"Hope all is well with you. I am just okay. I am still with Arup and enjoying what I am doing here. Just wanted to thank you again for the good and timely advice you gave me last year before you found a job for me with Arup. If you recall I initially wanted to get a PR before coming over and you said I would be better off coming on 457 and then applying for a PR. Well, I applied for a PR and it was granted last month. Looking back, I think it would have been a bit difficult to get a job now with the current GFC that has hit the economy.
Talking of the economy, you are in close contact with businesses, how are things out there? Do you see business starting to rectruit or things are still tight?"

"Personnel Concept has been invaluable to securing employment for me in Australia. From the beginning, it has paid careful attention to my requirements and requests, concerning not only my employment, but place of abode, commute options and times etc. Personnel Concept organised numerous interviews with prospective employers with expediency and efficiency, and went the extra mile to contact the interviewers and myself at least 15 minutes before the interview to make sure everything was in order.
Personnel Concept has continued to keep touch with me since I have arrived in Australia and started my job, enquiring if assistance is required, and ensuring things are going well.
I would not hesitate to recommend Personnel Concept to others."

"I found the staff from Personnel Concept to be extremely helpful during the time that I spent dealing with them whilst searching for a new job. From our first discussion, Personnel Concept was able to assess the type of role that I was seeking and took the time to understand my reasons for looking for another position. Personnel Concept was always available and happy to answer any questions that I had, which made the process of finding a new job and leaving my current one a lot easier than I could have imagined.
Personnel Concept was very professional at all times and constantly kept me updated on progress.
One thing that really impressed me was that Personnel Concept took a considerable amount of time on our first communication to find out more about my experience and what my preferences were in a new position.
We discussed at length what was available in the market and presented to me potential employers to get my feedback on if I had any priorities in employers."

"I have been in conversation with the staff from Personnel Concept for quite some time now, and during this time they have been very professional and helpful. I have also visited the Personnel Concept offices in Perth during my site visit with my new employer, and consulted with them in person, and found them to be very friendly and approachable, and someone you would like to deal with. They have attended to my job requirements quite well, even though they put Western Australia before Queensland, but mining positions in WA are very challenging and I think this is going to be a very good learning opportunity for me"

"The service I received from Personnel Concept was second to none. I submitted my resume and within a couple of days I was set up with an interview with a potential employer that suited my needs.
I was kept in touch with the progress of my application, and when it came time to negotiating my salary, Personnel Concept contacted me in order to confirm my asking salary and to help him build a case to affirm my salary requirements.
As a result, Personnel Concept had negotiated a suitable salary for me that I was pleased with, and with an employer that I was happy to work with.
I was also pleased with the outcome, as the other HR recruitment agencies were very slow with their progress and I had to continually contact them for updates on the progress of my application. Not only did they not keep in touch with me, but I had to harass them to apply for jobs on my behalf"
