At Staff Australia, we understand that the Australian job market can sometimes be hard to navigate.

As a job seeker, it is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by the seemingly endless number of opportunities listed on digital job boards like SEEK, Jora and Indeed.

Although online job boards can offer convenience and choice, they do not always provide job seekers with the most appropriate resources or the support necessary to master the job search and get the right job! This is why utilising a recruitment agency like Staff Australia can provide unparalleled advantages for job seekers.

Let’s discuss the various ways Staff Australia might be a smarter choice:

  1. We are Matchmakers: Staff Australia is built on the backs of experienced recruiters who can help you find a temporary, permanent or casual position that aligns with your skills, experience, and career aspirations. By providing this personalized approach, we work tirelessly to increase your chance of landing a job that suits you and your values.
  2. We are Negotiators: The Staff Australia team works 24/7 to identify new and hidden job opportunities. Australia is full of jobs that we cannot always see, as a matter of fact, around 80% of job openings are never advertised! (Forbes 2017) This means that recruitment agencies are often aware of job openings that aren’t advertised elsewhere. By registering with Staff Australia, you will gain access to a wide range of exclusive opportunities which will be tailored to your goals and preferences.
  3. We are Advocates: Our operations team is here to offer guidance and support to our candidates and clients every step of the way, from fixing your resume to clocking in on your first shift. For job seekers, Staff Australia is determined to help you stand out to prospective employers throughout the hiring process. Our expert tips and resources ensure that you’re fully prepared to enter a new role.
  4. We are Providers: Unlike the online job boards, Staff Australia is here for you even after you’ve found a comfortable place of work. We’re committed to the provision of continuous guidance and assistance as you make your journey to and from work every single day. We are dedicated to you. From your very first interaction with us, we want to make sure that you’re matched with a role that perfectly aligns with your aspirations and ambitions.
  5. We are Committed: Just like you, we understand the value of time, effort and money, which is why our team is determined to streamline the recruitment process as much as possible! Using online job boards can be difficult to navigate and time consuming to curate, which is just another reason why your job search can be trusted in the hands of our recruitment experts. Let us take some things off your plate!

Staff Australia is a matchmaker, provider, negotiator and advocate all in one! With access to hidden opportunities, expert guidance, and time saving resources, it’s a decision that could make all the difference in today’s employment landscape.
