  • Recruitment/Search & Placement - When searching for better people who have the ability to grow and add value to your business, Rural Directions can help.  With more than 2,500 candidates in our talent bank who have been screened as potential candidates, we are able to search and find the right candiate for any job placement you are wanting to fill. We can customise our solutions to meet your business requirements.  An example of some of these services include:
    • Job Specificiation/Scoping – We will come out to your property and talk to you about the position that you have available, then create a job description with clear key performance indicators that you will be able to use to measure the performance of your new employee
    • Professional Advertisement creation -  We will advertise the position on our website as well as in a range of industry specific sites and mediums. We offer complimentary advertising under some circumstances as well as access to reduced advertising rates.
    • Interviewing Services -  Comprehensive interviewing is the key to fully understanding the candidates’ drivers and ideal work environment. Once you understand the attitude of a candidate you can then assess suitability for particular roles and understand the persons ability to function in a given environment. Rural Directions has invested in making sure we are industry leaders in making these assessments.
    • Pre-employment services – It’s considered best practice in professional recruitment to perform pre-employment background checking. Rural Directions can deliver any of these verifications from criminal, financial, ACC and driving record checks to psychometric testing on any candidates that you are interested in employing. We are in a position of responsibility in dealing with both the candidate’s careers and employer’s assets and having these verifications will assist in protecting your business from future surprises.
