22.01.2022 In a recent post I discussed Do It Yourself recruitment - one of the three main types of recruitment methods you could use in Australia. Today's post is about the second method - using the free Australian Government service "Job Active". Jobactive commenced in 1997, known then as the Job Network. The Jobactive website quotes "One of our 1700 jobactive providers across Australia will work directly with you to find job-ready candidates. No matter your industry, they'll offer ...you end-to-end recruitment services, at no cost to you....." Employers must understand that the Jobactive provider's main aim is to place someone in a job - they don't get paid by the Govt unless they do this. The higher the jobseekers level of job disadvantage, the more the provider is paid for placement. Could these providers be biased? Do they guarantee their candidates? Jobseekers are also obliged to find and accept job referrals in order to ensure that they continue receiving Centrelink payments. Does this requirement cause the wrong candidates to apply? If using this process, use your own final selection process to minimise risk! #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #humanresources #humanresourcesmanagement #humanresourcesconsulting #personality #psychometric #talentmanager

20.01.2022 Knowing who is going to be able to deliver your organisation’s future strategy is critical to your business success. These are the leaders and managers who will take you beyond where you thought you could go! Finding them is the key to this journey. Appropriately selected psychometric assessments will help you: -select talent during the recruitment phase,... -identify potential leaders already within your organisation, -create personalised high potential leadership development programmes, -deliver powerful coaching to accelerate development. Poor leadership can result in low engagement, poor results and stifled growth. Valid leadership development tools will also ensure that you: -accelerate leadership onboarding, -understand, manage and optimise performance, -coach, develop, reflect on and refine leadership style.

20.01.2022 When you think of the qualities that might help you win your next job, do you first think about your qualifications, or your past experience, or the references that you can provide? These attributes are clearly very important, but they really only help demonstrate to your employer that you meet the fundamental criteria for the job! More important than these for most jobs, and most employers, are your softer skills; like your personality, your communication, your diligence.... However these are much less tangible matters, so they are harder to demonstrate and discuss when applying for a job. Even with practice and a skilled interviewer many people will find it very difficult to describe their personal style adequately! For example a common interview question might be "what kind of team member are you?". Would you mention for example how 'trusting' you are, or how you can 'easily build rapport', or how 'tolerant' or ' involving' you are? Could you demonstrate your 'safety awareness', or your 'consideration for other team members', or your 'co-ordination' qualities?

15.01.2022 Our latest article giving insights into issues that might arise if you wish to do your own recruitment. Enjoy!

14.01.2022 We all have skills and knowledge in various areas. In the workplace for example there are tasks that we might love to do more than others - is that just because we are better at them? In the workplace, competence is often determined by your behavioural style, and your aptitude for activities that your role requires you to do. If you would like to learn more about your workplace capabilities, or those of your staff refer to link in my bio.

12.01.2022 Are you still wondering what kind of job you would really like? What your career interest areas actually are? It’s very normal to go through school, university and indeed your entire working life, still unsure about the kind of job that you would really like! Often we have hobbies that we are very passionate about, and cannot envisage life without them. But can the same be said about the work we do? During our early years it is quite probable that we will not be exposed to ...many different types of occupations. Generally job discussions at home centre around what our immediate family members do. Hopefully these people love their jobs, but if not, this is highly likely to further limit the number of career options that we consider. As we progress in years, our careers are most likely to have evolved through luck (good and bad), financial necessity, and opportunities that arose in the workplace. We did not necessarily follow our passion, or interest areas! It is really useful to be able to identify your career interest areas - there will no doubt be a few of these - so it is also helpful to understand the relative strengths of each of these. If you would like to explore your career strengths further and discover your personal values, an on-line My Self Questionnaire could be just what you need. The questionnaire is inexpensive and includes a comprehensive but easy-to understand report, including your Signature Strengths, and Challenge Areas. It also outlines your fit to a range of careers in the Career Area Chart and delves in more detail into the top three career options. For further information please email [email protected].

10.01.2022 Are you recuiting for graduates in the near future? The Australian Association of Graduate Employers’ (AAGE) Employer Survey 2019 (see this article by Jaymes Carr https://buff.ly/3aPs4jp) provides valuable insights into what major employers are thinking. To meet these requirements, we believe graduate assessment solutions must feature;... - online assessment, easy setup - unsupervised screening tests, plus supervised final tests - shortened assessment time with work relevant content - end-to-end solutions for screening, shortlisting, interviewing and onboarding - a positive candidate experience Regardless of whether you are planning a national or local recruitment we can provide assessment tools that are benchmarked internationally, ensuring that your company is seen as having a selection process that is relevant on the world stage. It is highly likely that you will only require two questionnaires (behavioural & cognitive) to gain an in-depth and holistic view of the applicant, thus saving costs. What are you planning for your next graduate intake?

09.01.2022 We often assume people just come together and work as an effective, collective team. This is hardly ever the case! Understanding individual team members and their purpose or function within a team is paramount for a successful, cohesive and effective team. An individual’s work style preferences is based on the way they interact with others and their approach to work. These are represented by 8 different Work Roles, each with their own strengths and weakness. So, what are th...e work roles? Analysts use their intellect and expertise to break down and evaluate information. They seek the right answers. Innovators take a creative approach to problem-solving and often develop long term strategies. Relators actively communicate with others and can help improve social interaction. Assertors readily take control of situations and coordinate people well. They prefer to be the leader. Optimists tend to be resilient, keep morale high and can stay calm under pressure. Supporters attend to the needs of others and prefer a team-oriented approach. Finishers focus on getting things completed to a high standard and pay attention to detail. They tend to be meticulous. Strivers push hard to achieve ambitious results are highly enterprising and competitive. #teambuilding #teambuildingideas #teambuildingactivity #teamassessment #personalitytypes #personalitydevelopment #psychometric #psychometrics #talentmanager #talentassessment #selection #coaching #hrconsultant #humanresources #humanresourcesmanagement #humanresourcesconsulting #humanresourceshelp #humanresourcesau #HumanResourcesManager #HumanResourcesSpecialist #humanresourcesclub #HumanResourcesAssistant #HumanResourcespractices

04.01.2022 Onboarding new staff can be as simple as ensuring the person is introduced to everyone, given a desk and some pencils

01.01.2022 If you are looking to become more self-aware and learn more about the real ‘workplace you’ a great place to start is to undertake an online Personality Questionnaire. There are many ‘ordinary’ options available online so be careful to choose something that is professionally regarded. I recommend a Personality Questionnaire called Wave Professional Styles. It is arguably the most comprehensive and accurate personality questionnaire on the market internationally and has been ...rated as such by the British Society of Psychologists. It is suited to any individual that has year 11 or 12 education or above and covers workplace style in virtually all occupations. There are no right or wrong answers in a quality personality questionnaire such as WAVE and the reports do not try to describe you in minimalistic terms such as ‘cat’, or categorise you into one of, say, twelve basic personality types. Each individual’s report will be different just like in real-life where nobody is the same, and everybody has individuality! If you are just starting out in your career it can help you understand and describe at interview, or in your resume, aspects of your style such as team interaction, detail consciousness, strategic thinking, drive, imagination, conscientiousness, leadership and many more. #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #personality #psychometric #psychometrics #talentmanager #talentassessment #selection #coaching #personalitydevelopment #workplacewellness #workingdays #workinglife #hardlyworking #careerdevelopment #consulting #interviewinvite #jobsearch #jobs #jobopenings #job #jobposting
