What To Do If There Are No Suitable Candidates For Your Role

With unemployment at low levels and a change in mindset after the pandemic, more people are reconsidering their work options. However, this hasn’t equated to more available candidates. Companies are finding themselves vying for a small pool of eligible applicants, making it difficult to obtain the perfect fit for your advertised role. You might find either that you only get a very small number of applicants or that you don’t quite get the right responses. S...

What People Are Looking For In Job Right Now

In a post-COVID society, how we work, where we work, who we work with, why we work, and the technologies we work with seem to be constantly in flux. Many of these changes started prior to the pandemic. However, being forced to work from home and being creative with how to manage teams remotely, accelerated many changes.

Is Your Temp Workforce Safe At Work?

How do you approach Health & Safety for your employees? How about for your temporary staff on site? Chances are, there’s a difference.  Temporary staff are as in-demand as ever. AND, employing temporary team members allows flexibility for all involved, plus is a leaner way to operate for many businesses.  But, concerns about the hazards and risks faced by the transient workforce have been growing due to the lack of sufficient H&S training for this group. At LD Recruit, we believe all...

How To Hire The Right Temp In A Labour-Short Market

Temporary staff have always been a great solution to fill gaps in your business. But, they have become increasingly hard to source these days. Why is that?Well, one of the main reasons is that our economy has recovered better than expected from the economic contractions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, with a record low unemployment rate of just 3.2%, we’re now looking at an economy with little spare capacity in the workforce. This means a shortage of temps, too. Many e...

How To Help Your Team Cope With COVID Change

Change has been so constant during the COVID-19 pandemic that it has almost become the norm! Especially at work. Lockdowns, working from home, reduced hours, reduced wages, back to the office, another lockdown, working from home again, working overtime at home, back to the office again in split teams, changed hours, split shifts… The way we work keeps shifting to adapt to the changes of this endlessly evolving pandemic. Even for the most adaptable among us, all this uncertainty has been u...

Hiring Temps: What You Can Expect From A Great Temp Agency Partner

Need a temporary employee? Your first step is to reach out to a temp agency. Simple, right? Not necessarily. Sometimes it’s not so simple. Unfortunately, not all temp agencies are created equally. Working with the wrong one can end up being a juggle where you invest as much energy, time and money as you might have if you’d just done the hiring yourself. Luckily, there’s a better way. We have unbundled all parts of the temp recruitment process. You can outsource as little or as much of the ...

10 Ways To Show You Value Your Staff

Did you know that some people in New Zealand are happy not to have to work right now?  With “the great resignation” sweeping the globe, work ethics are changing. People are less willing to remain in a job where they don’t feel appreciated, with many preferring to go it alone – or remain unemployed - than stay in an unfulfilling role. If you have an excellent team, it’s vital to value your staff and make them feel loved. Loyal, hard-working employees are your greatest asset, so mak...

Why Is Your Employer Brand So Important – Especially Now?

Is your organisation a great place to work at? You may think so, but do your employees agree? And how do potential candidates perceive your business? While most companies put great effort into developing their customer-facing brand, many forget about their employer brand.This can be a costly mistake, especially in the current climate, where top talent is hard to find.
