The Employee Matters Team

Well-trained hiring managers are better prepared to evaluate candidates objectively and improve overall hiring decisions. Training also promotes a structured interview process, which leads to more reliable assessments and helps ensure compliance with employment laws. For newer managers, it serves as valuable professional development, helping them grow in their roles and contribute more strategically to the organisation's success. Ultimately, investing in interview training enhances the quality of hires and strengthens the company's talent acquisition strategy.  Employee Matters offers a range of training options with bespoke workshops available for one-on-one or group sessions.  

Employee Matters developed the Recruitment Partner Service (RPS) as a flexible alternative to agencies.  The RPS is a non-traditional, end-to-end recruitment solution that operates on a time basis. This service is designed to address the frustrations organisations often experience with the stratospheric costs charged by traditional recruitment agencies. Employee Matters performs all necessary recruitment tasks tailored to your specific needs, providing a cost-effective alternative to success fees and providing unrivalled value to our clients. This approach offers organisations the benefits of a dedicated recruitment expert without incurring traditional agency costs and can be utilised for one hire or many.  

Facing the challenge of needing to rapidly scale their service team within a tight candidate market, Zip Water (now combined with Waterlogic) turned to Employee Matters for recruitment support. Their dedicated recruitment expert seamlessly integrated into the team, acting as an effective "external internal recruiter." Understanding the business culture and building strong relationships, our expert successfully filled 17 diverse roles in just five months, crucially freeing up the internal HR team to focus on strategic integration during the business combination. Zip Water/Waterlogic highly recommends Employee Matters for delivering high-quality, culturally-fit candidates efficiently and at a fraction of traditional agency costs.

If you have friends or colleagues who could benefit from our services, we would love to be in touch with them to explain how we’ve seen great results with our clients and would love to do the same with them. Refer a friend today for an obligation-free chat with us about their HR and Recruitment challenges; we reward every Discovery Session with a gesture of our appreciation.
