What past exhibitors have to say about the expo
"We have exhibited with Working In on numerous occasions over the past four years and have found them to be extremely well organised and have an ability to generate a high calibre of applicants through their advertising."
Rachel Baldy, Hays Globalink
“Do your preparation and plan for volumes! We have had interest from over 1000 international candidates as a result of our involvement in the Working In expos. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. We expect to place 50 candidates from our participation in these expos. Additionally, we have opened up a new major sourcing channel from which we expect to make further placements via referrals.”
Samantha Cummins, Woolworths Ltd
“At the Opportunities Australia Expos we were hoping to hire people and reduce the cost of hiring staff. We just paid a recruiter $35K for one hire with a mere three month guarantee! So far it seems possible. We would have spoken to 250-300 people, collected about 40 CVs and booked three interviews which we think we will hire. The quality of people that came to our stand has been very high. I would recommend the expos to people in the industry wanting to address the skills shortage in IT.”
Matt Sullivan, L7 Solutions Pty Ltd
“If you are serious about meeting your resource needs, then to participate in the Opportunities Australia Expo has to be part of your strategy.”
Mark Vining, Laing O’Rourke
“The expo has been a great success for Canberra. Hundreds of people have visited the stand. We have collected about 200 resumes of highly skilled people who matched the skill sets we are in desperate need of in Canberra.”
Simon Kinsmore, Live in Canberra – Government Dept
“Get on board! If you’re struggling to recruit, I would certainly encourage you to attend the expo, where you can learn about the people and their desires, have quality conversations, collect CVs, build a brand, and get candidates talking about your company. And it was fun!”
Danielle Cann, BHP Billiton
“PSS International are once again impressed with the number of serious migrants that the Working In Opportunities Abroad / Health Jobs Around the World Expos have attracted. We have been exhibiting with Working In since the outset, and can attest to the fact they have their finger on the pulse and always get the right people through the doors. The operations team on the ground never fails to impress. Thank you and see you again next year!”
Susan J Corke, PSS International Removals
“Ramsay is Australia’s largest private hospital operator with 65 hospitals across the country. There is a huge shortage of nurses in Australia. With the ageing population and more workers leaving the workforce than entering it, nurses are in even greater demand.
If we hire 10 people from Cape Town we will be very happy and as it is tracking at the moment, that seems very achievable. We have taken 25 CVs and spoken to over 100 people. We have already conducted two interviews and are ready to make offers with another 15 interviews to go. The quality has been excellent.”Ian Spargo, Ramsay Health Care Ltd More information – visit website
