Many employers today use the electronic advertising media in the first instance to generate applications to fill vacancies. Although varying rates of success are achieved there are also those difficult-to-fill roles which require the concerted effort of a recruiting specialist to find or identify the right candidates.
Susie Lomas is one of those specialists whose determination, knowledge of the market place and intuition have enabled her to unearth several ‘best fit’ candidates for us – allowing us to get on with managing and growing the business.
Senior HR Advisor
Formed in 2006 under the direction of Susie Lomas, Lomas Executive was established to provide a highly specialised recruitment, search and selection services that were based on proven best practice, honesty and integrity. The Lomas Group offers national coverage, local expertise, consistent standards and a proven professional approach.
Choosing to work with only a select client base, our company culture is based on mutual respect, integrity and the nurturing of enduring, genuine relationships. With our Principal having come from an international agency background and with the advantage of small business controls, it is inevitable that all work undertaken is done with a sense of loyalty to each other and without deviating from our principles.
The Director recognises that recruitment and retention of the right employees is a prerequisite to the success of any business, therefore all Lomas employees are carefully selected and treated not as another number but as a true partner in the success of the company as a whole. Each of our team is entirely accountable for all work we engage in.
Being a young and dynamic company, we are continuously embracing innovation and rapid change. This puts us in the fortunate position of being able to continually meet our client’s and candidates evolving needs. Instant decisions can be made in reaction to the markets’ demands and clients’ needs.
Based in Sydney, our services reach across Australia supporting companies in attracting, assessing and recruiting the right staff, effectively assisting them in their long term business success. We achieve this by addressing a number of issues using a proven recruitment process and methodology. These issues include but are not limited to, employment longevity, cultural fit and understanding what a business is aiming to achieve rather than focusing purely on the immediate recruitment need as a stand alone function. A new recruit should be the best possible person for the role, not just the person who is available.
Our plan includes:
“The Lomas Group provides the benchmark in personalised professional recruitment, allowing you to take care of your business while we take care of your people”
Many of our clients work with us on an exclusive basis, recognising that what works best is a partnership based on both parties being equally committed to a solution.
Before agreeing to partner with any business we take the time to listen and learn about their organisation and practices. Assuming that organisations are by nature aiming for growth, we make it our business to frequently review the company's objectives and focus making sure that our service is in synergy with the company's present ethos and long term vision.
Our service is based on frank and open discussion, offering a transparent process that allows the client to monitor the project right from first placing the job order with us through to the successful probation period being completed by the candidate.
Should we feel there are other sourcing methodologies that would provide a better result for our clients we will openly discuss this before accepting an assignment. Lomas Group offers a wide breadth of expertise but we acknowledge that on occasion specialists are required in very specific areas of recruitment.
We represent both clients and candidates, therefore it is our intention to treat candidates with as much importance, care and value whether they are successfully placed or not.
With each person’s job search and career path being unique we not only attempt to align their portfolio of skills but also their personal qualities and long term goals with the client. Providing support and advice along the way, in addition to career opportunity we offer candidates a truly consultative service that sets us apart in the market place.
