We have spent countless dollars in advertising job vacancies solely in newspapers. We were hesitant in putting money into the Employment Office program, however after the success we have had over the months campaign I can honestly say that it is true, people apply for jobs on line, the days of searching the papers only are in the past, we have applications from the world stage. Anybody or firm that is having trouble filling job vacancies should give this campaign their attention, it works.

I have used the Employment Office service including the Candidate Management System (CMS) since June 2008. In that time I have recruited 70 roles attracting over 2,400 applications. The EO service allows me to place high quality, consistent-looking job advertisements quickly in a variety of online and print media. The CMS is user-friendly and allows both the hiring manager and me to see applicants and shortlist them for interview. The CMS is essential for keeping track of the large number of applicants we now receive.

"Arrow Energy retained complete control of their candidates, successfully collating their details within the online system. The Candidate Management System improved the efficiency of the screening process and enabled Arrow Energy to return to their candidate pool whenever new employment opportunities arose."

"Please note that we are very satisfied with campaign and we will coming back to you for future requirements very shortly. One of the biggest benefits is that we got very good response because of the way the ad was written and it was a good publicity for Govan. Also, we recruited two people for the one flat fee.

Your name is in my mind always for future referrals."

"Just a quick note to say thank you for your assistance in our campaign to place a Mechanical Engineer into our growing company.

When I commenced planning the campaign for this role I knew that I would have a tough time in finding any suitable candidates for short listing and after my own initial attempts, sought your assistance.

"Just a few lines on my experience with Employment Office and what I see as being the benefits of your service:
• We received approx 130 applications and I did not have to read the resumes of any of the applicants that were not shortlisted
• I had 6 answers to 6 questions that I chose to shortlist applicants
• What a far simpler process and less time consuming!!
• We have our new PA starting on Monday and our Managing Director is very happy with the results!!"

"I needed a Bookkeeper with QuickBooks expertise and Office Administration skills. Employment Office ran a comprehensive recruitment campaign that attracted a number of qualified candidates to my role. It was easy to compare the candidates as they had all answered my tailored questions in the same order, and I could tell a lot more about them than if I had just had their resumes to read. I filled the role with a really good candidate and am very pleased with the EO process and service."

"We have used Employment Office for recruitment on several occasions, most recently to fill a Receptionist position. Yet again we were pleased with the EO process and service, with 44 candidates attracted to the role and the position successfully filled. The fact that EO places all the newspaper and online advertising for us is fantastic. Since all candidates apply by answering our tailored interview questions, it is simple to shortlist. I’m so glad I didn’t have to read through 44 resumes!

"Within the current market, we have found high-quality candidates extremely hard to come by, even with the assistance of several recruitment agencies.

"You delivered and kept your promise, whereas the others just offered excuses.

I admit I was fairly sceptical that you could produce a result within one month of being commissioned given the number of “big name” recruitment companies whom I have dealt with in the past. The difference was that you delivered and kept your promise, where the others just offered excuses as to why they couldn’t fill the position."
