Industry Employment Partners and Specialists at WISE and how they can support your business
Finding the right person for your team takes time, insight and the right support. At WISE, our Industry Employment Partners (IEPs) and Industry Employment Specialists (IESs) work closely with employers to understand your business and connect you with people who are a strong fit.
Each IEP specialises in a specific industry. This means they understand the roles you are hiring for, the challenges you face and the skills that matter most, whether that’s technical ability, reliability, or how someone works as part of a team.
What is an Industry Employment Partner or Specialist?
An Industry Employment Partner (IEP) or Industry Employment Specialist (IES) is a recruitment professional who focuses on a particular industry. At WISE, this means they understand your workforce needs and work with both employers and job seekers to create meaningful, sustainable employment opportunities, not just fill a vacancy.
How industry specialists support employers
Our industry specialists take a tailored approach to recruitment, supporting you at every stage of the hiring process.
This includes:
- Understanding your business and workforce needs, including team dynamics and role requirements
- Identifying and matching suitable candidates based on skills, goals and work preferences
- Supporting inclusive hiring practices, including adjustments where needed
- Assisting with job design to ensure the role is set up for success
- Helping you access wage subsidies and funding where eligible
- Providing post-placement support to both you and your employee
Rather than sending through a high volume of candidates, the focus is on quality and fit.
Why work with an industry specialist?
Working with an industry specialist means you are supported by someone who understands your industry and how roles operate day to day.
This can help you:
- Save time by narrowing down suitable candidates
- Find people with the right mix of skills and potential
- Reduce turnover by improving job fit from the start
- Build a more inclusive and diverse workforce
- Create sustainable employment outcomes
Supporting both employers and job seekers
Our IEPs and IESs work with both employers and WISE customers pursuing careers in your industry. This allows for a more targeted approach to recruitment. Candidates are not only matched on skills, but also on their goals, preferences and readiness for the role, helping create a better fit for both sides.
Our support also continues after your new employee starts. We provide ongoing post placement support to help both you and your employee settle into the role and build a strong working relationship.
