Why have an Employee Value Proposition (EVP)? Meh, is it really that important? OK, so you want to attract top talent to your team. You put out a job ad saying, ‘Hey, work for us. We want you to do this, that, and everything else,’ but don’t add what’s in it for them. Why would a future employee want to work for you? You’ve made it all about you and nothing about them. ‘It’s not you, it’s me!' An Employee Value Proposition outlines the benefits, perks, and incentives a company provides to their staff in line with its values and culture. Like (here’s ours as an example)… ✅ Work anywhere, anytime → For up to 6 weeks a year after you've been with us for 12 months. ✅ Flexible Work → Our core office hours are 9.00am - 4.00pm. So hit the gym, spend time with your fam or manage your time in a way that works best for you. ✅ Day off for your birthday → Take the day off from work... or any day in that month. You choose! ✅ Family-friendly → We know that it's challenging for return-to-work parents, so we offer part-time and full-time roles so you can work with your family. ✅ Flexible attire → Yup, we're not about the suit and tie or stiletto heels (unless that's your thing). Wear your flip-flops or birks - we're cool with that - just not to in-person meetings. ✅ Career development → We want you to succeed, and we help you along the way. We will mentor you, give you support, and help you develop your personal brand. Ensuring your company is appealing to potential awesome candidates will help guarantee they are a good fit from the start. An EVP really is the secret to attracting top talent and you’ll have candidates fighting to work for you. The hardest part will be choosing the best fit. Contact the Team Need help? We can help market your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) to attract the absolute best!

It's getting to the pointy end of the year and I'm sure we can all taste those refreshments in the sun and the upcoming holiday. But what else should you do during this period? It's the perfect time to have a look at your CV. Has yours got digital dust and cobwebs on it? Do you have a million projects to update or even several promotions? Then why don't you cast your eye over your CV and/or portfolio and make sure it's ready for the new year, because who knows what opportunity is right around the corner. Here are just a few tips from someone who has looked at 10's of thousands of them. 1️⃣ Make it clear and concise, especially with your chronological work history. Recruiters generally make a decision off the first few seconds of scanning it so if it is difficult to follow or convoluted, it puts you behind the eight ball. 2️⃣ List projects you have worked on. In the construction industry, your work is measured by the projects you've been involved in, so naturally you'd want the world to know; especially the high profile or particularly complex ones. 3️⃣ Tell us what you did on those projects. Did you help design a small portion? Or did you lead a multi-disciplinary team? Make sure you give detail in this section so it backs up your level of experience. 4️⃣ Include all registrations, certifications, and licenses and make them stand out. If you have your chartership or RPEQ that's important for me to know and for my clients. 5️⃣ Perhaps contrary to others and also keeping in mind my first point, I don't mind a multi page CV. If you have a good history of work, then include it, especially if it is relevant projects/achievements. Obviously there isn't a need to include your first job in 1974 or your grade 6 maths awards but I think some curated detail is good. 6️⃣ I am someone who doesn't need a cover letter. I can't speak for everyone but if I am representing you to a client, I'd much rather meet with you to figure out your whole story so we can put together a summary together. 7️⃣ Provide a word copy ideally. There may be some things that need anonymising or a bit of formatting changed to accommodate our branding. Of course, if you can think of any major hints or tips I have missed, chuck them in the comments or drop me a line. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. 😊 Or if you want to have a more in depth chat about your CV, a new role or a need in your team call me.

Four weeks in to fatherhood and you know what? It's still pretty bloody hard. The inconsistent sleep schedule, the massive bags under my eyes, the feeling of no light at the end of the tunnel, being vomited and pooped on, and the uncertainty of whether you are doing anything correctly. However, I am also grateful for a lot of things and thought I'd share those instead of having a big whinge. My dog not wanting to eat my baby. Was a real worry but he's been amazing so far. (He's hungrily looking at the food below, not her). Grandparents who are hooked on her like she is heroin. I'll gladly enable their habit so we can enjoy a few hours out for dinner each week. Having Vivid Recruitment with Lee Stevens and the flexibility it has provided. I can't imagine supporting my partner and raising our daughter if I was forced into an office all day every day. If you don't work for a supportive and flexible company, call us and we will find you one that is. An incredibly kind, patient and strong partner. Don't have kids with someone you don't like - it won't make things better. I'm definitely going to jinx it now, but our little girl is actually sleeping relatively well. The fact that dads can now talk about the mental challenges we face. I love her but it feels like I'm doing some things out of duty at the moment, and that's okay. They are the main ones for now but I would also be grateful if the engineering market could lift. Formula and nappies will send me broke if my clients don't have some pity and show me some more love 🙏😉 Final product recommendations from this wise, old dad: Proper car seat instead of capsule (do all capsules have their chin on their chest and give massive anxiety?). So many dummies, ideally with a gps tracker in them, which would be nice. Polynesian spa play list on Spotify is a life saver. Nappies with the blue line for wee. My child screams bloody murder being changed, so it's a relief to check quickly Owlet sock gives great peace of mind but is a pain in the arse when it is beeping in the middle of the night after losing connection. Still an 8/10. As always, if you have some more tips for this tired person, let me know. And if you are an engineer or an engineering consultancy, I promise I'm not too tired to help you out. Call me!

We are a happy little bunch of Vegemite's at Vivid!! Today, we are celebrating International Day of Happiness… because we all need a bit of happiness in our lives. And we are all a little happier together (aren’t we, Nick and Lee? 😉). All jokes aside… did you know that in 2011, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution that recognised happiness as a “fundamental human goal” and called for “a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes the happiness and well-being of all peoples”? “International Day of Happiness is more than just a fun celebration; it also reminds us all that the world is a better place when we connect with and care about the people around us” — Dr Mark Williamson (March 2015) So with that in mind, we are sprinkling our happiness dust today so we are ‘Happier Together’ - which is the 2024 theme. #InternationalDayofHappinessButton -

INDUSTRY NEWS // Forget Byron Bay or Noosa… Bendigo is the ‘winner winner chicken dinner’ of Australia’s best town!! Essentially, it's not all that surprising; Bendigo is full of architectural gems!! Not to mention a fair whack of construction that has just been completed or in the pipeline. Here are a few projects worthy of a mention, look and explore... Galkangu - Bendigo Govhub → Project - four-storey mass timber structure government office building, including carpark, open plan offices and public interface. → Designed by @lyonsarchitecture and constructed by @icon_construction_ for client, @developmentvic → Completed in May 2023 → Value: $99 Million. Luna Bendigo - mixed-use project → Commencement date - early 2024 → Project - multi-storey development in the King and Queen streets. → Luna will include four commercial spaces and 17 residential apartments → Project being managed by the BULUM Group and Designed by award-winning architect @kavellarisurbandesign @bendigoartgallery Redevelopment → Architecture firms @jcbarchitects and @_claredesign have designed a contemporary, two-storey extension of the Gallery featuring a white exterior, referencing the white clay of the Bendigo region. → Project is estimated to cost $54M when building starts in 2025 → Internal refurbishment was completed by @fenderkatsalidis in 1997, which also helped expand its architectural footprint. Go Benders!! We reckon this is one destination to add to your ‘must-do’ list and we look forward to keeping our eyes peeled on further future developments in the area. #clearandsimple #vividrecruitment #construction #development #engineering #architecture #planning @bendigotimesButton -

INSPIRE INCLUSION // Happy International Women’s Day! 💕 Today, we celebrate the contribution women make to all our lives - at work and at home. Our colleagues, friends, peers, sisters, mums, carers and daughters. We also continue to commit to providing an inclusive and diverse work environment, free of bias, to inspire inclusion. And we challenge our industry and those we work with to continue to do the same. With the Gender Pay Gap report now out (and boy, were there a few surprises revealed among Architecture and landscape Architecture firms!!), we need to do better to ensure that all employees are equally valued and rewarded in their workplace. So let’s ‘Inspire Inclusion’ not only today but every day. #VividRecruitment #Engineering #Construction #Planning #Architecture #Design #ClearAndSimple #BusinessSupport #womeninengineering #womeninarchitecture #InternationalWomensDay #inspireinclusionButton -

Today, our fab Vivid team (ok, one was missing!) in Nick and Annie, attended the Australian Women in Recruitment event at @linkedin Thanks to Erin Devlin, Ainsley Johnstone and Jacinta Whelan for sharing their stories. We've been chatting a lot here at HQ about return-to-work parents... and having true flexibility for our families. It's something we value considerably. We all have kids and don't want to miss a moment - no matter how big or small they are! Because hey, we only have our kids on borrowed time before they become their own self-sufficient humans. So we are looking into these options more as we look to grow our recruitment team... to support part-time RTW parents, foster a family-friendly environment, and harness work/life balance. If this is something you are interested in, we are always happy to have the convo. Reach out to either Nick or Lee... → 0426 180 254 / nick@vividrecruitment.com.au → 0406 470 020 / lee@vividrecruitment.com.au #recruitment #womeninrecruitment #flexibilityButton -

INDUSTRY NEWS // With median house prices in the country rising by a "staggering" 54 per cent in three years, according to the @regionalaus (RAI), and the rental vacancy rate is at a near-record low of 1.2 per cent, could building high-rises in bush and coastal towns be the answer? @masterbuildersaust chief executive Denita Wawn said with so many younger Australians moving away from capital cities, regional towns needed to have a conversation about embracing apartment living. With that said, the @begavalleyshire Council is considering a development application for a 52-unit apartment complex in Merimbula. And @dubboregionalcouncil has approved its first high-rise development — three apartment blocks, of up to 15-storeys! So, Planners, Architects and Engineers - what do you reckon? Is this the way to go? Construction for jobs is always a good thing, right?! Read more via @abcnews_au #clearandsimple #vividrecruitment #construction #development #engineering #architectureButton -

INDUSTRY NEWS // Poor old Docklands has always struggled to meet expectations - quite possibly like the middle child in any family (isn’t that right, @leekstevens 😉). But new life could be breathed into the area! Yup, did you see the news last week? There’s a bold plan to explore a major new development opportunity at @marvelstadium.au and @afl House. “While it remains to be seen how the project will unfold, the proposal would however be separate to state government’s $225 million investment in the redevelopment of Marvel Stadium, which was completed in 2023”. This new development would look at revitalising the waterfront and enhance Marvel as a sports and entertainment precinct. Boo-ya! And with @costco_aus now confirming that they will close Docklands (potentially as early as August this year) and relocate to Ardeer, the area could do with some happiness and further evolution. Of course, we love the development opportunities and growth that this may bring to our industries. Watch this space (or read more via @docklands_news 🔗 in bio).

Happy happy birthday to our awesome Director Lee Stevens!! 🥳 We might still be on holiday, and you are most likely working on your golf swing... but we couldn't let the day pass without saying something. We hope you have a sensational day... and we'll see you back in the office next Monday (15 January - yup, we are back!) for the start of a cracker Vivid year. #VividRecruitment #Engineering #Construction #Planning #Architecture #Design #ClearAndSimpleButton -

AND THAT’S A WRAP // Yup, we had our Christmas Party on Friday night! And it was, literally, too much fun… well, maybe except for the escape room. 🫣 NB lads… don’t take someone creative to a highly challenging mathematical game - it will only end in tears. But the fiercely competitive mini-golf game between Nicholas and Lee was a belter!! (Check out the scorecard 🤣) The night we coincided with Annie’s Vivid initiation prior to her official start when we are back on deck 15 January. (Frankly, we hope she still turns up in the New Year 😅) Thanks for your hospitality Rockpool, Crown and the numerous bars on our walking tour of Melbourne. Who else can say they did 10,000 steps at their Chrissy party? Our office is now closed until we return. We will, however, still be checking our emails, and of course, we can help with any urgent requests. Thanks for the laughs, Team Vivid. Can't wait to continue where we have left off, next year. 🎉 #VividRecruitment #FunNight #ChristmasParty #ClearAndSimple #ThatsaWrapButton -

OUR YEAR IN REVIEW // Say whattttt? We are near the end of 2023, and it only feels like it began yesterday! Sooooo much has happened. We started the year at the Aus Tennis Open with fab clients. Got a few rounds of golf in while the weather was tops. ⛳️ Lee and Nicholas got all fancy and attended the Architecture Awards… But the biggest news… both added to their families. Lee and his partner welcomed a baby boy to make them a family of 4… and Nick and his partner welcomed a little girl… their first for their little tribe. Amongst it all (some would say a period of chaos), we made placements across 20 clients over 3 states, with 97% of our perms still in their role. 😅 And we picked up 5 new clients to add to our ever-expanding portfolio of goodness. All in all. Not. Too. Bad. With our break looming, we are looking forward to taking a bit of RnR with the fam while recharging to start 2024 with a bang. Our office will be closed from 15 December and back on 15 January 2024. Don’t fret, though; we will still be checking our emails, and of course, we can help with any urgent requests during this time. Thanks for the memories, 2023!! #VividRecruitment #Engineering #Construction #Planning #Architecture #Design #ClearAndSimpleButton -

After a few covid related cancellations, we finally had a little Vivid getaway. With beautiful sun and some very average golf, it was just what we needed before a busy run into Christmas.Button -

This week marked our 1 year anniversary of Vivid Recruitment. While it has been a roller-coaster of emotions, it has been the best decision we have ever made. We can't thank our clients, candidates, friends and family enough for the constant support we have got throughout and we cannot wait to see what the future holds. Hopefully plenty more beers, laughs and placements.Button -

After a crazy 2020, we have finished the year with a bang and locked in our first office. Starting our own business in the middle of a pandemic and recession presented its challenges but it has been the best decision we have ever made. We are so grateful to everyone who has helped us in our first year and to our candidates and clients who have put their trust in us. We can't wait to continue helping people and businesses in 2021. Merry Christmas and happy new year from Vivid Recruitment.Button -

First post restrictions business meeting was a great success. It's bloody great to be back out and about. We are feeling the market is slowly returning and keen to chat to anyone in the engineering, architecture and planning space that might be looking for work or looking to grow the team. #vividrecruitment #architecture #engineering #planning #melbourne #constructionButton -
