HIRING & RECRUITMENT

How you go about hiring new employees is one of the more crucial aspects of the employment relationship.

Why? Because in our experience over 90% of employee problems can be traced back to what was said (or not said) and what was done (or not done) during the hiring process.

In our step-by-step guidance for employers we set out:

  • what to do
  • why you need to do it
  • how to do it
  • problems you can avoid

And we provide examples of job application forms and job offers.

Contracts of employment

If you are in any doubt about your job offer to a prospective employee, or contract of employment, contact us - (02) 9264 2000.

Through our consulting services we can help you decide what type of employment contract is needed, explain the reasons for the differences, and what they should contain.

What can go wrong when hiring?

When you hire someone you are entering into a legally enforceable contract with that person, even if nothing is written down. With today's tough employment laws, there's no room for not knowing, saying or doing the 'right thing'. A simple, or unintended oversight can cost you money.
