TE’O ANTHONY SOFE
HR & Recruitment Manager “If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood, sweat and tears.” Simon Sinek – British/American author and motivational speaker. Anthony has over 15 years experience in labour recruitment and is a paramount chief with title Te’o in the village of Vaie’e, Safata District, Upolu Island, Samoa. He is also a leader in the local Victorian community, working with the Victorian Police and the Seventh Day Adventist Church to assist young Pasifika people.“People are the engine to any workplace. Without the right people, in the right positions no company would operate effectively, let alone survive.
In my 15 years in recruiting you meet many people from all walks of life. Whether they are a job seeker or in management. They all want the same thing – “Quality catered Service”. Employers want the best employee with specific experience, right skill set and great attitude and the Employee on the other hand wants a Employer that is fair , flexible and provides the best working conditions.
I believe there are two important things you need to master to get the best results for all people alike. First, you need to “Love people”. Some may call it the “care factor”. And secondly, “Communication”. It’s not what you think is best for the job seeker or the Client. If only we would listen, we would know what matters most to them. Only then I can start the recruitment process. It all begins and ends with PEOPLE.”
