Permanent Appointments

People at Work has been at the forefront in recruitment excellence since 1987. Our Permanent Recruitment Division provides world best practice across three distinct avenues of recruitment, ensuring that you get the right person for the job, first time ~ every time!

Executive Search and Selection

Whether you're looking for a CEO or that hard to find executive who is just right for your organisation, People at Work can solve your recruitment needs. Our specialist Executive Recruiters have the expertise and experience to produce the results you need without breaking the bank!

Our professional and confidential process is paramount to all parties concerned and provides an outstanding opportunity to promote your organisation as an "Employer of Choice". People at Work can conduct national and international search campaigns and offers the added benefit of our overseas contacts which includes an international network of recruitment associates in most countries. Whether you wish to conduct advertised or non-advertised search, our customised recruitment process will ensure that you get the quality service that best meets your needs. From salary packaging advice through to assistance with negotiation of the job offer, People at Work can provide you with the most comprehensive executive recruitment service you've ever experienced. Our extensive data bank of executive candidates combined with our web and recruitment technology based solutions, gives us the edge in sourcing the best candidates for you.

People at Work offers the facilities of an in-house psychologist for conducting personality assessment and profiling of candidates. Our consultants are accredited to develop and conduct assessment centres and we utilise Behavioural Interviewing to select for key competencies. Naturally, extensive reference and background checks are undertaken on all candidates referred for your consideration. We guarantee all our placements. If you're not satisfied we'll do it all over again - for free!

As a corporate member of the Recruitment and Consulting Services Association (RCSA), People at Work adheres to a strict code of ethics and professional conduct at all times. It's part of our ethos that we'll never compromise. Our high success rate in executive recruitment is evidence of our exacting standards and experience in this field.

Secretarial & Admin Appointments

When recruiting for secretarial and administrative positions, People at Work offers not only the expertise of our team of specialist admin recruiters, but also the benefits of sophisticated technology encompassing extensive data base management capabilities, computer skills testing and compatibility selection that is both fast and accurate.

Major sectors serviced include State and Local government, legal, medical and financial services.

All candidates referred for positions undergo an in depth interview and selection process using a behavioural approach linking key selection criteria to demonstrated capability. Our consultants are skilled in staff selection and will only refer the very best candidates for consideration. Our approach is meticulous, professional and above all, responsive to the needs of each client.

All administrative candidates are tested for computer competency using our QWIZ testing package. Skills can be assessed in a variety of desktop programs in addition to the standard speed and accuracy testing. Assessments can also be customised to suit the requirements of particular industries or organisations. This is especially useful where specific technical or other industry terms are used frequently, such as in the medical and legal sectors. However, personality compatibility is as important as skills, so our consultants assess each candidate for personality fit to your culture as well as assessing their expertise. Naturally, reference checking is undertaken to confirm each candidate's background details and to provide further information to assist in the selection process.

We understand your needs and we also understand that the best candidate may not necessarily be sitting on a data base waiting to be called. In addition to accessing our extensive data base of candidates, we utilise a targeted advertised selection approach to attract the very best candidates. People at Work can advertise, interview, screen and shortlist. All you need do is interview two or three candidates and make a decision. It's as simple as that! Naturally, we keep you informed every step of the way. All positions are offered with a placement guarantee ensuring that, should the employee leave during the guarantee period, then we will replace them at no additional fee to you.

Industrial Recruitment

People at Work's Industrial Division commenced in 1989 and since that time has provided trades and labour for short term temporary and permanent positions to companies throughout Geelong and the Western suburbs of Melbourne. Operating across two offices in Brooklyn and Geelong, our team of specialist industrial recruiters source only the best candidates from Geelong and Melbourne to fill the many temporary vacancies with our client companies.

Major sectors serviced include food manufacturing and processing, fertilisers, plastics and textiles.

Candidates undergo an in depth selection process to determine suitability for the role. Competency assessments are available and credentials are verified, with specific reference checking undertaken prior to referral to our clients. A placement guarantee is offered with all permanent positions. If the candidate leaves within the guarantee period then we will find a suitable replacement at no additional fee. In addition to utilising our extensive candidate data base, People at Work can advertise, interview, screen and short list, with volume recruitment a specialty. We have the systems, the experience and the know how to get it right, first time ~ every time!
