Three newly created Shift Manager positions are now available across the operations of a successful global manufacturer.

The roles are part of an organisational restructure, backed by more than $50 million in investment in automation, robotics and world class production technology.

Each role offers the opportunity to oversee an entire production shift, reporting directly to the Manufacturing Manager while leading sizeable teams.

The package includes additional shift loading for afternoon and night shifts, along with genuine opportunities for career progression.

Experience in packaging, printing, FMCG, food manufacturing, plastics or other high volume manufacturing environments will be highly regarded.

A four-stage strategy, with 51 professionals discreetly approached, resulted in finding BG&E’s new Defence Sector Lead.

Using a structured and confidential executive search, the Findstaff team:

• Reached out to 51 professionals

• Identified 21 suitable prospects

• Shortlisted eight passive candidates through screening and interviews

• Progressed four to the second stage

• Helped BG&E secure their new leader

Leadership recruitment comes with its own complexities, but when recruiting in Australia’s defence sector, there are additional challenges to navigate. These include:
• Roles that sit within secure programs

• Mandatory clearances for many positions

• Longer timelines due to vetting and contract phases

To help employers navigate these complexities, we’ve created a guide covering the pillars of effective defence recruitment and how to attract, assess and retain the right people.

Only you know what it took to become who you are and get where you are today.

Others can’t tell your story, so own it.

Do you agree?

Going through some memories from 2024, we came across these two photos from when the team was invited to attend a series of insightful events hosted by the Australian Government.

Bronwyn Edwards, our Account Manager for IntoWork Group Recruitment Solutions, represented us at the Melbourne Meet the Supplier event, while our Executive Search Specialist, Andrew Kilgour, joined the event in Brisbane.

As a successful respondent to the People Panel Phase 2 (Labour Hire Services), Findstaff participated in these important events, which aimed to streamline service categories across the Australian Government, improve consistency in terms and establish standardised rates.

At the time, it allowed us to connect with Government stakeholders and gain insights into their future workforce needs and requirements.

But what exactly is the People Panel?

Established in October 2022, the People Panel is part of a Whole of Australian Government (WoAG) coordinated procurement initiative led by the Department of Finance. It encompasses Recruitment and Search Services, Labour Hire Services and Contractor Services.

During that year, the team also attended events in other locations, giving us further opportunities to collaborate with the Government through this important panel.

You have one role to fill, but chances are you’ll meet more than one great candidate. Instead of simply forgetting about them, you can build a relationship and stay in touch until the next opportunity arises.

When you create a candidate pipeline, you avoid starting every recruitment process from scratch.

By keeping an ongoing pool of potential candidates who have already expressed interest in working with your organisation, or whose skills align with your future workforce needs, you’re building a smart recruitment strategy that can work in your business’s favour.

But what makes a strong candidate pipeline?

It can include:

• Active job seekers
• Previously interviewed candidates
• Temporary workers
• Referrals
• Industry professionals who may be open to new opportunities in the future

The goal is simple: reduce the time and effort required to find quality candidates when a position needs to be filled.

You may be a good fit for that role, but your resume didn’t show the recruiter why.

If your experience and skills can tell different stories, you may need to tailor your resume to the roles you’re applying for, according to Becky Graham in a Glassdoor article.

“Build a version for each persona you've held and pick the one that matches the job in front of you, not the one that flatters you most”, she said.

Rather than sending out a high number of resumes, spend some time adjusting the key information to suit each position.

“Small, honest adjustments take minutes and prevent the mismatch that makes strong candidates look unqualified on paper,” said Becky.

When circumstances aren’t ideal, that’s often when you’re giving it your all.

Being productive and performing at your best when life is good is one thing. But pushing through and carrying on during challenging times can take everything you have.

When you feel like you’re not delivering or achieving enough, or you think a colleague or friend isn’t, take a moment to think about what might be going on behind the scenes.

Maybe you, or that person, are already giving your best considering what you’re facing right now.

So, before being hard on yourself or somebody else, look at the whole picture. Our personal and professional lives affect one another, and sometimes simply carrying on takes more than we realise.

If you want to learn how to support someone who may be struggling, you can learn how to ask R U OK?

More than meeting compliance obligations, health, safety and wellbeing are at the heart of workplaces people want to join and stay in.

And that has an impact on your recruitment processes.

When your recruitment processes reflect real safety standards, respect physical and mental health, and support wellbeing from day one, what do candidates and employees see?

• Safer workplaces
• Better mental and physical health
• Clear expectations
• Greater job satisfaction

They feel valued and protected.

And what are the long-term benefits for employers?

• Lower incident rates
• Better retention
• A stronger safety culture
• Higher engagement

Employers gain consistency, performance and trust.
