Employers

Direction Changers assists Australian Employers to source highly skilled candidates from overseas to fill the vacancies that cannot be filled from the local labour market. Our recruitment service is complemented by our migration service to take away the difficulty and hassle away from your recruitment process. We do this by understanding your needs, wants and requirements in order to match them with the suitable high quality candidates.

Direction Changers provides complete immigration and overseas recruitment service. Our service includes:

• Recruitment service – finding and assessing the best candidates based on your needs, wants and requirements
• Migration service – managing the immigration process for you and your employee, including the business sponsorship agreements and preparation and lodgement of employer sponsored visa applications
• Relocation service – providing settlement assistance to your employee, making the transition as smooth as possible

In finding suitable candidates for your business, together with the technical ability or the job fit, we also consider if the candidates are a good organisational fit, often referred to as culture fit. This would align the candidate with the values of the company and mode of operation. It is important that the candidates have the right attitude and really wanting to contribute to the success of the business. Workplace knowledge, intellectual capital, individual and organisational qualities represent the competitive value propositions for most companies.

We believe that focusing on the culture fit together with other attributes of job fit allow us to find candidates that have the right attitude coupled with the skills thus, contributing to better performance and employee retention. Research shows that candidates that are selected also on the basis of culture fit, will contribute faster, perform better and stay longer. Research also shows that when new hires have failed, 89% of the time it was for attitudinal reasons and only 11% of the time due to lack of skill. This is why we in Direction Changers are extremely passionate to match suitable candidates with suitable workplaces, and spend the extra effort and time to ensure our candidates are both job fit and culture fit.

In assessing the candidates, we use a rigorous process to identify the candidates skills and experience together with their cultural fit. These include using behavioural interview questions especially targeting values, reference checking and cultural and motivational fit questionnaires. We aim to collect this same information from the organisation to compare with the organisation profile to identify areas of alignment and potential mismatch.
