labour hire contractors (LHC)
Labour Hire in WA is recognised as a viable business solution for organisations that require short or long-term staffing solutions for peak periods or other special needs. A contract workforce offers a flexible and cost effective solution during the peaks and troughs of your operation.

At Paramount Purchasing, we have ready access to an extensive pool of skilled and experienced Supply personnel who are available for both short and long term assignments. Our specialised database allows us to carefully enter relevant information about all our candidates, giving our consultants the ability to refine our search processes to match our clients' needs.

Not only do Paramount staff monitor the range of personnel and categorise each according to skill-set and background, they also make a concerted effort to assess and rate the level of skill within each discipline. This determination is made via the interview process, through consideration of work history, past remuneration and through verbal reference check interviews with past Employers and/or supervisors.
 
permanent recruitment
We understand that choosing the right permanent employee to meet the objectives and organisational culture can be a challenging and risky process. Successful permanent recruitment involves more than simply sourcing candidates with the skills and experience to do the job. It also involves a strong level of β€œfit” between the requirements of our clients, and the attitudes and behaviours of our candidates.

As a result, we follow a stringent process to ensure that only the most suitable candidates are presented to our clients. The process involves taking a detailed job brief, preparing a candidate sourcing plan, preliminary screening, behavioural interviewing, testing and assessment, reference checking, background clearances, candidate short listing and subsequent consultation and advice on pre employment testing and assessment and final selection.
