Chandler Macleod’s unique BestFit™ methodology ensures final candidates possess the required capabilities and competencies to undertake the full criteria of the role as well as ensuring the appropriate level of ‘fit’ with the organisational culture, management style and team environment. The assessments applied during this process are culture and gender agnostic, ensuring a level playing field of objective review across a diverse workforce or talent pool.

Candidate Behavioural and Cultural Fit

Chandler Macleod’s recruitment methodology is underpinned by our commitment to facilitating the best match between the person, job and work environment. Critical to this methodology is the identification of candidate competency and skills fit – that is, the observable and measurable characteristic of a person that includes using knowledge and demonstrating skills, behaviours and abilities that contribute to performing well. Ensuring that sourced and engaged employees display these competencies enables the core requirements for driving performance at both an individual and organisational level are met.

Induction Services

Each member of the Chandler Macleod talent pool receives an in-depth induction prior to every assignment. This service extends beyond the legislative requirements of OHS and administrative standards of timesheets and payment, Health and Safety at Work and OHS Policy to include our Code of Conduct, incorporating the expectations of Chandler Macleod and our commitments to our candidate partners and the unique policies of the client partner.

Payroll Services

Chandler Macleod pays 8000+ permanent and temporary staff weekly, fortnightly or monthly in a variety of sectors.

We offer an end to end payroll services for any number of employees in any industry, and currently work with 2100 clients using different Awards and EBA’s to accurately prepare and process payroll, ensuring candidate partners are paid in full, on time.

Safety

It is our belief that the safety of the workforce underpins any efforts towards workforce sustainability. Safety is more than injury management; it is the basis from which productivity, retention, quality of output, employee engagement and ultimately, employer attractiveness, is derived.
In the Australian industrial safety landscape, there is a complex myriad of legislative requirements, processes and procedures which must be adhered to on a state by state and site by site basis. Our OHS system is compliant with the standard AS/NZS 4804:2001: Occupational Health and Safety Management systems – general guidelines on principles, systems and supporting techniques. Chandler Macleod’s Safety System manages risk under ‘duty of care’ requirements and obligations for Clients, Employees and Chandler Macleod itself. We are proud of our status as one of Australia’s safest employers, and actively work with our clients to provide innovative ways to constantly enhance the safety of our people.
