Candidate to client to candidate to client to candidate   I first met Carolyn in 1996 when I arrived in Australia from the UK. I’d met a few recruiters in my search for work and, to be honest, they were of no help.   They said the right things but did little to help me in my search. Carolyn, on the hand, took the time to sit and talk and, most importantly, listen to me. Our initial   conversation led to a temporary and eventually permanent role in a new industry for me. What Carolyn saw in me didn’t come from simply looking at a   resume - the discussion we had and her understanding of her clients needs & personalities lead Carolyn to point me in the direction she did. 13 years later   I’m still in that industry!       When AIM Recruitment started operating a couple of months later, I employed many of their casual staff because I was confident that the people I was   sent had been through the same “getting to know you” process that I had. Unfortunately, I was made redundant a couple of years later and once again I   turned to AIM Recruitment for assistance and, while waiting for a suitable position, I temped as a warehouse storeman to help out – these are not the roles   that AIM Recruitment usually deals with (or that I would normally work in) but they stepped in to help out a client who couldn’t fill such roles through their   warehouse labour hire contractor. I was there for a couple of months until the right position came up again through AIM Recruitment.       Since then, my reputation & confidence in the mailing and fulfilment industry has meant that I could find roles without outside help but when I have needed   to recruit staff I have gone back to AIM Recruitment for assistance because I know I can trust them to supply the right candidates.       In 2009, it’s gone full circle, I’m back in the job market looking for a change in career direction and once again AIM Recruitment has been my first point   of call. We’ve given my resume the “wow” factor and talked about where I want to go and what I want to do. Once again I know someone is listening   to what I have to say and is thinking about me. Most of the bigger recruiters I’ve talked to seem to be playing a numbers game: “If we throw 20 resumes   at the client one of them is bound to stick” seems to be the approach. AIM Recruitment, however, is not like this their philosophy is all about people and   building relationships and that’s how it should be in the recruitment business.       I’m proud to have been one of AIM’s candidates, one of their clients and one of their friends and will continue to be so because I truly value their   commitment, consistency, loyalty and integrity.   Neil Staal             To whom it may concern,   I have worked with Carolyn Putt from AIM Recruitment both as a candidate and as a client. As a candidate I can attest to her high level of candidate   care and professionalism as well as her quite exceptional ability to put you at ease in an interview and draw pertinent information out of you. Her   understanding of the positions she places and companies she works with is excellent. Almost rare these days, she also recognizes the candidates’   need to be updated on your application progress, and treats you as a person rather than just a potential job placement. Sadly that level of personal   candidate care is not often found with recruiters and I would rate Carolyn in the first tier of her profession for it.       As a result of the excellent way my interviewing and candidate care was handled by Carolyn, she was my first choice when it came to selecting a   recruitment partner as a client. Her fees are reasonable, her understanding of my business was thorough before she commenced candidate searches   for me and I was comfortable that the care and dignity she shows her applicants would reflect positively on my company and enhance our brand to   applicants. As a client I have worked with Carolyn for over 7 years and she has remained one of my preferred recruitment partners when I have   changed companies. Carolyn’srecruitment services for me have spanned both permanent and temporary as well as bulk recruitment, and never   once have I been let down by AIM Recruitment.   Kevin Keys             I love temping for the team at AIM Recruitment. I’m not just a number. They understand my strengths and what I like and dislike with regards to what   assignments I prefer to undertake. I’m always paid a great rate and I never have any problems with my wages, they go in accurately and on time   every week. Their client base is lovely – and many of them request me back again and again which is really nice.       AIM Recruitment took the time to get to know me and right from they very start they’ve made me like I was an important asset to their business. It’s   been that way ever since. During the interview and skills testing they put me at ease. I’ve been temping for AIM Recruitment for nearly 9 months. I’ve   made AIM 500 Club (their loyalty programme) 3 times and I’ve been able to treat myself to a couple of cd’s and dinner. Very nice! I’ve been offered   a couple of positions permanently but for now the flexibility that temp work offers suits my lifestyle. .       I can’t recommend AIM Recruitment highly enough. Carolyn is very approachable and cares about you. If you are looking for an agency with a   point of difference – call them. Lisa B
