Employers looking for staff and frustrated with the process? Regardless of your industry or role, finding great staff is the key to building your business and your profit potential. The real challenge in Regional NSW is attracting and retaining great staff. Certainly in areas such as Port Macquarie with limited tertiary education facilities, many of our Gen X & Y’s are leaving for the larger cities where their career opportunities may increase. Many of these young people, find that in small towns, jobs have limited career progression, so unless they are prepared to “settle” for less salary and less diversity and progression, there is little to no career development opportunities. There will be other potential applicants who come with a wealth of experiences and it is up to you to see if these skills and experiences will transfer to the position you want filled.

If you are currently seeking staff, here is a quick checklist of must do’s

• make sure you really need the role filled (some roles can merge or perhaps dont require replacement)
• conduct a thorough job analysis
• prepare a clear, simple job description
• ensure you have the salary sorted prior to recruitment
• decide if you will recruit yourself, or if you need to contact an agency
• have a good idea when you want the person to commence
• prepare a good orientation or induction plan
• provide a training plan that includes some mentoring, particularly in the first 3 months (or probationary period)

Once you have this new recruit, there are thousands of ways to retain and reward… many of which are FREE!

The post Seeking staff for jobs in Regional NSW? appeared first on Eather Recruitment.

Sick and tired of rejection? Are you fatigued with applying for jobs and either never hearing back from the employer, and/or receive an unsuccessful letter? What innovative and creative thinking do we need to have to ensure we are realistic about the job market?  When living in a regional area, jobs are not only scarce, they are often Linear and let’s be honest, often way below our pay grade!

Not only do we have to innovative about HOW we seek work – we have to re-think what work we can adapt to and sometimes even create our own employment. I don’t mean create your own small business, and work for yourself, although this is an option. I mean increase your marketability and suitability withinthe job market. The Metro areas have a number of positions available that specialise in various roles.  However, in Regional areas, many workers have to wear several hats and be flexible in their approach to work.

Here are just some key points for job success…

1)  Define your assets – take a  stock take of your skills and i.

2) Good Advice – seek mentors and people who are qualified in this area

3) Take car of your self – remain fit and healthy

4) Develop your network – use LinkedIn and social media to increase your networks and promote your skills

5) Surround yourself with supportive people – keep away from negative influences and spend time with those who encourage and support you

In summary,  if you approach job seeking the way you always do, you will end up with similar results. Think about ways that you can enter the job market that increases your chances of success. Read and research furiously and most of all, be persistent and patient.

The post Innovation the key to gaining a job you love appeared first on Eather Recruitment.

As Christmas hits and the end of the year draws to a close, it’s a good time to reflect on our good fortune. Often we are too busy concentrating on what we don’t have, that we miss the wonders of what is right in front of us. Yes, there are numerous people working in jobs that are not fullfilling and barely sustaining them a living.  In this blog, I’m focussing on those of us who have work that does utilise our skills, stimulates, and provides for our family. Even if the work is not within our “dream job” category, we need to be thankful that it this economic environment and at this time of year, we can enjoy the bounties at Christmas.

At Eather Recruitment and Labour Hire we are often hear from job seekers who are desperate for work, any work… and in a Regional Town, finding work is a real challenge. We all need to take stock and thank the universe for the jobs we do have, regardless of what they are.

Australia is the envy of many countries, we are relatively wealthy, and ecomonically stable. Good fortune does not have to be 100% financial! A good friend of mine who recently suffered massive brain injuries and is on a very slow road to recovery remarked ” this misfortune has highlighted that there is a very fine line between being here on earth and not being here….”

Value the wonders of your life, the beauty that surrounds you, nature’s bounty , as stunning sunset, and the fact that work, whatever it is, is a highly prized possession!

The post Value the Job you have, and the work that sustains appeared first on Eather Recruitment.

I’m sure you have all heard the saying “if you want to work, then there’s work out there for you“?  Do you agree with this statement? I think it’s easier said than done!… easy to say, but a little more complexity than just being determined! Finding a job requires skills as well as determination! It requires an updated,  relevant resume along with specific marketing and promotional ability.

Each day we receive calls from job seekers who tell us that they will” do anything” and yet when an “anything” job presents, they often have an excuse as to why they can not perform that role.  The most important thing is to be 100% sure of what you can do and what you are “willing” to do, for example, I can clean homes, but I don’t want to do this for a living – unless I’m homeless and desperate that is…and then who will employ me based on my desperation and not my skills-set and experience? tough call!

Our advice is firstly, to seek advice! consult with the recruitment professionals and with potential employers. Ask them what jobs are in demand, in fact, ask a lot of questions… and don’t forget to ask yourself this dream question ” If you could have any job you wanted, and there were no barriers, what would that job look and feel like”

Your response will be an indication of what you really want.. and then you can set a plan and goals to achieve this! Life and work is not meant to be a prison…

Would you host an event like a wedding or dinner party, without first considering the following?

1. Careful selection of the guests to be invited
2. Thoughtful invitations that outline the 5 masters – what/when/where/who and how
3. Start and end times and some basic safety and comfort information
4. Facilitate a warm welcome and introduce them to other guests and VIP’s
5. Check on your guests through the party and then regularly follow up
6. Evaluation of value for expenditure

So why do so many organisations not plan and implement a simple induction process that can forge a positive and lasting impression of them and their company?  We spend valuable time and money sourcing and selecting new recruits and then often forget to organise a proper orientation for them to our business. The test of a great company is the way it treats its new employees! Just like organising an event where you would like your guests to feel welcomed and embraced, we need to consider how outsiders can be inducted more effectively. I’m sure some of us have experienced the “baptism of fire” induction that left us scarred and marred for life!

Need help organising and structuring a simple and effective  induction program? Give Eather Recruitment a call!

Wanting to relocate to a peaceful, yet progressive Regional town? Sick of the city life and keen to change your lifestyle?

Moving to a Regional town can be the best decision of your life.. or it can be the most challenging! Here are a few reasons:

• Job Vacancies are rarely as prolific as in the Metro areas
• There is a shortage of “large” corporate organisations – most if they have a pressence , have their head offices in the Metro areas
• SME (Small Medium Enterprises) can make up the majority of employers
• Casualisation of the workforce and seasonal tourist work is quite predominant
• Salary levels are lower that in the Metro

How do you overcome these challenges? Here are 4 HOT tips to help you transition..

1) Research the job market – get a solid idea of the types of jobs that are in demand

2) Talk with Recruitment Agencies and local Realtors about work opportunities

3) DONT move without conducting a thorough study – dont be fooled into thinking that once you get to your deam town, you will find work much more quickly,  Studies have shown that on average it takes approximately 18 months!

4) Ensure your Financial resources will be able to recover with a lower salary level

In summary, acquire the job BEFORE you move.  That way, you can sus the place out thoroughly, and ensure that when you do want to settle for good, you are very familiar with the best areas to live.

Wishing you all the success!![author] [author_image timthumb=’on’]http://eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ivana-permanent-and-temporary-staff-solutions.jpg[/author_image] [author_info]Content goes here[/author_info] [/author]
