What our clients say

Slide 2

“For a strategic review - a key feature of Hill Consulting HRS is their total independence from any recruiter, recruitment process outsourcing or candidate management system provider. This ensures their complete objectivity and neutrality in assessing their clients’ recruitment needs, challenges and opportunities.”

Andrew Hall, Director, Sydney, NSW.
Slide 3

“Hill Consulting HRS have provided excellent solutions and service to our organisation. The flexibility and adaptability that was also provided made working with them so easy, given business priorities change and therefore the solutions provided at times had to also change.”

Sharyn Shultz, HRD, Sydney, NSW.

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.

FAQ's

How is this half-day program different from your other courses?

This program is set for senior Leaders and Executive managers who have limited time. It moves at pace so is covered in 4 hours (a half day program). But still covers all major areas leaders need to know about recruitment in 2024: The current marketplace, EEO and the law, Diversity and Inclusion, and how to maximise your interview and question structure and content.
