Skillinvest, matching the right people to the right jobs

Skillinvest have been servicing the Wimmera with employment services and solutions for over 35 years and are now the only labour hire provider in the area, providing labour hire solutions for a range of industries.

Nathan Keel, Skillinvest’s Business Development Officer- Regional, said the organisation can assist both employers and jobseekers alike.

“For employers we take care of recruitment and selection; wages, taxation and superannuation; insurance; workcover; workplace induction and safety checks and all other general administration,” Mr Keel said.

“We have an extensive database which includes a mix of school leavers, skilled, qualified and licensed candidates, all who are ready and eager to work.”

Mr Keel said that once a business is set up to work with Skillinvest, they can proceed with placing suitable staff on a short term or fixed term basis to suit the requirements of the business.

“For job seekers we have a range of short-term, casual, part-time and seasonal work opportunities.

“In the coming months we expect a number of vacancies, some of which will be in the civil construction industry and will include roles such as plant operators and traffic control.

“We also provide labour hire services to various agriculture businesses, the roles vary from office administration, field work, extracting seed and working in a lab analysing, cleaning, and bagging seeds.”

He said that now is the perfect time to register for employment to be considered for upcoming opportunities.

Horsham Rural City Council has been using Skillinvest Labour Hire services since the council was established in 1995.

Tony Schneider, HR Lead at Horsham Rural City Council said that even before that time, the former City of Horsham was using labour hire services provided by Skillinvest.

“They’ve always been very professional and responsive and careful to do the right thing for Council, and for their employees. They form good relationships with everyone. Being local certainly helps with all of that. It all adds up to a good combination and that’s why we keep using them.”
