The bleak predictions for the Queensland unemployment crisis seem to have fallen by the wayside.
Whilst recruitment agencies are finding it more competitive, Axis Recruitment (Axis) on the Gold Coast is prospering after opening its doors in July 2009.
Gold Coast based Axis Co-founder Marc Vella believes that recent difficult times have forced businesses to return to recruitment agencies to manage their hiring as workloads become too demanding.
According to Mr Vella, businesses are searching for candidates who not only possess good technical abilities, but who also have the right cultural fit for the organisation.
“They put a high value on the right attitude, and on finding people with something to really add to the business,” said Mr Vella.
Axis has a niche focus in the accounting, office support, finance, health, and hospitality industries, which allows them to source specialists within these fields.
“Because Axis Recruitment has in depth knowledge in the hospitality, health, finance and accounting industries, we can source the right candidates for really complex briefs," Mr Vella said.
In difficult financial times, Axis has secured a strong market position by offering competitive pricing and personalised service to its clients as opposed to expanding the organisation.
Mr Vella highlights the three focal strengths of Axis as recession-busting fees, mobile service, and a strong candidate and employee-orientated focus.
Axis also offers premium services and a choice of packages to suit the employer’s needs and budget, which other agencies do not do.
“Many QLD recruitment companies work off a percentage of 13% to 22%, whereas our fees are almost half that,” said Mr Vella.
Mr Vella who overseas the Gold coast operations has extensive experience in the hospitality industry in conjunction with a dynamic background with major recruitment agencies.
Axis attributes its success to adding value to recruitment services in terms of speed and quality of responsiveness and experience.
