TalentDrain and The Local Employer Awards have started a new initiative called Women2Work to help women who may have been having a career break get back to work (see website).We have devised a new tool: Finding Potential - an online personality profiler which enables users to identify their strong points and can recommend types of jobs/careers most suited to their personality. Finding Potential is FREE and will be launched in October to our network of women.

If you are an employer on the Northern Beaches or North Shore area of Sydney we would like to invite you to participate in the initiative by providing 1-2 weeks work experience placements for our candidates. For a small placement fee we will provide you with an updated resume and personality profile of a prospective candidate for you to place where you think they may be best suited. It is hoped that return to work placements will commence from February 2010.
Benefits to your organisation would include:
- Publicity on our website as a Local Employer providing ongoing support to women in the community
- Free use of Finding Potential as part of your own recruitment process
- Access to new talent that may become part of your permanent workforce
Please call Lindsay or Louise on 9905 9735 to register your interest in participating in this initiative or email us at info@localemployerawards.com.au.
