Absolute Approvals
Certification, Consultancy & Access, Canberra ACT & NSW
Absolute Approvals is a compliance and building certification consultancy with offices in Canberra and Sydney. When they needed to grow their team, they were working in one of the thinnest candidate markets in the country.
The
Challenge
Almost no local candidates in Canberra for a specialist role.
Absolute Approvals needed BCA consultants, a Principal Building Certifier, Building Inspectors, and Cadets across ACT and NSW. The ACT candidate market is a fraction of what you would find in Sydney or Melbourne.
They were stuck. Without the right people, they couldn’t grow. And they hadn’t been able to find them.
Our
Solution
We went national and made the move make sense.
Rather than limiting the search to Canberra, Haste looked across Sydney and Melbourne for professionals with the right credentials and an openness to relocating.
The key was presenting the opportunity properly. Candidates needed a genuine reason to consider the move. We positioned the role and the business clearly, and every person who progressed was committed, not just available.
Final
Outcome
100% retention of all candidates placed.
Every person placed is still in the business. Across multiple hires, in a market most recruiters would have walked away from, the retention rate is 100%.
Absolute Approvals now has the team to service clients across ACT and NSW at the level they were always aiming for. Haste is the only recruitment partner that Absolute Approvals call.
