February 2010 Newsletter

Beaumont News Round Up from Emily Wheeldon, CBD Branch Manager

January was an exciting month for Beaumont Consulting, we had three members of staff who left us to begin their maternity leave Sian Keegan, Angelina McMenamin and Debbie Jenkins . So far we have had two new arrivals, both Sian and Debbie have given birth to baby boys and Angelina is due anytime in the next couple of weeks, also expecting a boy.

Business has been picking up fast since we all returned from the Christmas break. The number of live vacancies have tripled in the last few weeks and in particular our IT Division has an abundance of opportunities which is fantastic for such a new division. Other exciting news is the launch of our newest division, Property & Construction.

This new division has been kick started by myself and Rachael Burling who has come from a Property Consulting background. We have already made some great contacts within the industry and are working on a number of live vacancies in Property Management and Facilities which is a fantastic start!

We have some new faces at Beaumont Consulting who have joined the business in the last few weeks. Katie Newell is our new, fabulous Receptionist who you will no doubt have the pleasure of speaking with when you call into the city office. Justine McKnight has joined us with over 3.5 years experience in Accounting & Finance Recruitment. Stacey Lang has joined the team and is breaking into a new territory for the business in South Sydney with a view to opening up our third branch in mid 2010.

We have also had another new starter, Ann Kingston who will be based in our Chatswood office and working within the IT Division specialising in Software Development and Business Intelligence along side Julian Fellows.

The office re-furb’s are well under way in both our Chatswood and City branches. We have confirmed that we will be taking over further office space in the city adjacent to our existing office which means we can create a further 12 positions within the business as well as a fantastic new thirty seater board room which will enable us to provide more client training on site later in 2010.

We wish you all a successful and rewarding February 2010.

Regards
Emily

Diary of a Registering Temporary Worker

The Beaumont Registration Process:

Our approach is to provide a more personal service, to build strong relationships and develop an understanding of your experience, needs, interests and career objectives.

The registration process at Beaumont Consulting is both easy and thorough. This week we have met a fantastic candidate and recorded her experience of the registration process…….

Preparation:

To ensure that we place you in the most appropriate work, we need to obtain as much relevant information about you as possible. Therefore a clear and up to date resume is essential. This and the registration process will help us to understand your preferences, skills and past experiences. All are essential details which help us match you to the right opportunities.

Step 1 - Sending Your Resume

Forward your resume through the Beaumont Consulting web-site www.beaumontconsulting.com.au

Step 2 - Arranging An Appointment With A Member Of Our Team

Contact Beaumont Consulting to notify us that you have submitted your details. You will be put through to a Temporary or Permanent Services Consultant to discuss your requirements and availability. If they are confident that they can help you in your search for work they will arrange an appointment for you to come in to the office and register your details.

Step 3 - Initial Registration

During your appointment with Beaumont Consulting you will be asked to complete registration forms. These are a mixture of your personal details, bank and tax details (if you are registering for temporary work) our employment agreement and OH&S guidance.

You will need to bring one of the following forms of identification when you register with Beaumont Consulting:

· A current Australian passport, or

· An Australian birth certificate and photo ID, or

· A current passport with relevant work visa

Why do we ask for this information?

We are obligated as an Employment Agency under the Migration Act 1958 to confirm that all candidates we register have the right to work in Australia. We do not discriminate and ask that all candidates who register, including Australian Citizens, bring in the relevant form of ID. Please contact your consultant immediately if you are unable to provide ID requested.

Step 4 - Assessing Your Skills

You may be asked to undertake some skills assessments which will make sure we have a better understanding of your capabilities. These assessments will be in line with you experience and the type of work that you are looking for. You will have access to the results and we may also share them with clients in order to promote your skills.

Step 5 - Interview With Us

Once you have completed your forms and assessments your consultant will interview you. The interview is designed to be relaxed and an opportunity to understand your experiences, the type of work that you are looking for and the types of companies that you wish to work within. We need to understand your strengths and any areas where you need to develop in order to put you forward for the most appropriate roles.

During the interview your consultant may give you advice and guidance on your resume, the types of work that Beaumont Consulting currently have available and current market trends. Most importantly, you will be given advice on what to expect from us, and the best way to manage the relationship with your consultant.

Step 6 - Our Ongoing Relationship

Your consultant will keep in touch with you and notify you as soon as suitable opportunities arise. As specialists in our field we combine our experience and knowledge of the market place and our pro-active approach to enable us to open doors for you by tapping into the unadvertised job market.

We are proud of the service we give to clients and candidates, and hope this introduction gives you an insight into our commitment to achieving consistently high standards in each and every one of our recruitment assignments.

Our Not For Profit Department got more than they bargained for at a recent meeting with the Director of Cancer Charity, Can Too......

Janine Runaghan from our Not For Profit team recently met the Director of Can Too, part of the Cure Cancer Australia Foundation and felt inspired to do something for this brilliant charity. She has now signed up to run the half marathon at Blackmores Sydney Running Festival (21 km) as well as roping in an additional two members of the Beaumont Team for the event!

By Janine's own admission, she estimates that she can jog no more than about 500m non-stop without keeling over, possibly less, and those who know her well know that she HATES running!! However, this is a brilliant cause and we are all very much behind her.
