| What is a Candidate?
A “candidate” is a public affairs professional who has registered with the company and had an interview (either phone or in person) with one of our recruiters. Once the interview is held, the individual is designated a “candidate” and is eligible to be put forward for roles we are handling for our clients. We only forward CVs of candidates we have interviewed, to our clients, as we want to ensure the best match and we learn a lot about you and your career aspirations during the interview. How Do I Check if I'm Registered? If you receive the Job Alert! directly from the company, then you will be a candidate. If you are unsure, either email recruitment@publicaffairs.com.au or call us on 1300 555 903 and we’ll quickly let you know. When Do I Hear from You? How Can I Improve My Chances?
If you keep us updated about your availability and send in an updated CV when you are ready to move, you also stay top of mind. Remember the key to all job searching is your availability, so if you let us know when your availability changes, it helps us to know when you are back “in the market”. Update Your Details / CV Before you send it in to us, please re-read CV Tips and Hints to familiarise yourself with the importance of having strong achievements and then update your CV in our preferred format (which we know is a winner with clients) and email it to us at recruitment@publicaffairs.com.au, along with your current contact details. Another Interview? 8 April 2010 "Thank you for the phone chats and support over the last few months, it is much appreciated. No other recruitment company shows the respect, care and interest in its candidates (active or inactive) working lives as you and TPARC do. You are the best recruitment company for the communications/public affairs industry and I continually tell people this!" " Thanks Karen it has certainly been a rough ride and things are looking much better now. I'll let you know how I'm going in a few weeks." 19 March 2010 “A number of people who have used you either as a candidate or client told me about you. You placed my wife about 5 years ago but you probably don’t remember her.” (Actually we did remember her… we have very good records too!) 5 March 2010 “ I really appreciate your honesty and letting me know what the client is thinking and saying.” 4 February 2010 "You (the company) do a pretty good job. You’ve always done a really good job for me. I appreciate all the stuff that you do. It’s fantastic.” "I know you're looking out for them (candidates)". 25 January 2010 "You've really helped me out in the past." I wouldn't be where I am without your help. You got me my first role a few years ago." 2009 21 August 2009 "I'd also just like to say that my experience with TPARC has been excellent. You run a tight ship and always seem to have all the bases covered. I'd like to continue to receive your job alerts, as I'm sure I will be using your services again sometime in the future." 27 July 2009 From the husband of a recipient of the Job Alert! "It is the greatest service ever provided in public affairs." 11 May 2009 "That's great news - thank you very much! PARC does it again! Please advise Vicki that I am happy with both the offer and the start date next Monday." 6 April 2009 "I have been advised that your agency specializes in public affairs recruitment in Australia. I am currently based in Shanghai and am seeking to relocate back to Australia over the next six months." 28 March 2009 "I thought I'd send you a quick email to let you know that I'm thoroughly enjoying my new position at the AER Foundation. My role will enable me to draw on my existing skills as well as learn a great deal about the organisation, the Public Relations industry as well as the not-for-profit sector. Many thanks again for providing me with the opportunity to apply for this position and for all the liaising and organising you conducted on my behalf. I will highly recommend The Public Affairs Recruitment Agency to anyone who has the need for your services." 1 March 2009 "I hope to be living and working in the ACT within a year and will recontact the Public Affairs Recruitment Company as soon as I have confirmation of [sponsorship].. I see the Public Affairs Recruitment Company as holding a key role in my job search strategy and have been very impressed by the web site & professional approach." 4 February 2009 "I forgot to mention that the position I got is Level 6, which is what you encouraged me to aspire to. Not having been in the PS before I wasn't sure where I should be aiming. Again, very helpful advice from you. Thanks again." 4 February 2009 "Wouldn’t have been here without your company’s help. Same can be said of the placement at [Organisation] that ended in a permanent role there. At some point down the track when I’m ready to move again you’ll no doubt be involved!" 16 January 2009 "Just wanted to say thanks again for your efforts with the two recent jobs – I think your agency provides a very professional service, one other recruiters would do well to emulate. Let’s keep in touch." 2008 21 February 2008 “The opportunities that will come through TPARC will never come from any other avenue. I would not like to offend anyone at TPARC. I am concerned to maintain a good relationship with you. Everyone talks about you in the highest terms imaginable.” 15 January 2008 2007 “You are the leading PR placement agency in town". 21 August 2007 “Thank you so much for this. I’m so impressed with the service you offer and the contact we’ve already had.” 5 April 2007 I had an excellent initial interview with [recruiter], and felt extremely comfortable with her being my recruitment consultant. I was impressed on a personal basis, and also with her obvious knowledge of current trends in TPARC's recruitment niche. This was in stark contrast to my contact with another agency who purported to be a strong competitor in the same field. I have also particularly appreciated the swift response to any emails or phone calls to TPARC. Whether or not I find a role through your company, I will sing your praises as being an agency that communicates well with its candidates, and offers diverse roles through a range of government clients.
I have found your Job Alert newsletter to be an excellent medium to sift through a range of opportunities, and it is more encompassing than similar agency offerings. Other (larger) recruitment companies have not provided anywhere near the same amount of opportunities in which I would be interested.” Last updated on 1 May 2010 |
