What does the spike in demand for immunity supplements caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have to do with Zoom Recruitment?

Our permanent recruitment services at Zoom Recruitment are rapidly expanding to meet market demands and our newest Senior Recruitment Consultant, Danielle, has joined the team to support our operations in Adelaide.

In a candidate shortage market, how do you fill a complex permanent role with rotating shifts for a company where finding the right cultural fit is essential?

When you open your eyes in the morning, what’s the first thing that you do? And before you close your eyes at night, what’s the last thing that you do? If your answer relates to reaching for your phone, you’re not the only person prioritising your screen time.

Adam’s my go-to guy when I need any information about awards, rates, market conditions, payment conditions, work health and safety or compliance. He has his finger on the pulse of all those things because he’s been in the recruitment game for a long time and has extensive experience in the industry.

Think about a time at work when a manager recognised your efforts, or a member of your team thanked you for being supportive. Remember how you felt when you were on the receiving end of somebody else’s gratitude. Now consider how someone else might feel if you passed on your gratitude to them.

Would you turn away a small request for staff with complex onboarding requirements?

THE CHALLENGE:

One of the biggest challenges that recruiters are facing right now is a shortage of skilled candidates in the labour market. What makes this case even more challenging is that the types of roles our client requires are highly specialised within the gas and energy sector. This organisation is one of the biggest operators within this sector in Australia, and the companies that make up this industry require people who have a very particular set of skills that are narrowly specific to their operations.

How can our recruiters understand the anxiety and uncertainty that our candidates feel when moving from one casual job to another? Or how about the surge of nervousness that our candidates feel when interviewing for a permanent role? How can we, as a recruitment agency, encourage empathy for what every person our recruiters speak to over the phone feels each day?

When I set up a 300 square metre warehouse in Williamstown, Victoria in August 2004, my belief was simple. Imagine how much better the world could be if everyone treated people how they want to be treated.
