. 


Our headhunting service requires patience, sensitivity and experience to navigate through what can be a longer and more complex recruitment process.  The results however, will yield a greater return on your investment over the longer term.

time to fill

According to the 2024 HR Industry Benchmark Survey, the average time to fill a vacant position in Australia is 18 days.  Although this is a marked improvement on the previous year, the flow-on effect for employers is the loss of productivity, impact on morale and increased commercial risk when a role is vacant. These are additional costs and risk that the business must absorb.


Therefore, it's not surprising to learn that the urgency to recruit people is now one of the three top reasons why companies are outsourcing their recruitment.  To combat this problem, we've built a secure and robust database of qualified candidates who are open to exploring opportunities with progressive organisations. 


The competitive advantage that our agency is defined upon relates heavily to the significant network of industry professionals who connect and engage with us on a regular basis.  Our database which has been meticulously engineered based on our time in market, allows us to swiftly and accurately source top talent that is relevant to your vacancy and takes into account industry, sector, functional role capability, skillset and qualification. These data inputs is what affords you a significant reduction in your time to fill.
