Posted on January 9, 2012 by Sales Source Australia

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone is looking for or wants full time work. For many different reasons, there are many

people who wish to work part time or casually. But it can be difficult to find these types of work on your own and that’s where a

temp agency can help.

Temp agencies can be a wonderful resource for both employers and employees. For those with particular skills and

experience, temp agencies can provide a great deal of casual work while providing employers with a suitable and

experienced option when their regular staff are unable to come to work.

Temp agencies can help many people find the job they are looking for, particularly on a casual or part time basis. One of the

reasons casual work is so difficult to find is that many employers and companies use temp agencies to temporarily solve their

staffing problems.

In addition to helping you find temporary work, a temp agency can help you with your résumé, applications and interviews.

Temp agencies have a vested interest in providing quality staff to the companies that hire them, and as such, work hard to

ensure they provide the right person for the job, each and every time.

If you have skills and experience that are useful in a temporary situation and are looking for casual work, then it is worthwhile

speaking to temp agency. You might be surprised at the amount and variety of casual work on offer, and it is certainly one way

to boost your income and your experience for when you are ready to take on a full time position.

Using a Recruitment Agency to Find Your Next Employee

Posted on December 9, 2011

Hiring a new employee can be a very time consuming job. From writing the ad and position description, to placing the

advertisements (either online or in print), then sorting through applications and résumés before holding interviews and finally

selecting the right person - just thinking about the process is tiring. Thankfully, there are people to do all the hard work for you.

Recruitment agencies can take care of this whole process for you and at a fraction of the cost of doing it yourself. Recruitment

agencies will assist you in writing the ad and position description, discuss with you what you are looking for in an employee

and can even help you handle the interviews and selection process.

Some companies and employers are turned off by the cost of using a recruitment agency, believing that the fee is not justified.

But when you consider the amount of time spent finding a new employee on your own (in term of both man hours and the cost

of advertising) then hiring a recruitment agency is much more economical.

When you are looking for a new employee, spend some time looking around for a recruitment agency first. It will save you and

the company time and money in the long run and the trained recruitment staff can help ensure you find the right person for the

job. Don’t suffer the hassle of trying to find quality employees yourself. Use a recruitment agency instead and let the trained

staff do the hard work for you.

Four Tips on how to Create a Commission Strategy

Posted on November 25, 2011

Here are some telltale signs that a sales position applicant is truly money motivated:

They ask money-related questions. When it’s their turn to talk, they might ask if the commission plan is capped. How much

does your top sales person bring in - and are there any special factors (longevity, special sales territory) that give the

top earner a special advantage? What does the average performer earn annually? Is there a Top earners Club? These

questions show they’re delving into what it takes to make money in the position.

They like what they buy with their money. If they talk about all the toys and fun stuff they want to buy with the commissions

you’re going to give them, it’s a good sign. Sure, they have to worry about paying for necessities like everyone else, but

they want to make even more money so they can buy a luxury car, or go on an exotic vacation. We’ve found money-

motivated people especially like gadgets. Do they pull out the latest iPhone and show you the great apps they’ve

downloaded onto it?

They started early. We’ve generally found that money motivated people have been earning money to buy things since they

were young. When their parents told them they couldn’t afford to buy them an Xbox, did they give up on it? Or did they

start delivering papers, mowing lawns or selling door-to-door to make the money to buy it?

They are obsessed with the methodology of closing sales. You may say your top sales person makes $150,000 annually.

Does the job candidate ask about how many cold calls your top person makes a week to get there? How do they split

their time between cold-calling and investigating leads? How do they get sales referrals? How do they create a sense

of urgency in a customer during a sales call?

Money-motivation is such an important theme in sales people that we’ve seen some companies go as far as to ask sales

candidates to submit previous Group Certificates so they can prove they’ve been able to earn the type of money they would

like to bring in now. A truly money-motivated person wouldn’t hesitate to turn them in. They’re already focused on going beyond

their proposed target to earn the type of money they want to make.
