Employer Case Studies
“atWork Australia and Serco have partnered for more than two years across both the Workforce Australia and Disability Employment Services contract. To date we have had 162 atWork Australia candidates employed in our business with 85% of them identifying as living with a disability.
Serco’s Partnerships team and atWork Australia’s Employer Engagement team catchup weekly to discuss current vacancies, new opportunities within our business, feedback on their candidates, and feedback on current employees in the business.
atWork Australia has conducted diversity training for Serco staff on several occasions. Collaborating with atWork Australia has led to many successful outcomes. They have been engaging and a great support to Serco”
Shannon, Serco
“atWork Australia has supported us to successfully place clients in a variety of roles across Australia. They’ve invested the time to understand the range of jobs we offer, and the steps in our recruitment and selection process, which has helped to increase their understanding of our roles, business processes and workforce requirements.
We have worked together to understand potential barriers that different candidates may face and ways to overcome these barriers to create an inclusive process for all. This has meant candidates are not only well matched in their job but also have a positive recruitment experience.”
