There has been a shift in the recruitment market.

Not too long ago there we were in a candidate short market, making it difficult for our client’s to find the right person who wasn’t looking for enormous $.

Now we are seeing the reverse. As unemployment continues to rise and candidates flood the market it is getting increasingly difficult for our clients to meet the administration demand of this increased work load.

The options are:

1) Recruit new HR staff - $50k to $100k per annum cost
2) Outsource the Recruitment Administration - starting at $22,500 per annum via Logic Recruitment

I know what I would chose!

Logic Recrutiment are offering new services which provides administration support covering all areas of recruitment from the writing of job adverts to interviews and ref checks.

For more information contact Kilee Giles on 08 9322 4873 or kg@logicrecruitment.net

Logic are excited to confirm that our new Database and Web Search facility is now operational.

Over the next few weeks we will be ironing out any issues, and making some amendments.

It is with great excitement that we announce our transfer to a new recruitment database.

This will allow us to work more efficiently providing even greater service to both our candidates and clients.

During this transition phase you will have noticed that the Logic Job Listing (see left of the page) is currently empty, this will quickly fill once we are up and running on the new system. In the meantime for an updated job list please email kg@logicrecruitment.net

Did you know that on average 51 West Australian employees are injured in the work place every day?

That seems a large number.

Occupational Health & Safety is a minefield of regulations and laws which are continually changing and updating. Large organisations are able to allocate specific Safety Advisers or OH&S Consultants to ensure that work safety is a priority.

But what about the smaller companies who cannot afford such a position – well here are some ideas to ensure an injury free workplace?

1) Consult and involve staff to raise the profile of Health & Safety
2) Conduct regular inspections of the workplace
3) Train staff in first aid and any other relevant safety areas
4) Have a Safety & Health Management Plan – these are your procedures and policies for all staff to follow

For further information relating to workplace safety please refer to www.worksafe.com.au and www.docep.wa.gov.au.

After watching a particularly disturbing movie on Saturday night we switched to the ABC to find out the results of the WA State Election. As you all well know there were no results. A large amount of the population decided that Labor was no longer the way to go but there weren’t enough to hand it to the Libs outright. So what happens?

Does it really all come down to the National Party who only won 4 seats? 2 more than they had and a handful of Independents. Brendon Grylls spends the week being woo’d by both parties before deciding who he would best like to play with, shouldn’t he have known this before we even went to election? How do both parties make fundamental promises to secure the support of the National party in such a small amount of time? And what happens if Brendan can’t decide?

Over the past week there has been a lot of political discussion - trust me I have been listening to everything possible to get an understanding on the situation - but there is nothing clear for the common folk? If anyone can shed some light feel free to make a comment.

When it comes to Recruitment throughout all this unknown, Logic Recruitment is still finding quality candidates regardless of who comes to power, there will just be different topics of conversation around the coffee machine.

Welcome to the beginning of August.

August is a very busy time of the year for Recruitment. Annual salary reviews have been completed within most companies and for some staff this is less than they expected. As a result people begin to move on looking for a new opportunities leaving employer’s the need to fill the vacancies left behind.

To assist the Logic Team in managing this increased activity we welcome Jonathan Wipp who comes to us fresh off the plane from the UK. Jonathan arrives with a funny accent, his wife and 3 kids and an excitement about drive through bottle shops.

Coming from his own Recruitment Business Jonathan has hit the ground running in assisting candidates to identify new opportunities.

We wish you well Jonathan and love having you as part of the team.

If you would like to speak to Jonathan about a current opportunity you can contact him via jpw@logicrecruitment.net or 08 9322 4873.

THEY reply to emails at midnight, think nothing of a 16-hour day and slam-dunk their KPIs every time. But workaholics can also be moody, impolite and irrational warns Kate Hennessy, and, like it or not, it’s your responsibility as the boss to ensure their stress doesn’t overcome them.
