Finding the right people for your workforce is an ongoing challenge for many employers. Significant investment of time and money to find suitable staff often has varying results and can leave employers feeling discouraged and frustrated. Hiring for attitude is a corner stone of our approach.
We source, select and train motivated people to meet the specific requirements of the business and job roles.

Our company strives to provide you with capable, motivated and committed people for your business – people that you want to employ and are confident can do the job. This is how we measure our success.

“I have participated in this partnership program with Woolworths and Community Corporate from the beginning and it continues to provide me with hardworking, reliable and loyal team members. It is really important for us as store managers to get behind the program and provide a vital employment pathway for refugees who otherwise wouldn’t be working. They truly are an asset and welcome addition to the Metro team.”
