In my close to 10 years with RecruitWest I have always recommended to new employees to be smart about their super.

“Happiness is a mood, not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry, it’s not permanent, it comes and goes and that’s ok."
I heard this wonderful quote on a TV show years ago and it stuck with me because of how true it is.
I read an article a little while back called “Tips Around Selecting the Right Agency” which I wanted to share with everyone for all the wrong reasons and pull the article apart. When I read back over the article I realised it wasn’t actually a bad article and had some good information, it was simply the title that was wrong! If the article had been called for example “Tips Around Selecting an External Recruitment Consultant” the information would’ve fit, just not to selecting an agency.

When you choose to work with a job agency you can be confident that the employment needs of your business will be met. There are however a few ways to further improve your relationship with job agencies so that the process is as perfect as it can be, each and every time.
With unpredictable and irregular patterns of work in conjunction with a high unemployment rate, labour hire employees are finding it more difficult than ever to live the great Australian Dream.

Equal pay for equal work. In some industries there is a pay gap favouring men.
Women in Australia have been fighting for the right to equal pay since early this century. The principle of equal pay for equal work was recognised in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
in 1948. Since then, women’s right to equal remuneration has gained increasing international support.
5 Ways to Handle Negativity in the Workplace
What a great little article this turned out to be! Point one is something I strongly agree with - find the root cause and don’t just blame one single person! In my opinion and from experience this is what most managers tend to do with negativity in the workplace.
Ben de Chanéet, our South West Operations Manager, recently competed in the Lancelin Ocean Classic Windsurfing Race. The race had to be rescheduled to Sunday, the 18th January, due to there being no wind on the Saturday.
Competitors were greeted with light winds around midday, and the Organisers called the start time to be 1pm.
