With a long standing background of 10 years in the recruitment industry, Dani Divola established 2be Placements after realising there was a gap in the Queensland market for a flexible approach to recruitment that met the needs of employees wanting to better balance their work and family life.

As the director of 2be Placements, Dani sees part of her team’s role is to work with and often educate employers across Queensland to recognise the benefits of attracting and retaining professional part-time staff.

2be Placements has worked with clients across varied industry sectors such as mining, construction, not-for-profit, government and professional services who are seeing the value that professional part-time employees can add to their business across a range of professional roles.

This sees 2be Placements actively involved in networks for part-time employees – parents, students, and pre-retirees. As the pressure to find talent can continue to challenge business growth, part-time employees are a real, and extremely skilled answer to employer vacancies.

In the current market of high employment where employers are competing for talent, the advantages for employers recruiting professional part-time staff include:

• A broader candidate pool of experienced professionals
• Attracting experienced and dedicated staff who want to be there
• Part-time staff tend to be more effective time managers – juggling the demands of work and family/ study / lifestyle
• Part-time staff tend to have fewer sick days
• Part-time staff reduce the level of company salary outgoings
• Part-time staff tend to be more loyal leading to higher retention rates
• Part-time staff add additional flexibility to cover planned and unplanned leave
