Our digital recruiter, Scarlett, and your local team of experts are here to guide you through our registration process.

Check out the steps below to learn more about what to expect when you apply to work with us!

 

Six Simple Steps to Your New Job

 

1. Multiple ways to get started

Firstly, if you are interested in working with us, you can search for Labourpower jobs on Seek or Indeed, apply for a specific role on our website, or ring your local branch.

Our team is always happy to discuss your needs and current opportunities and help you begin the registration process.

2. Screening with Scarlett

Secondly, our digital recruiter, Scarlett, will reach out to you to better understand your availability, skills, and experience. Interacting with Scarlett will help fast-track your application.

3. Complete the onboarding process

Once you have successfully concluded screening, Scarlett or one of our friendly team members will invite you to complete the application and online onboarding process.

At this stage, you will need to enter personal information, provide identification, check your working rights, and upload details of any qualifications/tickets. We will also collect your bank, tax, and super information to ensure your first payslip is correct.

*Please note that we store your data securely and do not share it with third parties.

4. Fit for work assessment & final interview

Next, our team will invite you to complete a medical questionnaire and undertake a fit-for-work assessment. This process involves performing a few simple movements, such as squatting and arm raises.

During this assessment, we will conduct a final interview to confirm that all your details are correct. We will also make sure you understand and are comfortable with your upcoming work options and next steps.

5. Host employer induction

You will then attend an induction at your host employer’s site. This experience helps ensure your role is an excellent fit. You will cover important pre-employment information, including workplace health and safety.

6. Start your new job!

The final step is to start your new role! Remember, you are welcome to contact your Labourpower representative with any questions or concerns or if you would like support anytime!

MEET SCARLETT: OUR NEWEST TEAM MEMBER

Posted on by Nicki Davies

Scarlett is the newest member of the Labourpower family working hard for you.

We are proud to introduce you to Scarlett and reveal that Labourpower is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to improve recruitment and selection processes, fast-track candidate onboarding and enhance overall customer experience.

And we’re also pleased to report that Scarlett is off to a flying start in her first six months:

  • Screening 14,000 candidates for 145 advertised jobs across Australia
  • Shortlisting close to 12,000 job seekers for new roles
  • Reconnecting with 4000+ candidates in our database looking for new work
SCARLETT IS THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF INNOVATIONS

Scarlett is the latest in a series of innovations with Labourpower adding leading artificial intelligence chatbot technology into our day-to-day operations, to help continually improve our:

  • Recruiting processes
  • Compliance, and
  • Quality

As a result, she is going from strength to strength:

  • Helping to match the right candidates to the right jobs
  • Working faster-around the clock 24/7 right across Australia

In addition, Scarlett has been busy:

  • Screening candidates for the equivalent of 17 hours a day, and
  • Reconnecting with candidates for another 13 hours a day over a 7-day working week
IMPROVING CANDIDATE ENGAGEMENT

Labourpower Managing Director Luke Webber says that AI technology is the obvious choice when it comes to improving how the company onboards its candidates, builds talent pools across the country and ensures that each client gets the right fit for their business.

“In a time of unique challenges, we are keen to develop new solutions that continue to enhance our ability to drive candidate engagement as well as ease some of the pressure on the Labourpower team,” he said.

“Labourpower’s Scarlett is an effective tool for candidate engagement with the ability to chat with each person colloquially. As a chatbot she will also continually evolve to make the onboarding  and screening process easier.”

24/7 SUPPORT AUSTRALIA-WIDE

Above all, Scarlett offers 24/7 support to candidates Australia-wide. Therefore, she is available to help job seekers find the right role any time of the day or night. So this is ideal for people who need to apply for jobs or require support outside of normal business hours.

Importantly, candidates will still be able to interact with Labourpower recruiters. Scarlett will simply manage some of the more time-consuming screening and administrative tasks.

Firstly, Scarlett’s focus in the initial phase of her roll-out was on candidate screening. Including, for example, collecting basic information and responding to general questions.

And now that Scarlett is in phase two of her development, she is also providing support that extends to the onboarding phase and helps the Labourpower team:

  • Prepare candidates to be placed into jobs as quickly as possible

Therefore, automating some of these recruitment processes will also provide the Labourpower team with more time in their day to focus on candidate and client-facing tasks such as:

  • Face-to-face interviews
  • Fitness for work screenings
  • Company inductions
  • Job orders
  • Compliance,  and more.
INVESTING IN LEADING RECRUITMENT TECHNOLOGY

Luke Webber says that as Labourpower continues to expand its capabilities and invest in leading recruitment technology, the company is excited to launch Scarlett.

“People continue to be our business and by leveraging this new AI powered technology, our team now has more time to focus on improving engagement strategies, building valuable relationships and enjoying greater job satisfaction,” he said.

“It’s all part of our commitment to finding new and innovative ways to ensure that people find the right jobs and that our clients have the edge when it comes to attracting and retaining quality candidates.”
