The gameplan

In-Depth Strategy Session

We collaborated closely with the client to establish all key roles that needed to be filled, advising on a strategic hiring sequence based on current candidate market conditions. This allowed us to prioritise roles with higher demand and limited availability, ensuring an efficient and effective recruitment process.

Specialised Talent Search

Leveraging our extensive local networks, we targeted highly skilled candidates within Perth and also identified professionals willing to relocate interstate. Additionally, we reached out to candidates who had recently arrived in Australia with existing working rights, providing an expanded pool of talent suited to the client’s requirements.

Ongoing Weekly Meetings and Tracked Candidate List

To keep all key stakeholders updated, we conducted weekly meetings and provided a tracked candidate list. This transparent approach ensured the client was always informed on candidate submissions, interview progress, and status updates, fostering a collaborative and streamlined hiring process.

The success

30 hires delivered

ConnectYou successfully delivered 30 specialised hires over the course of 6 months, enabling the client to scale their Perth operations and confidently manage multiple major projects concurrently.
