Maintaining Triaxial’s strong brand reputation
When Trevor Kerrison, General Manager HR & Operations, needed to fill several key engineering roles, he wanted a recruitment firm that understood Triaxial’s impressive track record. Rainy Day is Trevor’s trusted local-market specialist for Adelaide staff.
“We’ve experienced a longer lead time to fill vacancies in a tough market to hire engineering staff. Having the right resources in place to service our projects is crucial. It’s our reputation on the line.”
Trevor also knows how prospective employees judge the Triaxial brand based on their experience with the recruitment agency. In a tight market, this can mean the difference between a new hire or a lost opportunity.
