"I've known Paul for over 5 years now having used his recruitment expertise for my real estate agency. Paul took the time to find out what I needed and he delivered on his promise. One of the things I really liked about Paul and his team is, the after sales care he provides. He was genuinely interested in how our new recruits went and stayed in touch. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Paul to anyone looking to build their sales team."

"Paul is one of those rare people with charisma and charm that makes it easy to do business with. People genuinely relate to Paul on a personal and business level. His deep experience in recruitment across government and industry means he can quickly assess a role and how it fits into often complex organisation structures. Paul is extremely well networked and uses his personal relationships, often at the highest levels, to get things done quickly."  

- Don Easter

 

"Paul is an outstanding leader in the Brisbane business community. He heads his own pre-eminent recruitment agency and is extremely well networked within Queensland and Australia. Paul is a great contact for any business looking to expand into the region."  

- Cameron Smith 

 

"I have engaged Erina to present candidates for two separate roles in the last year. She went to a lot of effort to get to know our firm and the specific roles, and she only presented candidates that were suitably qualified and experienced. She certainly made the recruiting task easier, she's great to work with and I'd happily recommend her to others."  

Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity

Report

 

 

 

Dear

 

I had an opportunity to watch Parliament during the week which can occasionally be quite insightful and sobering, particularly when both political parties are debating issues neither knows much about i.e the carbon tax!  

 

Carbon Tax 

 

There is one thing for certain, until we can be guaranteed some certainty regarding the carbon tax, small and medium sized businesses will delay their own decision making processes. This will exacerbate the already profound levels of uncertainty in the global economic market, thus stalling any milestones in our own jobs market.  

 

We keep hearing about the "two-tiered economy", well I believe it exists to a degree. The mining and resources sectors with their buddies in the energy markets are hiring swathes of people. In fact the skills shortage is the greatest challenge facing these companies as they endeavour to bring their projects in on time. The rest of the market seems to be pleasing itself without any degree of success. Retailing is down but savings are up, the price of fuel is up and the value of our dollar is also on the rise...who knows what is going on!

 

All I know is that a clear head and mind, as well as an optimistic outlook in moving through this malaise is the order of the day!
