As a candidate you want to be treated with respect and know that your recruiter is out there finding you the job that you want to do, not the job that an employer wants you to do. Here’s what our people have to say about the way we do what we do.
David: “You’re a professional and you expect to be treated professionally”
“As a candidate you can expect to be introduced to only the best companies in the field. We are selective in who we choose to work for, because we only want to place candidates in the best possible roles with companies that are growing and have a strong future.
“We will act as an extension of the company we are representing, so by the time you get to an interview you’ll already know all about the details of the company, the role, their culture, their expectations, their corporate direction and what the position will mean for your career. We understand that you’re a professional and you expect to be treated professionally.”
Andrew: “We can advise you on the organisations you’re most likely to enjoy yourself in & get the challenge, recognition and reward you deserve”
“We take our time placing candidates because we know how important it is to get a job that suits your personality, not just your ambitions. If we believe you’re not suitable for a role you want, we’ll tell you what you need to do to get there, and we’ll find you alternative positions you might not have considered or been aware of previously.
“We have the advantage of having in-depth knowledge of our markets and understanding the industry from our client’s perspective. We know who’s offering what to whom and based on your preferences we can advise you on the best possible fit and where you’re most likely to enjoy yourself.
“Unlike many other recruiters who don’t perform as well as AustCorp when it comes to communicating, we like to keep in touch. We’ll contact you regularly, every day if necessary, including out of hours or whenever suits you best. We’ll keep you informed about what we’re doing, who we’re approaching on your behalf and what you can do to prepare for the interview.
“In short, we’ll be your partners in getting you the job that’s right for you.”
Gareth: “Chances are we already know who you are”
“If you’re succeeding in your industry chances are we already know who you are, even if you’ve never sent us your details. We place the majority of our candidates through referrals, networking and headhunting as opposed to relying on searches or advertising. Why? Because we know our markets and the people working in it, and we understand that the best people for the job are not necessarily those who are actively searching.
“When you come to us looking for a role, we’ll go beyond your CV to work out exactly what you want to do, what you’re good at and the best sort of company to suit your needs. We want to place you where you’ll enjoy the company culture and rise to the challenge of the job.”
Doug: “We’ll give you constructive feedback”
“When you come to us as a candidate we take the time to get to know you, to find out your background, your career goals and what sort of work you most enjoy doing. This makes it a lot easier for us to narrow down the roles that are ideal for you. You won’t find yourself going to interviews at companies whose culture you won’t enjoy or whose values and ethics aren’t aligned with yours.
“If we think you’re suitable for a role but you don’t get the job, we’ll give you constructive feedback on what you can do to adapt your abilities or improve your presentation skills. Securing the positions we put you up for is our job and we take it seriously.”
Ryan: “We’ll show you where your strengths and weaknesses are”
“Everyone looking for a new role believes they’re the best person for the job, and it’s very important to have self-belief, however it is just as important to understand areas where you could improve. We’ll help you understand and identify your strengths and weaknesses as well as ways to balance them out, and subsequently point you in the direction of those roles that suit your abilities and match your expectations.
“We’ll also make sure you find positions in companies where you’re comfortable with the culture. In the business world there are some dramatically different corporate cultures and it’s critical that you work in an environment that suits your personality.
“We’ll explain to you what the opportunities of a role are and where it can take you in your career, not just what you’ll be doing each day. How can we do this? Because we know the industry: we know the companies, we know their business and we know what their plans for the future are.”
Laura: “We’ll make sure it’s a job you’ll enjoy”
“We work with the employers of choice in your sector, so any role we put you forward for will be with one of the leading companies. We’ll work with you to find out not just what sort of position you want, but the sort of company culture you prefer.
“When we put you forward for a role, you can be sure that it’s one that suits your ambitions and your personality. We’ll also make sure that it’s a job you’ll enjoy – sure, you might be able to get a few thousand dollars more elsewhere, but you may well find you’re doing the work of two people in exchange. We’ll put you into a role that’s challenging, well-remunerated and rewarding, without working your fingers to the bone.
“If we think you’re not suitable for a job you want, we’ll tell you why and how you can get to where you want to be. Constructive feedback can be invaluable in getting you that next position and that’s our objective – to get you into the job you want.”
