Recruitment Academy bound for new horizons

Unique recruitment induction, training and careers business, Recruitment Academy, is set for expansion with Michael Dimopoulos, Founder and Managing Director appointing veteran recruiter, turned niche career and professional development specialist, Paul Slezak on board as Director.
 
“I’ve been looking for the right partner for a while now and Paul’s skills in recruitment training, management, operations and having actually run recruitment businesses in two countries, are the perfect complement to mine”, says Dimopoulos.”
 
“It’s time to expand the business both here in Australia as well as internationally”, continues Dimopoulos. “With Paul on board as Director and our new website (www.recruitmentacademy.com.au) unveiled, we plan to open doors in Asia, India and the UK after that.”
 
“We also see a huge opportunity in extending our services from recruitment consultancies to the corporate sector”, explains Slezak. “By offering dedicated instruction to hiring managers of significant service teams, we can help ensure their recruitment processes are more efficient and effective.”
 
 “As a former recruitment manager, I see huge value in Recruitment Academy and Michael’s vision for the future”, comments Slezak, who launched his own consultancy, 2 dots, earlier this year. “Our goals are completely in synch and together we can realise its full potential.”

 Now you can enter data and view and generate reports all in the same place. 

Training
Melbourne-based partners are invited to a training session on Friday October 23 at 9.30am-12.00pm. Here you will be introduced to the capabilities of the new system. Details to follow via email.
 
Details of a Sydney training session will follow soon. Those of you in the other cities will receive advice and instructions from Carmel via email.
 
At these sessions we also want to investigate with you ways we can help you use the SkillsMatch data to enhance your business. These sessions will be suitable to those who enter the data and for those who have more of a decision-making role in the company.
 
ITCRA members who do not enter SkillsMatch data are welcome to attend these sessions to learn more about it. We would love to hear from you if you are interested in becoming a SkillsMatch partner and when the new site is live you will be given access to parts of it to view some current reports.
