1. After a Brisbane Recruitment Service? What to Look For
With a beautiful climate and enviable lifestyle, Brisbane employers have plenty of dedicated locals - and
a constant stream of new residents, intent of staying - to choose from when recruiting. The labour is
there; the major challenge for employers then is determining the most effective means of recruiting the
best. Recruitment services can lend a hand in this area but make sure you consider the following when
choosing one:
Small Details = Big Difference
Hours of Operation and location are also important factors to consider when choosing a recruitment
service. If you are a weekend business, you need a firm that can be flexible to your needs.
Education & Experience
Research the education and experience of the company - and its workforce – that you are choosing.
Ideally, seek out a service that specializes in your industry or, at the very least, has a recruitment
background.
Investigate Past Practices
Past performance is one of the best indicators of future behavior and employers on the hunt for
recruitment services should look for success stories, research prospect websites and seek out
testimonials from previous clients. The Recruitment & consulting Services Association, the governing
body of recruitment agencies in Australia and New Zealand, and is a great place to access background
information on providers.
Package Details
Inquire into the screening methods used to identify candidates. Are there additional services such as
drug and alcohol testing or psychometric testing that can help in assessing appropriate candidates?
Comfort Check
Meet face to face with you prospects. The relationship must be comfortable. Your selection should be
one that understands or wants to understand your needs and the local Brisbane market.

2. Safeguards
Ensure that you understand the contract completely before signing on the dotted line. If you are not
satisfied with your hire, wouldn't you like the option of a replacement?
Cost
Cost is a determining factor for sure, but the cost schedule is even more important in making an
informed choice. While some recruitment services charge a base fee that will be added to over the
course of your service, others offer a flat fee for service. You must decide which method suits your
needs most effectively.

options. Do this and your organization will benefit with a great hire.
