Recruiting experts in Launceston
Recruiting experts Hays have opened an office in Launceston in response to jobs growth for qualified, professional and skilled people.
Hays will recruit experts for the accountancy & finance, office support, contact centres, information technology, human resources, energy, resources & mining and trades & labour markets.
Tim James, Senior Regional Director of Hays in Launceston, said an increase in local staffing requirements is the result of the state’s construction and mining sectors. “A revived resources sector and large-scale infrastructure projects have lifted jobs growth and opportunities in the North and North West,” he said.
“Employers in the local region are recruiting, the economy is growing, infrastructure projects are going ahead and government support is available for key industries. This is fuelling a rising local jobs market for skilled professionals, particularly Project Managers and Senior Infrastructure specialists in IT, and Project Managers across design, construction and electrical contracting. Financial and Management Accountants with industry experience are also sought.
“Sourcing this expertise for local employers is a key feature of the Hays service.
“By opening an office locally (Hays has been established in Hobart for six years), we will be closer to our clients and candidates and can better service our state-wide client base,” said Tim.
On the mainland, Hays is considered the recruiting experts across a range of industries and professions and unparalleled recruiters in the world of work. Hays operates from 400 offices in 28 countries worldwide, so brings deep expertise and a strong track-record to Launceston.
“We have access to a national and international database of skilled candidates, who contact us when they want to relocate to Launceston and greater Tasmania. This means we attract the calibre of candidates required to achieve lasting impact in the local region.
“By opening in Launceston, we’re demonstrating a commitment to the local market and a belief in its ongoing strength,” said Tim.
The new office will be managed by Tim Smith and will open with an initial team of three recruiting experts.
The Launceston office will be located at Level 1, 6 Willis Street, Launceston. Call 03 6333 9400 or email launceston@hays.com.au
