We recently hosted a Webinar with our great partner Jobadder to showcase the rich talent that is available to the recruitment sector by looking to former and transitioning First Responders.

Simon and Sean from Beyond The Badge were on the panel with the CEO of Jobadder Martin Herbst who provided some startling data in relation to talent shortages across the Australia and New Zealand job markets

Simon and Sean then highlighted the talent pool that is at this time under utilised and misunderstood by many companies that are looking to hire great people.

We also examine the flaw in traditional hiring methodology where a Resume is matched to a Job Description. As many first responders are unfamiliar with the requirements and struggle to translate their skills intro the required language, they miss out on the opportunity and often don’t get past first base

Beyond The Badge, a Not for Profit Charity, provide a Career Transition service that assists first responders bridge that gap between their years of service and the world of recruitment

Listen to the Webinar and learn what you might be missing out on if you are hiring and don’t consider this rich source of talent

A Huge thank you to Martin Herbst, Sarah Linney and Tina Souksamrane from Jobadder for their work in making this Webinar happen.
