Rock & Crete Crushing Services in Maitland, in regional South Australia had poor experiences with employment services in the past.
However, the atWork Australia team had a client, Terry, who wanted to work in the industry and would be a good fit for the business.
Employer Engagement Consultant, Steven, encouraged Rock & Crete Crushing Services to give it another go. He explained how much the overall employment services program had improved over the last few years.
He also explained how much support atWork Australia would provide, and that it was our goal to ensure that Terry was the right fit for them.
“After a lengthy conversation and explaining the difference in contracts now, what we can offer and how client focused we are, they decided to give it a go and interview Terry,” said Steven.
“After interviewing Terry, they hired him on the spot.”
One of the biggest benefits to Rock & Crete Crushing Services has been the ability to use atWork Australia to support Terry to upskill.
“Terry has been great, and with the support from atWork Australia in getting him extra tickets, he is proving to be a real asset,” said manager of Rock & Crete Crushing Services, Ed.
“atWork Australia support him to gain licenses to be able to use other machinery and saved us the time and hassle in trying to recruit someone else. We have been able to just move Terry around wherever we have needed him.”
For client, Terry, he has found sustainable employment in a supportive team.
“Terry is fitting in perfectly, always having a laugh with the crew,” said Ed.
Rock & Crete Crushing Services has gone from not considering employment services as a support, to now encouraging others to use the service.
“Being located where we are in regional South Australia, it is hard finding good, reliable, skilled workers,” said Ed.
“When people send me resumes, I now ask them if they are registered with any employment services providers in case they need any training done. I know I will have that support there.”
“The amount of support that can be offered from atWork Australia is really handy, especially for smaller businesses,” said Ed.
