If you are an employer

The Big Week of Work is a week long programme of Work Markets.A Work Market is designed to help you recruit jobseekers. The employment process is streamlined to maximise recruitment outcomes. We work with you to create a business or sector specific Work Market that delivers a recruitment and selection process which works for your business.

Preparing jobseekers for your recruitment and selection process

You need the right information to make your selection decisions and it is important that jobseekers are able to present this information easily and effectively. We will spend time with all the jobseekers to ensure they are ready to perform at their best throughout your selection process.

Attracting jobseekers to your business

Work Markets give you the opportunity to creatively promote jobs and careers in your business for maximum impact. Work Markets could include interactive employer presentations, work simulations or ‘have a go’ opportunities. You can deliver a Work Market exclusively for your business or we can help employers in the same sector work together.

Selecting the right people

With primed jobseekers and bespoke Work Markets all of the selection process can be carried out over the duration of the Big Week of Work.

Whether it’s your streamlined selection process or your creative attraction strategy we can help you design and deliver a resourcing solution at the Big Week of Work which works for your business.
