Welcome to the EnigmaHR blog – this will be the best news you’ll read all week!
Thanks for joining us.
We’ve set this up as a resource for our clients – people who come to us looking for new people to join their team, and people looking for jobs.
Since 1997 we’ve specialised in placing accounting and insurance professionals. So we can talk on whole host of things we know you’ll find valuable.
We’ve had a lot of experience helping people navigate their way to a new job. If you’re looking for a job we’ll provide information to help you including: interview, resume writing and networking tips. Plus we’ll give you advice on career management, what we know about the future of the market and what the major players are up to.
If you’re looking for staff we’ll keep you posted around movements in the market, the latest trends in recruitment practices and salaries on offer. We’ll also talk on topics around why people leave, what people look for in jobs and what really does make an organisation an employer of choice. We know this stuff as we speak to a lot of people.
We know there’s a lot of mystery around recruitment agencies, plus a lot of bad PR. We’d like to open up that door and explain more about why we do what we do.
If you have a question or a topic you find puzzling – drop us a line email….we’ll answer it on the blog.
We promise you – no attitude, no corporate waffle – just sensible tips and valuable information.
If you like the thought of this, please subscribe to the blog. Also check out the huge range of jobs we have on offer.

The start of the employment year (that’s anytime after Australia Day) is always a good time to reflect on the year that was, and put our thinking caps on about where the demand exists for insurance jobs. If you read the economics headlines you would assume that disaster predicted for Europe spells doom and gloom in our employment market overall. However we all know that headlines are written as extreme attention grabbers and the real employment picture is far more nuanced than that. In our assessment of the employment market for insurance jobs, the forecast is not all gloomy. We’d say it’s patchy with a few rain showers over the coming year. Here’s why.

Do you use words on your resume that you would never use in real life? Take the word utilize for example. You rarely utilize the word utilize in real life, so why should you utilize it on a resume? Apart from the fact that it sounds pompous and vague, there are other far more powerful words you can use instead of utilize. Here is a list of action words for your resume. They’re not ours.

Call us the Grinches who stole Christmas, but sometimes we call Christmas the cranky season rather than the festive season. The city is busier than usual. People are all in a hurry. All those deadlines that have been lurking on the bottom of the to-do list for months all suddenly pop up as equally urgent. The holiday you’ve been saving up all year, can’t come soon enough.

Recruitment Consultants are not Careers Counsellors. We can give you advice about the next logical step in your career. We can tell you where others have gone before you.

Read here for some tips on how to work out what you really want to do….
