“As a small business, atWork Australia helps keep recruitment services free, without compromising on the quality of candidates,” said James, owner of small business Patio & Shed Kits WA.
Patio and Shed Kits have used the free services of atWork Australia three times in the past five years to source quality candidates for their roles.
Most recently the team hired atWork Australia client, Cameron. A 21-year-old with a background as a trade assistant and labouring.
“Cameron has fit into the team well. He’s picked up the role quickly, is reliable, has a good attitude and is keen to learn,” said James.
“He is in a powder coating role now, but we would like to get him a welding qualification to move him into the welding team.”
atWork Australia is able to support Cameron to progress in his employment by financially providing the training he requires to move into the welding role. Another cost benefit to the Patio & Shed Kits WA team.
“The atWork Australia team has always been helpful and attentive to our needs,” said James.
“We have used other recruitment options in the past, and costs can be quite high. atWork Australia is a more efficient option as its fast, cost effective and provides quality candidates.”
atWork Australia recognises that the very strengths and skills that help people live with their circumstances, are also skills that are highly valued in the workplace, like determination, dedication, resilience and compassion. Just like Cameron.
“atWork Australia has a large talent pool of ready to work candidates,” said atWork Australia employer engagement consultant, Jade.
“In addition to ensuring the candidates we refer have the right skills and qualifications, we also focus on ensuring the candidate is the right fit for the businesses culture to ensure a sustainable long-term outcome.”
“The response time from needing a position filled to having someone available is always quick, and the quality of candidates is strong,” said James.
