From Candidates
“While I was looking for a change of employer I applied for positions through various agencies. Most of the agents were only interested in their own business and I didn’t feel valued as a customer at all. BSI People, and especially my consultant, who handled my application certainly went the extra mile for me as a client. I was kept informed at all times about the progress and even if there wasn’t any movement, my consultant took the time for either a quick email, sms or phone call to let me know that it might take some time until he received an update. He was always willing to answer any questions, and if he didn’t know the answer he would contact the employer and let me know. my consultant’s customer service certainly gave me the impression that he was interested in my application and he always reflected a positive image of the employer if things took a little longer than I expected. There were times when I felt very insecure but my consultant always reassured me that everything was under control and going through the normal process.”

“BSI People are really interested in helping out whereas a lot of other recruitment companies just decide for the candidate their fate and send him/her a standard reply. You are different and better than the rest!”
Arvind Singh
“BSI People are the ONLY recruitment executives I have met in two years of extensive dealings with the industry, who has demonstrated an understanding of the value of broad experience, and an appreciation of the meaning of financial performance achievements as indicators of talent. I am happy to continue on this path, especially given a recent experience with a well known competitor of yours, where the consultant was forty-five minutes late for the interview, and spent the first twenty minutes talking about his wonderful career and meteoric rise to the top of his profession. He had few pertinent questions for me, and explained that their psychometric tests would determine the appropriate person for the job (CEO of a $150 M group). After hearing nothing for some weeks, one of my voice-mail messages to him was returned, and he declared I was not a suitable prospect for testing - end of discussion. BSI People are thinkers, as distinct from the meat-market processors who comprise the great bulk of recruitment operators. BSI are also very pro-active in their relationships with candidates, giving them confidence that a selection process under their management will not overlook any aspect of their candidature, will be holistic in its assessment of best fit for all parties, rather than reliant on some electronic culling mechanisms. Commitment to personal service, attention to detail and intelligent consideration is the impression one gains of BSI’s approach. Unique in the Melbourne recruitment community. “

“One of the most difficult things for job seekers to deal with is the ‘not knowing’ how things are going. This is a significant concern, since most job applications are now handled on line. You send your application into cyberspace, then ‘hope for the best’. 9.5 times out of 10, you never receive 1 byte of information back. Well, not with BSI People. It is amazing, but true; this agency addresses their candidates on a personal level; with responses to the candidate at every phase of the process. I honestly believe this agency is different from the rest; they try to be different; keeping you as fully informed as possible throughout the whole process. To the people out here in cyberspace, that builds massive credibility and sets an industry leading standard. I vote for BSI People. No one else comes close! “
Ian Lyall
“I have dealt with many recruitment agencies in the past, and ultimately, you are one of the best I have stumbled upon. I would also like to thank you for your feedback. I am impressed because I am aware that many other organisations do not bother responding to unsuccessful job applicants, either at all, or at such length. Most of them also fail to expand on their appreciation for the applicant’s interest in the position. So in contrast, I am grateful for your response. “
Mary Agustin
“Generally I hate employment agencies, a lot of time is wasted, but in this instance you have changed my view and I am very impressed with BSI People.”
Pat Eastley - Sales Executive
“I was impressed by BSI’s flexible attitude, professionalism and promptness compared to other employment agencies.”
Naeem Bhatti - Assistant Accountant
“BSI People’s professionalism & pragmatism was most impressive. They were the only recruiter who actually listened to me & tailored the choice of suitable firms accordingly. I used recruiters in the past, both in NZ & ACT but I’ve never come across such thorough professionalism.”
Nitij Pal - Solicitor
“Your internal referral system works! Contacting me about a role I didn’t directly apply for. Many agencies talk about this but very few deliver. Well done!”
Sandra Hunt - Human Resources Manager
“Your ability to get me interviews with my preferred employer when all other agencies couldn’t makes BSI People stand out.”
Ivan Mantelli - Executive
“Quality of the initial consultative process was exceptional. A genuine ‘outsourced HR function’ - knowledge of the business was very good.”
Ian Gilbert - Product Manager

Carl White - Sales Professional
“I had cause to use BSI People’s services when I answered an advertisement for a Business Intelligence Consultant. I found the BSI People consultant to be very prompt with all actions he undertook, such as calling me within minutes of my online application, and responding to me with the next course of action within hours of each interview or discussion. It was a relief to feel that BSI People was representing me.”

BSI Learned Friends
“I’m on a year’s working holiday visa from the UK. When I arrived 6 months ago I joined 3 legal support temping agencies… but have never needed to use the other 2! This is because BSI Learned Friends have consistently kept me in work, with some of the best law firms in Sydney. They constantly strive to match assignments to my ability and experience and I find them to be professional, friendly and fantastic!”
Fiona Wilson
“My BSI Learned Friends consultant went out of her way to help me find a permanent position. I felt so confident after my initial interview that they would look after me, that I cancelled appointments with other agencies. I at times telephoned my consultant after hours and she was always extremely friendly and offered good advice. I’m very happy with my new position. Thanks!!”
(Confidential) - Administration Assistant
“They actually cared about me & ensured that I got the job I wanted. I was extremely impressed by their efficiency and knowledge of the industry. “
(Confidential) - Legal Secretary
“I would like to sincerely thank BSI Learned Friends for all their efforts in assisting me finding employment that I’m completely content with. Without my consultant’s encouragement and committed assistance, I would not have the confidence in attending my first interview.”
