1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,079
Speaker 1: Hey, let's talk jobs in South Australia. Joining me Andrew

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: Sullivan from Sullivan Consulting, Andrew Goodbining. Welcome Happy Monday, Matthew. Indeed, now,

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: how many jobs in the state at the moment.

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 2: So currently nine four hundred and sixty jobs active at

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 2: the moment. That's an increase of about two hundred and

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: fifty jobs since this time last week.

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: So I've been hovering at that for about a year

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: or so. Now it has.

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we still can't get over the ten thousand mark. Yeah,

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: it's definitely in the nine thousands, has been for probably

11
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: eight months now, so hopefully it'd be nice to get

12
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: it over that ten thousand job mark.

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: For people thinking of applying for a job, and you

14
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: get this in job ads referees on request, so presumably

15
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: that means you don't need to supply them with a covering.

16
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: Letter, correct, So generally I guess if people put them

17
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 2: probably two trains of thought here, So if you're a

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 2: candidate applying for a job and you're currently employed, I

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: would definitely put that on there. The reason I would

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: put that on there is obviously you don't want a

21
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: recruiter or an employer potentially calling your current employer going

22
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: to find out Matthew's applying for a job elsewear.

23
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: So that's the only reason.

24
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: I would put it on there. If you are unemployed

25
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: and you are seeking an opportunity, I would definitely put

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: it on your referees on there because Adelaide being Adelaide,

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: that one degree of separation. You never know, it could

28
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: be the difference between you actually getting a job or

29
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: at least getting onto the interview mix. Because if you've

30
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: got a referee on there, that possibly is one degree

31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: of connection with someone else that's obviously in the organization.

32
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: Well it stuff you're getting the job as well that

33
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: one degree.

34
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: It could it can work both ways, absolutely, so yeah,

35
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: definitely encourage putting them on there. I guess also written

36
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: references In this day and age, it's probably not a

37
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: requirement anymore to provide a written reference. If you've got

38
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: them from a previous employee, absolutely supply them to a

39
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: potential employer or a recruiter. But again it's not a requirement,

40
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: so I would much prefer to do a verbal reference

41
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: check on yourself Matthew then actually receive a written one

42
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: from Katie.

43
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: So okay, how many referees. What's is there a good number?

44
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: Yes, a judgment, So we would reference check three people,

45
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: So three referees per person. And generally what I'd be

46
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: looking for is two people that you've reported through to,

47
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: so a direct manager and possibly a colleague or a client,

48
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: depending upon the role or area that you currently work in.

49
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: So generally three, three to four is probably the number

50
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: that you'd be looking for. I'm still flabbergasted that a

51
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: number of organizations don't do reference checking on employees. In

52
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: this day and age, you definitely need to do them,

53
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: and I would encourage employers to do that because it

54
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: obviously tells you a whole range of things about their

55
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: performance history, their work history, I guess, their personality, and

56
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: other traits that might be important for the role they're

57
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: applying for.

58
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,600
