Why should you work for the Careers Connections team?
Taking on a new full-time position is no easy decision. You want to work for a company that not only pays you right, but treats you right. An employer that values your experiences, can help you grow as a professional and (most of all) lets you have some fun while doing it.
When we opened the doors to Careers Connections over 25 years ago, we wanted to build a business that did exactly that. Our company is built on a strong culture, where work feels less like work and more like a passion project.
When you choose to join our team you are gaining professional experience as well as personal enjoyment. Don't believe us? Let's take a closer look at the top five reasons we think you should join our team:
1. We have the resources to support you
Here at Careers Connections, we pride ourselves on supporting our staff to the best of our abilities. This means providing them with onsite payroll help, extensive compliance assistance and the technology that helps them excel in their positions.
We actively encourage our team members to expand their skill base and branch out into new areas that interest them.
But it's more than just logistical support. We actively encourage our team members to expand their skill base and branch out into new areas that interest them.
"In a lot of bigger recruitment companies you come in, hit your targets and leave," explains our Medical Division Manager Jonathan Richards.
"While this works for some people, I love working in an organisation that offers you the chance to get involved in projects outside of your standard scope of work while also encouraging you to continue growing as a professional."
Pair onsite payroll with an in-house IT team and compliance support with professional development, add a competitive salary and an enviable commission structure – now you've got an opportunity that is hard to pass up. But wait, we're not done yet. In fact, we're just getting started.
2. We have the experience to help you excel
Unlike a lot of recruitment companies today, our staff is made up of team members that are in recruitment for the long haul. They have years of experience under their collective belts, which means our clients get an exceptional experience and our new team members have an impressive knowledge base to tap into. Our team prides itself on being supportive and we are constantly learning new things from each other – our individual experiences help build our entire team up.
3. We let you work the way that works for you
Everything we do at Careers Connections is supported by a solid foundation of trust. For this reason, micromanagement isn't even in our vocabulary. We know our team is talented, that's why we hired them and that's exactly why we encourage them to work in whatever way is best for them.
Our clients have faith that we will excel at our jobs on their behalf and the result is a great placement and a happy team.
"Careers Connections is built on trust – trust in our colleagues, trust from our clients, trust in our vision," explains Barry Woodham, a recruiter that's been with Careers Connections for 8 years.
"The most treasured thing I have learned on this team is that trust and faith add up to success. We cultivate trust, our clients have faith that we will excel at our jobs on their behalf and the result is a great placement and a happy team."
4. We value your life outside work too
We know that work isn't your whole life and we don't expect it to be. We work with all of our team members to create a schedule that works for them. Whether this means flexible working hours or the occasional work-from-home day, we are happy to accommodate your needs. And we don't expect you to work yourself dry. While we do have high expectations for our entire staff, we prioritise the wellbeing of our employees above all else. We want you to get out and experience all the wonders of Australia and we encourage it!
5. We enjoy coming into work every day
We're quick to admit that the best part of working with Careers Connections is our team. Our company culture is vibrant and we share a lot of laughs across the office. It's like coming into work just to hang out with your friends.
Careers Connections is not just an exceptional recruitment company but an exceptional place to work – and we want to share that with you. To learn more about our open positions, reach out to one of our team members today.
