Background
Delivering three major road projects, the 6.5km North East Link tunnels from Watsonia to Bulleen will take 15,000 trucks a day off local roads and reduce travel times by up to 35 minutes. Upgrades to the Eastern Freeway and M80 Ring Road will include new lanes, smart technology and a seamless connection to the North East Link tunnels.
Hiring requirements
The scale and duration of the project demanded a vast number of staff in the following fields:
- Civil Site Engineers
- Civil Project Engineers
- Civil Project Managers
- Quantity surveyors
- Health & Safety
NexVentur’s unique approach of offering a stress-free recruitment and relocation solution attracts candidates on the move, ready to move to Australia. Recognising the value in this, the North East Link approached NexVentur to run and host a bespoke international recruitment campaign to attract suitably experienced and qualified candidates in Ireland and the UK.
How we helped
A week-long interview series in Ireland and the UK was the result of several months’ preparation. The campaign kicked off with extensive marketing promotion that included paid media, social media and content marketing. Applicants flooded in and our recruiters screened and vetted them thoroughly, only presenting the best prospects to the client.
Shortlisted candidates were then invited to a presentation by the North East Link team on the project and opportunities that awaited. This was followed by in-person interviews.
The outcome
50 candidates were interviewed, of which 15 were hired. The partnership with NexVentur is ongoing and the North East Link continues to benefit from our Irish and UK candidates.
