What Our Clients Say
Optimal have been essential in my resourcing strategy.
Their ability to deal with diverse requirements from a 1 day admin temp to a Senior Manager makes them very easy to deal with.
Optimal listen, take note of your culture and try and find a good fit. If they don’t get it quite right the first time they will make sure they take the feedback and send suitable candidates.
A part of our strategy is recruiting skilled staff on the Northern beaches, Optimal are able to quickly identify candidates through their great network being able to offer skilled local candidates.
A friendly manner and an easy to deal with backend process makes them a preferred supplier. What is most important is results, where Optimal demonstrate an excellent track record.
The Optimal Recruitment team have provided recruitment services for entry level staff (drivers, counter and retail staff), managers (store and specialist), and professional staff (finance, administration etc). Over the past year, Optimal has also provided recruiting expertise in sales and senior management roles. Optimal sources, interviews and provides short-listed candidates for our review, and reference checking and pre-employment assessment services (where relevant).
The fact that we have renewed the relationship for another year is a reflection of the quality of service and candidates we have received from Optimal.
I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that your company has really helped us in finding such great and friendly staff. I’m glad that I chose your recruitment agency, as a small business owner you have offered other options which has enabled us to grow and keep moving forward effortlessly without any setbacks. I spent so much money on advertising and wasn’t able to find the brilliant staff you have brought forward to us. We will definitely spread the word. Thank you so much for your friendly and fast approach, hopefully we are able to utilise your business again in the near future.
