Employer Benefits

The Sunshine Coast offers a wide range of career opportunities in diverse industries. However, with chronic staff shortages in many of these industries, we are seeing employers struggling to find staff, with many store windows displaying “Apply Within” job advertisements.

Using this form of advertising for staff is very hit and miss as it requires your perfect candidate to be walking past your store, preferably with a resume in hand. And if job seekers do turn up to apply, it means interruptions for you at times that may not be ideal (like when you’re serving customers).

If you are already advertising online, given the current difficulty to find great staff, the more places you can be seen, the better!

What can we do for you?

Let's look at this in different tiers of opportunity.

#1 Set and forget

The simplest and fastest option is to create a profile and let potential candidates know the types of jobs you have available in your business. Take five minutes and upload a logo, copy and paste some content from your website and nominate the job opportunities on offer.

This option allows you to be found in the employer directory but you will only be found in searches for the job types you nominated.

Total Cost: Free

#2 Post an Advert

The next step up from ‘set and forget’ is to post specific job advertisements, allowing you to capture and track applicants. These advertisements are not only posted on the Sunny Coast Jobs site but also on other sites like Indeed.com and the Sunny Coast Jobs’ Facebook page, further increasing your reach.

A benefit of choosing this option is that now you are building your own database of potential candidates to draw from next time you are hiring or have a shift to fill. Simply search the candidates who apply and reach out to them via your account portal.

Total Cost: Free

The above two options provide recruitment processes without being charged a cent. All you need to do is set up your profile today. For ‘do it for you’ options, read on…

#3 Professional Recruitment Services

We offer support for those employers who are too busy to undertake all of the processes themselves. Once you log in as an Employer, you can review the full list of services available and the corresponding investment but here are examples of what’s on offer…

Some examples...

Boosted Facebook Adverts

The 5300+ candidates who follow the Sunny Coast Jobs Facebook page often share jobs or tag their friends and family but by boosting a job advertisement post, you can reach an even wider audience. For this service we charge 10% of your ad spend with a minimum charge of $18 + gst. Your investment includes wider exposure, feedback on how you can improve your ad and screen shots of the analytics Facebook will provide.

Reference Checks

Hiring without reference checks is a path to recruitment failure...expensive failure. We can save you time and reduce your risk by using our ??+ years of human resource experience to reference check your potential candidates. We’ll ask the right questions to make sure you get the right staff.

Payroll ~ on your books

Payroll processes, compliance and reporting can be a headache! Let us take care of it for you. Using online timesheets and 24/7 reporting, we can manage all aspects of your payroll and at the end, hand you a bank file, PAYG report, superannuation, payroll tax and more. We ensure compliance, file your payroll with the ATO and manage all of the employee requests for copies of payslips.

Payroll ~ on our books

This is the same as the previous payroll option but instead we provide the employee. We collate all their employment documentation, pay them and hand them over to you when you are ready for them to start.

This option can also be used if you’d prefer to trial an employee or set a probationary period before you transfer the employee from our books to yours (we can also help with the transition).

Or you might want to have a traditional ‘labour hire’ arrangement because of fluctuations in your needs. We will try to keep them working in the down times so you don’t lose them.

We charge flat fees instead of margin based fees (create a profile and log in to see what we mean by this).

These are just a few of the ways we can help. By all means, take advantage of the free options we provide for as long as you need. If you’re looking for other human resource support not mentioned here, then drop us a line and we’ll do our best to find efficient and cost-effective options for you.

Recruiters & Employment Agencies

All of these services are available to you too. We would rather collaborate on roles that we source than compete with you. To undertake the work we do we require a labour hire license but that isn't our core business model. If you have any questions then reach out and we can answer them. It may be that we already integrate with your ATS/RMS so you can use the SunnyCoastJobs brand without having to do more than sign up and use your own system.
