Employment Agency Promise

The wildly exaggerated amount of time, that a prospective employee is told by an Employment Agency that a job will last. Mainly used by desperate recruiters,as they know that the shorter amount of days offered, the less chance they are going to get anybody to do the job. Ergo they will miss out on their earner.
Phone rings and it is the local lacking in any honour or credibility employment agency. "Have you got your own PPE, a CSCS card, a pulse, a day glow vest and can you start yesterday? Good, we have a job helping to lay turf on a building site of ten houses which will last six months".
Person at the other end of the phone who has heard it all before - "No it won't, it will only be for about two days. I don't trust you, this is only another Employment Agency Promise !"

So what have you been doing for the past year and a half?

Oh, well I was employment ignorant due to circumstances beyond my control, but it hasn't diminished my ability to give a shit at work whatsoever!

employment consultant

Experts in employment who advise businesses on how to create the best possible employee experience for their team in order to create happier employment. This includes coaching and advising on topics such as EDI, culture, engagement, fair process, leadership and management, recruitment, onboarding, communication, performance management, vision and purpose. An employment consultant may utilise tools such as surveys and employee interviews, carry out workshops and support companies in strategy design, process design, through to recruiting top talent. The ability to execute an exemplary recruitment process and create happier employment is facilitated by the initial thorough examination of the company's employee experience. Armed with this information, and the company taking progressive steps to improve their employee experience, an employment consultant can successfully source diverse talent who would thrive within a company's particular environment.
We need an employment consultant to advise us on how to improve our culture and employee experience.

employment foreplay

Employment Foreplay is when an employer gets you all worked up about a job, and then gives it away to someone else.
Steve totally played employment foreplay with that fulltime job I applied for, he got me all worked up making me think I was going to get it, but gave it to someone else instead.
