We’ve come a long way from sifting through the classified ads section in newspapers and looking for ‘Help Wanted’ signs around the city. Nowadays, the most common way to look for a job is through online job boards. These were designed to streamline the application process and make it easier for job seekers and employers. But with thousands of job boards, which one is the right one to use?
In your job search, you would have almost definitely come across at least one of the big players like SEEK, Indeed or Adzuna, and surely dozens of other SEEK competitors. But did you know that there are real alternatives that might be a better fit, especially if you are looking for roles in a specific field. In particular, recruitment agencies like Aston Advantage that recruit specifically for roles in the Australian Mining and Construction industries, from CEOs to drillers offsiders, and everything in between.
Here are three reasons why these specialty recruiters like Aston Advantage can provide a better and more effective alternative to the ‘generic’ job boards:
1. We’re Specialists
Why ‘generic’? There aren’t many differences between most job boards. Their website displays thousands of job postings from companies worldwide. On some job boards, you may even find the same listing. But why bother reading through thousands of listings if you don’t want to move halfway around the world and only want to find a specific job?
Aston Advantage only shows job listings specific to mining and construction in Australia. So if you’re looking for a role as a driller’s offsider in Perth, or a warehouse technician in Brisbane you can find a list already narrowed down to your specifications on our website.
And because we’ve helped job seekers find mining and construction jobs since 2008, we understand mining and construction industry challenges better than any other recruiter. So whatever challenges you face with recruitment, we’ll be in your corner ready to help.
2. We’re Your Partners
Speaking of being in your corner, one thing that other online job boards miss is providing job seekers with the support they need. Other recruitment agencies will show you listings and send you alerts, and that’s it.
But we’re not your standard recruiters who want to churn through roles, we want to help you turn a job into a career.
That’s why we take the time to get to know you — and we don’t just mean reading what’s on your résumé. It’s helpful to know your background, your interests, and your situation so we can find something you can grow into. When we understand where you are and where you want to go, we can find you a role that pays well and keeps you happy.
We’ll also make sure that you’re a good fit for the role and that the company does the right thing by you.
3. We Go Above and Beyond
Most recruitment agencies stop at helping you find a job. At Aston Advantage, we provide you with tools and resources to give you a competitive advantage and the support you need including interview and résumé assistance.
We also help make sure that you are the right fit for the position with the Aston JobFit™ Challenge — giving you a taste of what your new job will be like before you get on site.
While some job boards charge a premium for these services, we offer them free because we want to make sure you get the support you need.
