In the retirement village sector, recruitment has traditionally been a reactionary function: filling roles as they become available.
With unemployment now below 4% nationally, businesses find themselves operating in a competitive labour market, which means they need to be working harder to find good talent to bring into their business.
This is where James Teodoro (pictured) comes in.
As the Recruitment Executive at DCM Executive Recruitment, James is finding immediate success through navigating a job market flooded with competitive professional roles. In short, he is finding quality candidates for operators and quickly.
“If you want to find the best people and bring them into your business, it's about more than simply placing an ad on SEEK,” said James.
“Through the practices DCM Executive Recruitment has in place, we are able to find the people you often can’t.”
Speaking at the LEADERS SUMMIT, James shared that success often comes through sourcing talent with transferable skills, and sharing with them everything the retirement living sector has to offer.
“There are people out there who, when you speak to them about retirement living, whether it be in a Village Manager’s role or even some of the executive opportunities available, they are attracted by the diversity of the work, and the overall purpose of what this sector is about.”
