Is your business looking for staff?

The newly launched Green-Life Careers website is continuing to increase in popularity. The Industry Employment pages have received over 1000 site hits over the past 8 weeks. The number of candidates looking for employment via the Jobs Wanted section, as well as the number of Jobs Vacant listings are steadily increasing as word gets out about the free listing service available to all industry stakeholders.

In a case study completed recently, Arborglen, the wholesale production nursery of Flower Power Group, was among the first businesses to post a vacancy advertisement on the site. With a team of 120 people, Arborglen supplies all 15 Flower Power stores across NSW and Victoria. When they recently sought to recruit a propagation assistant to join the Glenorie-based team, they approached NGIA to post an ad on the website.

HR Manager Ainsley Simpson says: “In terms of potential, we are excited about the site. We certainly will be using it in the future. It’s a great way to contact the people we are looking to recruit and the process couldn’t have been easier”.

The Green-Life Careers website aims to raise the profile of the Industry and stimulate broader interest in careers within the nursery and garden industry. The site is beneficial to both Industry employers and potential employees.
