I enable Engineering & Construction companies in Australia to achieve a few key goals:β Make more profit.β Win & deliver projects more effectively with less stress.β Secure the best talent in their market, especially for scarce and critical roles.β Take the stress away from resourcing demands on large projects, from bids to delivery stage.β Increase market share & profile. β Build a memorable brand.β Manage sustainable growth.β Drive a high performance, engaging, rewarding culture and positive market reputation.β Build people & organisational capability.How?π By identifying each business's unique vision, mission, goals, markets, strategy, competitors etc.π Partnering with management to elicit the above to devise an aligned people strategy.π Proactive workforce planning.π Building core talent pools, pipelines and market mapping.π Develop a compelling & profound value proposition for both candidates and companies.π Develop innovative and modern attraction, retention & development strategies.π Building meaningful relationships with quality passive candidates, keeping them across market trends, changes and relevant, discreet career opportunities.A little about me:I'm a typical empath, often too agreeable and generous, who regularly puts the needs and wants of others before those of myself, often to my detriment. Prior to getting into the world of HR and Recruitment, I managed large, multi-faceted hotels, pubs and clubs around Brisbane for nearly a decade. This experience gave me a great foundation to running a business, managing a diverse array of people, dealing with internal and external stakeholders, driving sales, marketing and promotional activities, learning about P&L's, budgets, reporting and all the commercials of running a successful venue that catered to specific market segments.I've always been drawn to adventures and challenges where great people management underpin the success of all good business, no matter the industry or field. What I have witnessed over the past 20+ years, is that you can be gifted and highly skilled in your craft, but if you can't convey and employ that effectively with the audience around you, the world is missing out on what you really have to offer, and that's a shame.β‘οΈ Want to take the stress out of finding the right people to deliver your projects successfully?
