Dec21597 Most Innovative Recruitment Firm - Australia Chilli Recruitment is a cutting-edge Australian recruitment agency, connecting high performing professionals with great companies nationwide. We find out more from entrepreneur, and company founder, Pina Stojko. Since 2008, Chilli Recruitment has been at the forefront of recruitment technology - bringing people together no matter where they are in the world. Chilli Recruitment’s services include marketing, searching, consulting, career counselling, screening, qualifying, reference checking, shortlisting and recommending of candidates for a specific job description, and it predominantly partners with private enterprise, family businesses, federal and local government departments, nonprofit organisations and small to medium companies. “Our core values have not changed, and I think that’s the biggest factor in being Australia’s most innovative recruiter,” enthuses Pina Stojko, who established the firm with her husband, David in 2008. “Our values have always revolved around employing people, offering secure working conditions for professionals, their families, and our teams. Since 2020 we have pivoted in speed, procedures, and resources to ensure that our service delivery remains and is enhanced to allow for inclusivity of all talents and the delivery of qualified shortlists, resulting in 100% client satisfaction.” Being in such a competitive industry it’s imperative that Chilli Recruitment differentiates itself from others in order to stay ahead. Pina tells us that the agency’s unique selling point centres around its proactive nature. “We are hungry and willing to go beyond the boundaries to source and connect with high performing professionals,” Pina elaborates. “Most of our candidates are not scrolling job boards. They are well paid, results driven professionals and to grab their attention is something that takes time, dedication and getting it right. We don’t sleep until we connect with your perfect person!” Team members at Chilli Recruitment are aware from their very first interview that they are the culture architects as Pina, who is keen to encourage the traits of hard work, hospitality and giving to others, which were instilled in her from childhood. “The team members at Chilli Recruitment are an extension of us and their characters are from a giving nature,” Pina states, singing the praises of her employees. “They are willing to work during holidays, weekends, and evenings to achieve the optimum result for our clients and are highly valued, called upon to develop the business, included in executive decisions, consulted with, and ultimately, the captains of the ship.” As a boutique-style recruitment firm, Chilli Recruitment can be adaptable and pivot in an urgent scenario. This was particularly accommodating when the Covid-19 pandemic struck, rendering many industries inoperable overnight. Due to its flexible nature, Chilli Recruitment was able to support many companies as they navigated staff shortages, and increased salary demands from employees, whilst ensuring core values were at the heart of all decisions. “Smart decisions were crucial to ensure the stability of our team first, and that client targets are met within strict timeframes,” Pina says. “Covid-19 has seen our business multiply in the Medical & Science sector, which has almost doubled and Hospitality & Tourism now, more than ever, requires multifaceted leaders who can steer the businesses back to success on significantly smaller budgets. Building, Construction & Property has escalated beyond measure and trades are scarce. Executives & General Managers are seeing excellent career opportunities arise whereby previously they may have been overworked and undervalued.” Recently, Chilli Recruitment was named Most Innovative Recruitment Firm – Australia by Corporate Vision. Pina and the team are understandably thrilled, with visions of further success throughout 2022. “Our plans for 2022 and beyond is to continue to lead as an innovative, cutting-edge recruitment agency whilst including all talents and connecting them with great companies Australia wide and beyond. I think this is a testament to word getting around that we are the recruiter of choice. I’m very proud of that.” Contact: Pina Stojko Company: Chilli Recruitment Web Address: www.chillirecruitment.com.au
