Everyone has networks, but not everyone has networking in their job marketing plan. This is a well-proven strategy to assist job seekers source work.

So many jobs are found through word of mouth and many say “it’s who you know”.  Who do you know in your networks that are in positions of power or even people who know other influential people?  Are you maintaining contact with your networks? Do they know you are seeking work?

Don’t forget that small business is a BIG employer and many don’t have very sophisticated recruitment processes, even though they have very profitable businesses. Sometimes they may ask  current employees to refer “someone they know” for one or more of their vacant positions. If you have not connected with your circle, how will they know to mention your name?

In this Blog I am only discussing the face to face encounter. Social Media is a whole other chapter! However, it is vital that all your marketing is congruent, ie. your image on FB should reflect your professionalism too!

In summary, use each  encounter/ event/seminar/introduction to showcase your professionalism, your commitment to your industry of choice, your positive personality and most of all your advanced communication skills. When “working a room” – (more on this great tactic in another blog- shish so many interesting angles  to this topic!) make sure you ask questions and don’t monopolise a conversation – yep.. it’s 10% talk and 90% listen rule that applies at business and social functions. Keep your business card handy and collect ones from others. Follow up with a nice to meet you email. You want to be remembered and remembered for all the great things!

Just like meeting the Fockers for the first time – every meeting is a chance to impress!

Time to stop, think, re-group, take stock AND start again with a even  better resume!

Often, our jobs are much more than just the way we make a living. They influence how we see ourselves, as well as the way others see us. Our jobs give us structure, purpose, and meaning. So how will you cope when you are no longer working?

The good news is that despite the stress, there are many things you can do to take control of a future situation and maintain your spirits. You can get through this tough time by taking care of yourself, reaching out to others, and taking the opportunity to rethink your career goals and rediscover what truly makes you happy.

Remember that the vast majority of job openings are never advertised; they’re filled by word of mouth. That’s why networking is the best way to find a job. Unfortunately, many are hesitant to take advantage of networking because they’re afraid of being seen as pushy, annoying, or self-serving. But networking isn’t about using other people or aggressively promoting yourself—it’s about building relationships. As you look for a new job, these relationships can provide much-needed feedback, advice, and support

Other proactive strategies are:

• Complete and update a new resume
• Tailor resume for each job application
• Keep eye on job market trends
• Search for jobs each day using a variety of methods
• Stay positive

The post Getting ready for job loss – are you facing redundancy; resignation or seeing the writing on the wall? appeared first on Eather Recruitment.

“Thank you for your application, unfortunately in this instance you have been unsuccessful” Wondering why you keep receiving the same notice???  The following may help.

Recruitment agencies tend to have a terrible reputation with job seekers. We are not saying that in some cases we don’t deserve a bit of angst from our candidates as sometimes it is easy to forget how much time and hard work a candidate has put into their application. But recruitment is a hard job. The candidate might be extremely good at the role, but unfortunately it does not mean they are always the right fit for job.

Most of the time, it is not about the candidate but the client.  There are applicants out there who are clearly not right for a client, but there are just as many clients who are just not the right fit for the candidate. For example, let’s say you hate being micro-managed and the idea of working for a manager who routinely calls his staff “the girls” makes you cringe.  Well, those managers are out there, and sometimes they work for the company that on paper looks ideal for you.  If we ignored his management style and encouraged you to take the role, what would happen?  You got it – you would be running as fast as you could before the trial period was up. Sometimes, it IS about the candidate.  We want to put the best person forward to the client.  It’s in our best interest to do so! And the best person is not going be someone who:

• Fails to turn up or is late for an interview without a reasonable explanation.
• Attends an interview dressed inappropriately – if a candidate wants to work in a corporate environment then demonstrating they can dress professionally from the very first interview with their consultant is a must.
• Talks badly of their current or previous employer – This is very unprofessional
• Is dismissive or aggressive with their consultant – we are going to look at that behaviour and ask ourselves how we can present this candidate to a client at all.
• Doesn’t understand the role they are applying for.  There are lot of candidates who don’t appear to have read the advertisement before they apply.  They see the Title and Location and neglect to read the finer details of what is expected in the role. I.E 3+years’ experience in MYOB software … but they have never used the program.

Many times candidates are unsuccessful because the client is not the right fit for them, sometimes they won’t get the job because they did not present themselves appropriately to the recruiter.  And sometimes – the recruiter is totally wrong in their decision…but not as often as people think.

The post Unsuccessful again? appeared first on Eather Recruitment.

Are you in recruitment mode and seeking workers for your business?   Here are 5 easy tips that may help attract, recruit, and maintain happy workers………….

Market and promote a strong brand image

Good marketing not only applies to attracting clients. Applicants want to work for “employers of choice”. Ensure you project the most professional image you can in all your media choices,  like websites, social media and events.

Create a warm and positive work culture

If you maintain a good work environment and you won’t have to look hard for new team members.  No one will want to leave! Developing a reputation as a great employer helps position you as the ideal workplace. Companies known as quality work places often spend less money and time on recruiting because people are waiting or vacant positions there. Word of mouth works really well as your team talk to peers in other workplaces about what a great boss you are and what a great place they work for!

Demonstrate community engagement

Get involved in your community. Sponsor and participate in events that get you out into the public and in front of prospective employees. Take on some public speaking engagements that present you as an expert and leader in your field. Start a blog and include comments about why your firm has the best people and show you really are proud of them.  Your reputation will spread and your current employees will love you even more.

Utilise Employment and Recruitment Agencies

Professional recruiters know just what to look for when sourcing the right staff for you. If you are a small to medium firm, a good recruiter can attract and place candidates who might not normally consider your firm. For larger firms, recruitment agencies can often be the most cost effective way to find the ideal fit. As we all know, an unhappy misfit can destroy the culture of a business very quickly. Just one bad apple…….

Reward referrals

Use networks to help find new staff. If one of your contacts refers a candidate to you, some of  the work is done as the candidate already has been provided a positive impression of you. You may like to offer rewards to current staff for high quality referrals. In most cases, your staff will only recommend other people if they think they will fit-in and add value to the company.

If you would like some advice on how to find and keep the best staff for your business, why not call us for an obligation free chat. We’d love to help!

Whether you are a seasoned holiday maker who travels extensively, or someone who stays closer to home, we all get opportunities to witness a sneak peak into other lives; towns or people working in their own environments. Observing others, is more than just looking… it’s a valuable exercise – Just like reading a good book, travel should make you think; ponder; doubt; analyse… it should leave you with valuable memories that you can recall and use for your future. Yes, travel does expand the mind, but only if you let it!

Many travelers fast track visiting great, new  locations, with their “tick” list,  and run to the nearest tourist sites one after another, without really stopping and fully experiencing the culture and the people of that area.

One of the main benefits of travel is relating to others and using empathy and understanding. Tolerance and acceptance of other cultures and lifestyles. Understanding the “big picture” of why certain things are done, as well as appreciating the day to day routine and traditions.

What a wonderful divers world we live in. It teaches us that we can all live in harmony, if only we took the time to understand first!

Want to develop your interpersonal & communication skills? Want to increase your confidence? Want to engage in meaningful conversations and remain curious? These are mandatory core competencies in any job role… and what a great way to enhance your existing skills by travelling in our wonderful world!

Is there a difference between a Metro and multi national recruiter and a Regionally based one?

Yes, there is. As a  regionally based recruiter, and not metro-based or Sydney-centric means that we do not have the metro-mind set. What does that mean for you?  It means we possess strong country values, built on trust, respect and honesty – we are bound to meet you down the street, we live and work in the same town. We know what it is like to do business in this region and  it means we appreciate your business and want to remain of value to you for the long term, not just for the duration of the contract!

We are personally connected to many people within and throughout several communities. The 6% of separation is really only 2% – the people we meet at the supermarket and after work, or the people whose children attend the same schools, These are the same people we want to have in our lives.

We value our reputation and by performing at a consistent high levels, we can proudly add-value to our communities.

You may have said “Good staff are hard to find” or heard others say it…

Often employers ask us “Why is the person I interviewed and selected to join my organisation,  turn out to be different at the end of 3 month’s probation?”

For the purposes of this blog, let’s fast-track to the interview process as this is usually where the final selection is made.  (I will post more information on resume confirmation and referee checks at a later stage)

There are 5 simple MUST DO for a selection  interview

1) Listen 80% and talk 20% of the time!

2) Be 100% there and have absolutely NO distractions or interruptions

3) Ask high order questions – treat Google as your friend…. search for the 10 best interview questions and you will be surprised what appears. Select ones that suit you and your business/role

4) Intuition counts! listen, feel and observe… any red flags, that is, concerns, doubts or queries… then ask more questions, for example, if applicant responded to “why do you want to work for us?” with … “it’s so handy to my home” – follow up immediately with another probing question “Is being handy to home a priority for you?”

5) Have another observer at the interview.  They can help you by gauging reactions and providing a second opinion.

Finally, dont forget your own experiences at job interviews, most applicants are nervous.  However, there are some applicants we call  “serial interviewees” who can act slick and polished and provide all the classic responses… watch out for the “charm” factor!

So you dont want to  raise the anxiety levels for your potential employee, you will get to know them better if you are more relaxed in style, but still manage to ask the right questions and make better, more informed decisions.  Only then will you hear happy customers ask you ” How did you find such good staff?”

What to consider before hiring a new recruit.

Recruiting for new staff can be a nightmare.  It is always recommended that when seeking staff, you consider the following first:

1) do you really need this position filled?

2) Has a job analysis been conducted?

3) will it be full time or part time – how many hours per week?

4) what are the roles and responsibilities? are there expected outcomes?

5) budget for salary considerations?

6) what characteristics and personality are you seeking?

7) How and who will supervise this person?

These are just a few considerations prior to recruiting for staff. Once you are 100% sure that you still need staff, please contact us for more free advice!

Handshakes are the predominant, acceptable physical contact within business and within our culture.

    They are the universally accepted business greeting. Hugs & kisses are taboo unless you are in Italy and even there, you have protocols!

• You are judged by the quality of the handshake, you will be judged on: level of confidence; power; friendliness and assertion to mention a few

so what makes a good hand shake?

• 1. A good handshake:
     • keep the fingers together with the thumb up and open
     • slide your hand into the other person’s so that each person’s web of skin between thumb and forefingers touches the other’s
     • squeeze firmly
  2. A proper handshake:
     • is firm, but not bone-crushing
     • lasts about 3 seconds
     • may be “pumped” once or twice from the elbow
     • is released after the shake, even if the introduction continues
     • includes good eye contact with the other person
  3. Extend a hand when:
     • meeting someone for the first time
     • meeting someone you haven’t seen for a while
     • greeting your host(ess)
     • greeting guests
     • saying good-bye to people at a gathering
     • someone else extends a hand
  4. Handshaking Tips:
     • if your hands tend to be clammy, spray them with antiperspirant at least once a day.
     • avoid giving a cold, wet handshake by keeping your drink in the left hand
     • dont just offer the tips of your fingers!

• You meet someone for the first time and your conversation starts to sound awkwardly like an interview!
• You start building a case for why your family and friends are perfect for that vacancy you can’t find anyone for.
• You answer calls from friends with your name and ‘How can I help you?’
• You cannot go anywhere without your mobile phone.
• You mix with other recruiters, all of whom are speaking at the same time.
• You walk down the street and you are sure you have interviewed at least every third person.
• You can list the HR manager of any company you know.
• You drive down a highway and see a billboard and start to think about who you know at that company.
• You meet someone in a bar and the conversation seems too much like a client visit. (You are thinking, ‘Is this a temp or permanent assignment?!’)
• ‘Touching someone’s base’ means you are networking.
• You can get someone off the phone – whether it’s a friend, family, client or candidate – in two swift sentences and not offend anyone.
• You have read this and think it’s a bit naff.

Recruitment for a job vacancy is more than just skill-matching

Selecting the right person, means less work and angst later on in the employment phase, it means taking the time to carefully source the best candidates.

We receive daily calls from employers seeking skilled and work-ready candidates, often the request goes something like this,  ” Could you check on your books for a good….. and get back to us?”.

Yes, we can check our data base against any employer’s criteria and we do this often, however permanent placement is more than finding a basic skills match!

We wish recruitment was that easy, and through many years of employment recruitment experience, we believe that is not what  an excellent Recruitment service is all about.

Quality recruits means quality sourcing, screening and selection.

It means that the following steps must be followed

• Gathering information along with a comprehensive briefing from the employer on the role, responsibilities and rate of pay
• Meeting and forming a long lasting relationship with the employer and potential employee
• Consulting and advising on IR, HR and salary benchmarks
• Advertising and promoting the role to source the best candidates
• Sourcing and screening appropriate candidates
• Setting deadlines and touch points for the final selection
• Organising final interviews
• Obtaining reference checks and resume authenticity
• Remaining and maintaining contact with both parties post commencement

Temporary labour hire contractors

Labour Hire workers are often in demand across all industries. Eather Recruitment and Labour Hire has extensive experience providing on-call and on-demand temporary workers. Examples of these are when businesses are experiencing unusual busy phases; seasonal work; end of financial year challenges; unexpected sick leave or staff absences and /or a new project. These placements can be for one day or several weeks and the contracts are often open-ended.

Sometimes this is a great way to enter an organisation as well as a fruitful way for the business to experience the new worker’s abilities. Many times the contractor successfully obtains a permanent role with the company!

Temporary casuals include both blue and white collar workers. Other examples of supply: conference staffing when workers are required for the duration of the event; maternity leave; back filling whilst permanent employees on leave or/on staff training. At the conclusion of each working week a timesheet is completed by Temporary/Casual employee, which requires authorisation and  signature from the employer or supervisor.

Our experienced consultants provide both employers and workers the best possible solution for their recruitment needs within diverse industries including (but not restricted to) building and construction; industrial; mining and road works. Eather Recruitment and Labour Hire specialise in both permanent recruitment and temporary labour hire contractors, from a junior level through to your most senior positions. We service both large multi-national and small boutique firms throughout regional NSW.

JOB Wardrobe? yes it’s a must!

A number of independent studies maintain that clothing can affect a first impression dramatically; it also can affect promotional opportunities.

How? Well whether we like it or not, humans are very judgmental! We base many of our decisions on first impressions and on on-going encounters. Women especially can be quite critical of how other women present. Men will note factors also.  The main point here is to dress for the job you want. If you are dressing “down” you are not reflecting the importance you place on the work.

Here are some basic rules: clothes should always be clean; ironed and well-fitted; use deodorant and only light after-shave or perfume; check the mirror before you leave; avoid piercings or showing tattoos on the first impression; for females, the rule of the less flesh on show the better applies; girls – makeup should be light-on and research has proven that a bit of lipstick is better than none (it shows you pay attention to the detail) check that your shoes are clean and polish if necessary.

White collar/clerical positions

For females – white or light coloured tailored blouse with a dark skirt or well-fitting trousers is a wardrobe must.

For Males – tailored trousers that can be matched to either a business shirt or a classy casual shirt dependant on the role you are interviewing for.

Blue Collar Labour Hire

Again the plain, simple rule – be clean, tidy, shaven and smell nice!

In summary, a great idea is to dress the way an employer would expect for their workplace. Will you be serving customers? Will you be representing the company? Always aim high…. Dress like the job you want – it is a simple Law of Attraction working for you

Looking for work or a new job can feel like running into barbed wire!

Lots of barriers and hurdles….  the whole experience can be filled with challenges and it is important to know what/where/when and how to best climb over any obstacles –  so that you can get to the right target employers and at the right time.

Finding a job in Regional NSW is a little more challenging that the Metro areas, however, there are tried and true methods that work in any job market.

Let’s explore the fishing analogy

The Right Bait

I believe your resume is the “Bait” that catches the attention of the reader (or not!). What results have you got from your resume? Have you sent heaps out with little result? Did your resume “bait” the reader enough to invite you to an interview? If not, change your bait! Each time you fish for work, make sure your bait is adapted to the role  or the “catch”. Sending the same resume out for various jobs, is NOT helping you bait the right catch!

The Right Employer

A good fisherman reads the weather reports, checks for the best areas for particular catches. Looking for work is no different. Research the companies you are keen on; (don’t be afraid to make a phone call and ask questions!) Examine the future of this industry – is it viable?; check that you have the right qualifications; skills and experience; Written job applications need to be tailored to the job advertisement.

The Right Time

Seeking a career change? or looking for a new job in the same industry? Just like fishing for the same breed of fish means working out what that particular fish likes best. What would be the best bait and what times are best to catch them? Employers and industries often have “down times” or seasonality too! If you are seeking a complete career change – what have you learnt from previous experiences and jobs that would be relevant in your new path? This is known as “transferable skills”. Fishing in new zones, requires the Angler to utilise what they have already learnt and be prepared to fail sometimes. List all your capabilities, skills and make sure that this is what your new employer is looking for. As a recruiter, I rarely get a call from applicants asking questions on an advertised role, if I do receive a call, many just rave about themselves, without asking ONE question on the role! This is not to right time to rave… that is for the formal application. First and foremost, find out all you can…about the role!

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!

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.

Wasn’t that long ago….that we all had a job for life!

New jobs and career paths are created every day. If you are a baby boomer or a child of the 70’s, I bet that many of you are not aware that the following jobs exist, let alone what they actually do! How about these apples…..

• A Mash up Artist – someone who composes unique music from hundreds of tracks from diverse artists
• Or  Social media strategists;  innovation strategists, creative technologists and video drifters to name a few.  Surprised? Here are a few more!
• Mobile Marketing Jedi – a growing area for business advertising where a career can be forged helping people develop marketing strategies for this device
• Gesture Writer – touch-screen and motion-controlled devices are the norm, not a novelty. Getting things done with a keyboard and mouse will feel archaic and weird. User experience will depend on the insights of experts in gestural movements, who will combine the disciplines of kinesthesiology, cognitive science and interaction design to develop Minority Report-style interfaces.
• Data Storyteller –  Just having access to mega data will no longer be a competitive advantage. The challenge will be in determining what to do with it all. Successful organizations will invest in staff who not only analyse the data but also present it in forms that attention-starved executives and time poor clients can act upon.
• Content Archivist – Competitive and legal pressure will require more demands for storing, indexing and retrieving the vast amount of content that brands produce. A content archivist will be the person everyone turns to when the Manager asks, “What was that post we sent about that thing five years ago?”
• Details Despot – The explosion and fragmentation of consumer touch points are already difficult to manage and will only get more complicated. Marketers who strive to surprise and delight their customers will hire executives to ensure that every gift card, error notice and photo caption is on-brand.

PHEW … and that is just the tip of the ice berg….. excited or scared.. and you dont need Google Glasses to see that it’s here! ………………

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…
