求才若渴 昆州雇主抢人才花样百出   





2月18日消息，昆士兰州近年百业兴旺，劳动力市场供不应求，特别是酒店、旅游业及零售业。各公司为了招揽人才出尽法宝。有银行在酒吧举行招聘晚会，到场人士一律获免费饮料款待。有雇主为觅得人才更不惜工本，想出“未开工先付工资”等招聘新招。

据《Courier Mail》报道，随着经济日渐好转，昆士兰州上月失业率只有4％，不少行业出现人才荒。各行业雇主为招聘人手绞尽脑汁，甚至提供每日新鲜水果、按摩及个人培训等福利。

澳洲联邦银行CBA在布里斯班一间酒吧举行招募人手晚会，结果在到场的130人中，成功招募到至少10名适当人选。其中获聘的Tamika Matheson表示：“这与传统的面试方式很不同，不会令人紧张得手心冒汗。”由于这个招聘晚会颇为有效，该银行已决定在黄金海岸和其它州举行更多同类活动。






EASIER than speed dating . . . Tamika Matheson signed on with the Commonwealth Bank after a recruitment night and free drinks at a Brisbane city bar. So desperate are employers that they'll use free alcohol to lure workers.



昆士兰商会主席Beatrice Booth表示，随着劳动力巿场的竞争愈趋激烈，雇主难免要出奇制胜。“有雇主不惜多次派员游说人才加盟，甚至愿意在他们上班前先付部分工资。”

尽管看起来一片荣景，但Beatrice Booth却指劳动力巿场“已面临灾难边缘”，因为不少劳动人口将会被愿意付上厚薪的雇主吸纳，令更多行业陷入求才若渴的困境。

昆士兰求职顾问公司Talent2总经理Craig Sneesby也警告，当地雇主正身处一场国际化的“招募战”，因为不少海外雇主也正在积极招揽澳洲专才。




Thirst for workersBy Melanie Christiansen

FREE alcohol, cash up front and even fruit are being used by employers desperate to beat the state's tight labour market.

One employer even booked out a Brisbane city bar and offered free drinks to get people to a recruitment night.

It worked for the Commonwealth Bank, which attracted 130 people and hired at least 10 of them. Its pitch to potential new employees included offering perks such as fresh fruit delivered daily, massages and personal training.

Commerce Queensland president Beatrice Booth said such incentives for workers were becoming common in a fiercely competitive jobs market.

She said other companies were going to even more extreme measures.

"Employers are resorting to paying people up front before they even start to actually take a job," she said.

Despite the so-called "golden hellos" and other worker incentives, Ms Booth said Queensland's booming economy had driven the state's labour market to "the brink of disaster".

Queensland's jobless rate for January was only 4 per cent.

But Ms Booth said worker shortages had impacted much more heavily in some sectors than others, with tourism, hospitality and retail sectors among the worst affected.

"Quite a few of our members have been reporting that they are scaling back their operations for lack of workers," she said.

"I don't think people have fully understood how much the mining boom has taken up those workers.

"Because of the money that's being offered, people are leaving all sorts of occupations to go there and make that money while it's there."

Queensland general manager of recruitment agency Talent2, Craig Sneesby, backed those concerns, saying the state's employment market was "as tight as it gets".

And he warned the war for talent was international, with some Australian professions suffering from aggressive overseas recruiting.

But for workers such as Tamika Matheson, the market is paying off. She was lured to the Commonwealth Bank's recruitment night with the promise of free drinks and music and, within two hours, she had bagged a new job.

"It was definitely different to the old formal interview with the sweaty palms and all nervous," she said. "It was actually very relaxed."

After the success of its recruitment drinks, modelled on the speed dating concept, the Commonwealth Bank is planning similar events on the Gold Coast and interstate.

"劳动力市场供不应求，特别是酒店、旅游业及零售业。"

要是多一些专业工的需求就更好了。
