Slide 1

“Before working with Hill Consulting, our recruitment function was not centralised, inefficient, and far from best-practice. We were spending excessively with far too many agencies, had no preferred supplier agreements in place, had a long complex process and had no automation or online hiring practices. Hill Consulting’s audit helped us identify thirteen key changes that we needed to implement. Following the audit, we decided to purchase and implement a Candidate Management System and centralise the recruitment team. This provided much needed standardisation, greater efficiencies, and a more professional service to the business with significant cost benefits.”

Ted Bradshaw, HRD, Aurora Energy, Tasmania.
Slide 7

Having recently gone through this process with no prior experience or knowledge, I enjoyed getting a better understanding of the overall process, things I could improve on in the future, and also things that I unknowingly did well. Gave me confidence if I was to need to recruit
again in the near future.
