Summary
It is ideal for frontline staff who are advising clients on the application process and what they need to do to avoid being rejected by online application / recruitment databases / HR Software.
Have you and your client ever pulled together a great job application, flicked it off, waited, waited and waited, and received no reply? These days many organisations use HR Software to screen out documents based on formatting, lack of key words and other things that you may not be aware of.
The change from human eyes reviewing the initial application to computer software analysing the application has changed the way successful applications are formatted. This webinar will provide an understanding of those changes and how they are impacting on your clients success.
It will make you look at addressing criteria and your resume templates in a whole new light.

- An understanding of how online applications are processed by screening software – essential to know so your clients aren’t screened out on the first pass
- The importance of key words in your job seeker’s application – and matching these to the advertisement or industry that they are applying for
- Formatting and making things pretty – why this doesn’t work with online applications. Fonts to use, and fonts not to use!
- Keeping it simple – how irrelevant or complex information on your online resume or application can be hurting your client’s chances of ending up on the ‘yes’ list
- Resume – the do’s and the don’ts, how to address gaps in employment history and how to adapt your resume to specific job applications.

Reverse Marketing with Intent webinar
Monday 27 July 2020
12 noon AEST (11:30am SA & NT and 10am in WA)
Target Group
Frontline staff
Summary
In this webinar Matt Luttrell will discuss reverse marketing strategies to place priority jobactive and DES job seekers into the hidden job market. The focus is on making contact with specific employers. It will explore getting the job seeker and employment services practitioners ready to make a reverse marketing call, and how to manage the call including handling objections.
The focus of this webinar is not on vacancy development for job matching. So what can you expect? It will cover becoming “one” with the employer so that we understand the fit with the employee and the new opportunity that presents. Reverse marketing isn’t all about providers getting a placement, it’s much bigger than that! The placement is the result – the real key is understanding what the employer is looking for and matching a strong candidate to an opportunity
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
- Preparation is key
- Be in a positive mindset
- What approaches have the best results
- What to look for, what to listen for
- What is the best way to respond to objections

Target Group
Frontline staff & Site Managers
Summary
Systematically addressing the reasons that job seekers put forward for not being gainfully employed goes hand in hand with being an Employment Consultant. But what do we do when the problem is much more complex? We need to become more curious about our participants. What are their barriers? How are these barriers affecting the job seeker’s life? How have they tried to address the barriers in the past? To be effective, we must explore, investigate, understand… engage with our participants.
Our webinar is aimed at front line staff and site managers who are experiencing this issue and would like to explore some workable options. It will discuss re-engagement strategies that really work.
WHAT YOU will hear about
- Identifying & addressing complex barriers
- Understanding the reluctant participant
- Building harmonious and sustainable relationships
- Moving the reluctant participant towards employment (are we thinking outside of the box?)
- Change Plan Action (what is it? how does it work?)
