If you are a larger employer or a multi-site employer, you might find it difficult to deal with numerous localised Australian Government employment service providers when recruiting your staff in bulk.
The National Disability Recruitment Coordinator offers a single point of contact for the recruitment of employees with disability. The Coordinator is also able to link you with Disability Employment Network members and Vocational Rehabilitation Services and help you establish a working relationship with them.
The National Disability Recruitment Coordinator works with employers, Disability Employment Network members and Vocational Rehabilitation Services to:
- negotiate a supply of jobs with employers
- match suitable job seekers to vacant positions
- broadcast vacancies
- provide you with up to date information about the recruitment of people with disability and any related issues
- promote the employment of people with disability.
Role of the National Disability Recruitment Coordinator
As job vacancies or opportunities arise in your business, you are able to provide details to the National Disability Recruitment Coordinator. The National Disability Recruitment Coordinator then broadcasts the job vacancies to all the Disability Employment Network members and Vocational Rehabilitation Services in your local area.
Applications from suitable job seekers are then forwarded to the National Disability Recruitment Coordinator by Disability Employment Network members and Vocational Rehabilitation Services. The National Disability Recruitment Coordinator provides you (or your nominated recruitment provider) with details of the job seekers.
Once you have decided which of the job seekers you would like to interview, the National Disability Recruitment Coordinator:
- contacts and arranges your interview with the job seeker and relevant Disability Employment Network member or Vocational Rehabilitation Service
- notifies any job seekers you have decided not to interview.
Following the interviews, the National Disability Recruitment Coordinator contacts you to discuss the results of the interview and to gain any feedback about the process.
