Our Professional Recruitment Approach
 | We Take The Time To Understand Your NeedsEvery project starts with a detailed briefing discussion with your team to build a 360-degree view of the role and identify the qualities of the person you are looking for. Using this information, we bring our knowledge, insight and experience to source, evaluate and recommend suitable candidates. |  | Content Marketing Recruitment CampaignOur marketing team will design a tailored candidate information pack to highlight the opportunities and challenges of the role, benefits of working with your organisation and profile the local region. We will deliver a content marketing recruitment campaign, to maximise potential candidates, across our social media platforms, website, database, networks and referrals. |
 | Multi-Channel Sourcing StrategyIn the sourcing-and-securing phase of the project, our multi-channel sourcing strategy reaches passive and active candidates through job boards, digital media channels and industry websites. We also have a dedicated search team who proactively source candidates statewide as well as those who live inter-state and abroad. |  | Mitigating Risk When HiringWe have created a rigorous recruitment platform to mitigate risk when making hiring decisions. Our industry expertise, combined with a structured project management approach and robust verification tools, develops a clear picture of the candidate’s fit for the role, their capabilities and suitability for the position. |
