Don’t let a bad recruit drag your business down
When you're in business, you know how one bad recruitment decision can turn your business upside down. It affects team morale, productivity and, ultimately, your bottom line. And, if you're really unlucky, you could start losing the good team members you've invested in and nurtured already. Don't let this happen to your business.
Consider me your internal recruitment consultant. I’m representing you, your business and the rest of your team. I’ll help you onboard and keep the ‘right fit’ employees that will bring out the best in your business.
Melissa is very professional but also very personal, which makes her and Exceler8 a perfect partner for a branch of our size that wants the best for our team in terms of work environment, HR care and reassurance that they are heard and thought of by their management. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any other companies distracted in reaching targets and economical goals, needing some clarity with how they can change a more positive outlook and improve the day-to-day work environment.

Melissa and her experiences have been very exceptional. Not only do we know each other for a short time but her resilience and commitment is highly motivating and meets my expectations. I can't recommend anyone else in my network who would provide essential and accurate HR information, including very contentious information that I need to learn. If you are involved in tourism, disability and community services please choose her!

There’s no point finding your ideal employee if you can’t keep them

But don’t just take my word for it. Instead, let me share the real results that I have helped my clients achieve.
Attract & Keep Mini-Case Study
Industry: Global Logistics and Freight Forwarding
Size of business:4,300 employees across 5 continents
Problem:
The local branch of the business was expanding and staff turnover was increasing. Management training had never been undertaken, and there was no internal HR expertise to support this change and growth.
Actions:
All staff were interviewed to understand how they perceived their workplace. The results of the interviews showed that there were a number of misunderstandings due to a lack of formal communication and feedback. A number of skills gaps in the people leaders were also highlighted. All staff participated in a DiSC workshop to help improve communication, and all managers undertook a six-month coaching program.
Results:
Employee turnover decreased in the business, but it was more than that. The client gained a deeper understanding of what was happening for the team and was able to increase the capability of management. Now, the client is able to devote more time to running a profitable business.
Frequently asked questions
Great question! Your first instinct might be to outsource your recruitment to an external agency. After all, they’ll do the majority of the heavy lifting and have a talent pool they can quickly pull from. But that can be quite an expensive exercise, and it’s a one-size-fits-all approach with some agencies.
