How To Avoid That Groundhog Day Feeling; Work For A Labour Hire Company

Getting off the merry-go round.

The alarm goes off and your eyes pop open, seeing nothing but the ceiling and the same day you have been living for what seems a lifetime.  All you can do is attempt to prepare yourself for another day at a job that leaves you unfulfilled and without satisfaction or direction.  You roll out of bed and resign yourself to doing it all again because there doesn’t seem to be a way out.

Well, there is an option, it just may be you never considered it before, or maybe you had no idea it existed, and that is labour sourcing.  Bet you thought this option was only for short term solutions, but there is more to contracting your skills than you are aware of and the benefits to you may be somewhat surprising.

Feel as if you are in the wrong line of work?

You wouldn’t be the first person to have these misgivings and the biggest struggle which accompanies these thoughts is the misconception there are no options.  That’s where resourcing yourself may be the right choice instead of continuing day to day in the hopes things will change on their own.  If you are at a loss as to where you should be, why not sample what’s available and truly gain a working knowledge of what may interest you.

Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?  Well it isn’t, just try thinking of it this way.

Your entire life you have eaten the same meal for dinner.  Every evening you sit down and prepare yourself, knowing there will be no variety and the taste will be the same, each and every day.  But then one evening, as you pull up your seat, you are handed a menu with a wide variety of choices, so many you don’t know where to begin.  As you scan the choices there are some which catch your eye and others which aren’t appealing, and that’s perfectly fine because you have a choice.

Now, imagine if your career was the same as the items on that menu.

How would it be to sit down and peruse a menu of job choices?  How would it feel to be able to get out of the rut your career has become and not only try something different, but, if it happens to be a bad fit have the opportunity to try something else?  Would you like to add flexibility to your professional life?  Would happiness at work make life better?

Take charge and change your direction to new horizons.

If you answered yes to at least one of those questions, you just may be in the market for a new way of doing business.  Call a reputable recruitment agency like All Force Labour Solutions and see just how they can help you take control of your career and happiness by making the most of what you have to offer.  All this while exploring the careers around you for the one that not only provides you with income but satisfaction as well, because as you know all too well, happiness on the job has an impact on your happiness in everyday life.

Why continue to drag through your days, lost because you don’t know where to turn?  Instead, do something to make your professional, and as a result your personal life, a favour and see for yourself what labour sourcing may mean to you.

Recruitment Agency Consultants (Sharing A Day In The Life Of)

Being a recruitment agency consultant might conjure up various images in your mind. Some of them may be preconceptions, misconceptions and some may be even partially true. The fact remains: recruitment is unrivalled in its rewarding of effort.

Here is what a typical day in the life of a recruitment consultant is like:

My day begins typically at 8 am

With coffee-loads of it!  This is the time to check emails. We generally receive hundreds of applications overnight and additionally we also have the usual lead generation, online/social media groups and job boards. I generally do a quick scan to see if there is anyone with a profile our clients may be looking for. It is very important that a recruitment agent deals with sensitivity with applicants because it is a tough and competitive world out there. I generally like to share advice where I can!

Team Meetings

We usually have a team meet around 9 am. As such, recruitment can be a very solitary line of work and most of us are working alone all the time. These meetings let us brainstorm ideas and even cross reference clients. Although each of us is a specialist in a particular area of work, it is quite possible that we are working with the same client to provide them with people of varying skill sets. So it is even more important that we understand who is dealing with which organisation and also assess the processes being developed for them.

Phone Calls

The phone calls start at about 10-10:30 where both applicants and clients are vying for our attention. Time management is crucial to ensure making the most of the day. I like to touch base with candidates that I am handling making sure they are ready for their interview, providing feedback and confirming availability, etc. I believe it is very important to build a good rapport with both the clients and the applicants so they are open and honest with me.

The noise levels start rising in the office by mid morning. I like to profile applicants with clients where there can be value addition for both. It is important that every recruitment consultant forge new contacts and make at least one arrangement to meet a new or existing client. This strengthens the rapport and also helps me know their business better so I can better help them.

Not Just a ‘Cold-Call’

I pride myself in being a part of All Force Labour Solutions. We are increasingly well-known in the Perth recruitment market and have a great profile. We work across a large client base and have developed a great rapport with our local clients which in turn means they talk about us which leads to more clients and happy customers.

Market Conditions

Yes, market conditions are tough and I cannot guarantee a job to anyone. But the moment I get a new role to fill in, adrenalin kicks in! My mind immediately scans through names in the database. Within a few minutes I am on the phone calling candidates explaining about the role and the opportunity.

Lunch

I often like to meet candidates and clients in lunch hour. If I have met the candidate, it greatly helps me represent them to the clients. It also makes for better long-term relationships. Once I am back from lunch, the afternoon goes with even more calls. If there is a new role, then we have the job of advertising it in detail all across different platforms so we can engage the right candidates.

I Love My Job

As clichéd as that might sound! But at the end of the day, I like to look back at a productive day. People often forget one thing about recruitment: that we actually make people happy for a living. It is wonderful to hear that happiness in their voices as we offer them a new role. It is indeed a fantastic feeling. We work hard and the sense of achievement is great and so are the rewards!
