You Don’t Need More Applicants. You Need the Right Applicant.

Hiring staff can look simple from the outside.

Post a job advertisement. Wait for applications. Review resumes. Make a few calls. Arrange an interview. Hire someone.

In reality, businesses often find themselves receiving dozens — sometimes hundreds — of applications, only to discover that very few candidates actually meet the requirements of the role.

At CT Labour Hire & Recruitment, we know that successful recruitment isn't about attracting the highest number of applicants.

It's about finding the right applicant.

More Applications Can Mean More Work

Online job advertising has made it easier than ever for people to apply for roles.

That's great for job seekers, but for employers it can create a completely different challenge.

A single vacancy can quickly generate a large number of applications, and someone still has to work through them.

That means reviewing resumes, checking experience, making phone calls, confirming availability, discussing pay expectations, checking licences or qualifications and working out whether the person is genuinely suitable for the position.

And after all that, the candidate may no longer be available, may not answer the phone or simply may not be the right fit.

For busy managers and business owners, that process can take valuable time away from actually running the business.

Recruitment Is More Than Posting a Job Ad

At CT Labour Hire & Recruitment, finding staff involves much more than placing an advertisement and waiting for applications.

Our recruitment team works to understand what the client actually needs before we begin searching.

What experience is essential?

What licences, tickets or qualifications are required?

What hours will the employee work?

Is the position temporary, ongoing or permanent?

What type of person is likely to work well within the existing team?

Once we understand the role, we can focus on finding candidates who are genuinely worth speaking to.

That may include new applicants, existing candidates already registered with CT, previous workers, referrals or people within our recruitment network.

The goal isn't to send a client a pile of resumes.

The goal is to find staff who suit the role.

We Do the Legwork

Recruitment can involve a lot of behind-the-scenes work before a candidate ever reaches a client.

Our team can assist with advertising, reviewing applications, speaking with candidates, screening experience and availability, shortlisting and coordinating the next steps.

Clients can be as involved in the process as they want to be.

Some businesses prefer to review shortlisted candidates and conduct their own interviews.

Others simply want to tell us what they need and have our recruitment team do the searching.

Either way, our job is to make the recruitment process easier.

Labour Hire or Permanent Recruitment

Every vacancy is different, which is why CT Labour Hire & Recruitment offers flexible recruitment solutions.

We can assist businesses with temporary labour hire, ongoing workforce requirements and permanent recruitment across industries including construction and civil, warehousing and logistics, manufacturing and production, transport, trades, technical roles and administration.

Businesses can also choose to trial a potential employee through labour hire before making a permanent commitment, giving both parties an opportunity to see how the arrangement works in the workplace.

We Find Staff

Finding employees isn't necessarily difficult because there aren't enough applicants.

Sometimes the real difficulty is identifying the right person amongst them.

That's where a recruitment partner can help.

At CT Labour Hire & Recruitment, we take the time to understand the vacancy, speak with candidates and work towards connecting the right people with the right opportunities.

So if you're spending too much time reviewing applications and not enough time finding suitable candidates, talk to our team.

You don't need more applicants. You need the right applicant.
