SAVES YOU TIME, MONEY & RESOURCES FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Anticipating Labour needs, then handling all recruitment, selection, inductions and payroll can mean a black hole of time, money and resources will appear in your business.

When you work with a local Toowoomba labour hire company, you could have a new employee within a week. This meets your company's needs quickly and prevents you from losing valuable work hours as you look for a candidate.

This allows you to divert your own resources to other areas of the business. Saving money through reduced recruitment costs with a less likelihood of downtime when you hire through a professional agency.

  • 1-3 weeks: Post the job and wait for applicants.
  • 1-5 days: Look through resumes and narrow down candidates.
  • 1-3 weeks: Ask candidates to take additional tests or conduct phone interviews.
  • 1-3 weeks: Conduct in-person interviews.

Utilising the experts to help source workers for your next project is truly a smart business move.

FLEXIBLE AND RESPONSIVE TO FLUCTUATING BUSINESS NEEDS

Labour Hire is perfect for projects needing very specific skills in a timely manner.

In fact, the most common reason to use a labour hire company is to ensure you have adequate trades people to complete your project on time and to the quality and standard that you can feel confident in.

If you have a project that must be completed and one of your workers is injured, sick or away on leave. Then you can confidently and easily fill the temporary position. With a casual worker from a labour hire agency with the specific skills you require.

Perhaps you are looking for a unique skill set and you will only require it for a few weeks or similar. In such a case, labour hire is exactly what you want. In this service, you’ll be matched with a first rate worker who has the training and knowledge specific to your needs and who will get the job done successfully.

Labour hire simply offers the best form of flexibility available for even the most changeable projects in construction, redevelopment and more.

DGT Toowoomba Labour Hire division understands that projects can be very unpredictable by their very nature, with labour hire you have the flexibility of workers at your fingertips who can bend their schedules to suit. 

Perhaps your company requires a flexible workforce that can cope with changes in their demand for its services. By using labour hire you can expand their workforce to suit periods of high demand. As well as gaining access to the specialist skills of the staff resources within that of your Labour Hire company.

LEADS TO EXPERIENCED PERMANENT EMPLOYEES

Permanent recruitment is often designed to find a well-rounded employee who will be a great long-term asset to a team. Perhaps you avoid labour hire companies because you want a permanent employee, not a temp.

However, working with a labour hire company can help you find a permanent employee and help you feel more confident of your new employee's success.

You have the ability to inform the labour hire candidate that their position could turn into a full-time role if there is a good fit within the company. This means that you will actually get to see them working and be able to more fully determine whether they'll meet your company needs.

If it’s a YES than you simply offer them a full time role.  This process creates an easier transition for everyone since the employee already has experience doing the job.

THE CHOICE IS CLEAR

If you need a new employee right away, turn to a labour hire company. They can save you time and money and help you find the right candidate. Marsha Schwenke DGT's key contact for labour hire enquiries as the Employment Services Co-ordinator says;
