Evaluating
employment during the recession
There’s no doubt that the
way businesses recruit staff is changing rapidly in today’s environment. At a time when it is crucial for businesses
to make the best use of their resources, convenience has become the key to
successful recruitment.
According to Penny Smith, manager of the Auckland Chamber of
Commerce’s Employment Division, this is the reason for the increasing
popularity of the Chamber’s recruitment and employment services, which are offered
at no cost.
“We find more and more businesses are eager to take advantage of our employment
services,” she says. “This is because they enjoy the convenience of being able
to instantly construct their own shortlist from a variety of quality candidates.”
“It is also valuable that we
offer such a variety of quality candidates, many of whom are flexible in their
work requirements.”
“Our New Kiwis website (www.newkiwis.co.nz) links employers to
highly qualified, migrant job seekers ready to start immediately, at no cost,”
Penny explains. “Recently, four to five candidates a week are offered
employment through this site. We are delighted with these results and the
feedback.”
Glenn
Styles, Managing Director of Doorman Besam and new advocate for the site says:
“I have recently recruited a candidate from the New Kiwis website into a senior
role within my company. I found this free service very helpful; so much so that
I will definitely utilise it for my future staffing needs.”
Due
to the sheer number of candidates searching for employment, Penny believes
finding good staff is even more difficult when economic times are turbulent.
“By using the Chamber’s
services employers can access quality candidates, available now saving time and
money.”
