Recruitment workers panic about job security

In an ironic twist, those workers who are paid to help the unemployed find a job, may soon find themselves out of work, as the Federal Government recasts Australia’s job network and looks to overseas companies to aid jobless Australians.

As a result many job centres in regional Australia may be shut down leading to hundreds of job losses.

Greens Senator Rachel Siewert believes the system will put a lot of job centre workers out onto the street.

“The Government will be directly sending hundreds, if not thousands, of people into unemployment when they take the services away from these community organisations,” she said.

The man in charge with delivering the new job network landscape, Employment Participation Minister Brendan O’Connor, believes the scheme will work in the best interest of job seekers.

“My priority is to look after job seekers so they can find work when the economy recovers.”

  • Great article. If any of those who may be looking for another direction are interested, we offer a fully supported recruitment franchise model. Low cost and high returns and an excellent structure.
    Check it out folks.

    Even for those employment services that stay open there will be staff cuts because the new model reduces red tape theme comes at a cost ! the new model will require LESS work and therefore LESS WORKERS

    BRITAIN AND AMERICA GET 40% of the employment services so what is to stop them bringing in their own unemployed to fill the jobs ? they will look like they are doing a good job in their own contracts there and take even more jobs away from the staff here! has the Government got a guarantee in place this won’t happen?

    If Britain and America are so good at getting people into work why are their own countries unemployment rates skyrocketing out of control? they are ineffective there and there is no reason to think they will be any better here.
