Tanya Hibbard, HR Manager, Bartons (Car Dealer)
“I first met with Michelle, the Open Minds employment representative, almost one year ago.
Michelle was willing to learn about our business before recommending applicants and that was important to me.
I don’t think any business operator enjoys having applicants pushed upon them and this has never happened with Open Minds.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that Michelle attended the sign-up and brief induction to the business for the new employee Scott that Open Minds recommended. She has since visited regularly and we often speak over the phone.
We have been very lucky and so has Scott. Scott has gained full time employment with Bartons and I wouldn’t be surprised if Scott is short listed for employee of the year this year! His work ethic is outstanding and he is part of our family now.
Employers should consider open minds to find suitable applicants, as these are people who genuinely want to return to the workforce and you will be supported throughout the process.”
