Testimonials

"I would highly recommend Personnel Concept to anyone who is looking for a new job.

Personnel Concept was recommended to me by a friend. Following his recommendation, I emailed Personnel Concept and was contacted by an Industry Specialist on the same day.

They took the time to meet with me in person and discuss over the phone exactly what experience I was looking for from my next employer. From these conversations it was clear to me that they understood not only what I wanted, but he had very good knowledge of which firms could provide such experience. As a result, Personnel Concept was able to keep me up to date with opportunities that matched my preferences and didn’t waste my time with those that didn’t. They also provided helpful insights into firms that I was less familiar with.

Once we identified the right opportunities they helped me prepare me for interviews and provided helpful tips regarding psychometric testing.

Fortunately, I was successful in finding the right job.

I am very grateful for the professionalism demonstrated by the staff at Personnel Concept throughout the process."

"I have called [manager] and passed on my feedback to him but just wanted to reiterate how impressed I have been with your service. You were always on the ball ensuring that everyone was on the same page, keeping me informed continually as to where things were at and I feel that the positive result is to a large part attributable to your efforts."

"[Consultant] took the time to listen to what I wanted in the next stage of my career, gave me good advice on how to add value to my employment skills and secured me an interview with a Big Four firm despite competition from numerous other candidates. [Consultant] is always pleasant to talk to and is the consummate professional. [Consultant] guided me through the various stages in my career move and gave me tips on how to handle difficult interviews and the sensitive resignation process. [Consultant] never failed to follow up after each interview and was genuinely happy that I landed my dream job with their help. Definitely the person I would turn to if I need career advice."

"Personnel Concept was very professional for the whole process of my job search. From the initial enquiry, and many emails, conversations and texts I was able to find a suitable job within a week. They were very prompt with their responses and were very friendly. Nothing was ever a problem for them. Personnel Concept offered me plenty of worthwhile information and wisdom, and even guided me through the resignation process which was a little difficult for me as I had been with my current employer for over 5 years. I was able to ring them at any time, if I had any questions, which made me feel very connected so as I understood every part of the job search process. At times I even felt that Personnel Concept's consultants were more of a friend than someone working for a recruitment agency. I would highly recommend Personnel Concept to anyone who is searching for a job."

"I have recently used the services of Mariam Awad of Personnelconcept and believe that the service provided was excellent.

I am based in the NT, and wanting to move back to Victoria, I was impressed that I received a response to my resume within 12 hours, had a telephone interview with Mariam that morning. She arranged to have my resume submitted to multiple firms in the areas that I was looking for (rural victoria). I received a telephone interview from one firm shortly thereafter and received an email with various interview questions, plain English explanations of the questions, and could then generate a series of useful responses.

I then received a request to travel to victoria to attend a few face to face interviews, and despite the fact I don't have a lot of spare money, I was offered some assistance to attend these interviews. There were 4 suitable interviews set up over two days in two locations that were arranged on my behalf and went very well. After each interview I received a call and debrief of the interview and how I felt it went. Later on I received another call regarding how the interviewers felt I interviewed.

The next day I received notification that the firm I liked best had offered me a position, and knowing that Mariam had taken my minimum salary expectations into account and ensured that the offer exceeded these was excellent.

I am extremely impressed with the level of service and assistance that I received from Mariam and the rest of her team and have no problem in recommending her to any other accounting job seekers."

"Personnel Concept provided frank, informative, and intelligent advice, whilst guiding me through my employment transition. They were extremely professional and genuinely seemed to care that I found the right job. I highly recommend Personnel Concept."

"Thank you for your time and understanding today.

I am writing to thank you for all the effort you put into the job search for me. I valued your commitment and time greatly. I have worked with recruitment agencies before and below are a few points that I appreciated about working with you -

1. Your professionalism - you are very reliable in the fact that you phoned and emailed when you said you would. Each time I spoke with you, you gave me your undivided attention and showed empathy in finding me a job that suited me, not the job that would benefit you the most. Not to mention initially contacting me within 5 minutes of me applying to your advertisement on seek.

2. The modern way you approached your work - you understood that it wasn't necessary to have me come to your office and complete paperwork. From your initial contact via telephone you asked the relevant questions and my wishes for a career and contacted me via email and mobile phone, rather than wasting time in attending meetings. I have never met you, yet you managed to gain me an interview and job offer within one week!!

3. The way you view your job - on several occasions you mentioned to me that it was not your goal to gain me the job that benefited you the best. I appreciate the way you view your job as helping people rather than selling to people. This made me feel that I could be completely honest with you and know that my interests were your interests and I was not going to get pressured into anything.

Above all, you are an incredibly friendly and approachable person who shows passion and empathy in a job where often this is not the primary traits!

I have honestly enjoyed having you alongside me to help me find a job that best suits my needs. In the future, I will not hesitate to come back to you or recommend any of my friends.

Thank you again.
