Meet people2people: Claire Jordan

In today's edition of our Meet people2people series, we sat down with one of the consultants in our Brisbane team, Claire Jordan. Specialising in the business support and accounts clerical markets, Claire joined the recruitment industry in 2001. She spent the first two and a half years with the healthcare sector, but the bulk of her career was in the environmental, health & safety sector in the UK. Claire's longevity in the recruitment industry in both the UK and Australian markets has enabled her to quickly recognise and interpret the needs of her clients and candidates to provide solutions fast.

What is the most rewarding part of your job?

I am based in the Brisbane office, and I am affectionately known as Mrs Mangle ! I like to learn everything I can about the company/people/culture and also about my candidates and what drives them. I love the thrill of making the offer of a new role and hearing the candidate's excitement, knowing that I have actually made a difference in someone's life.

What’s one piece of advice you would give to employers looking for staff?

To find the right cultural fit, skills can be taught. Most of all, employers should under recruit, giving the new employee an opportunity to learn new skills and develop into the role, keeping them excited and interested and, most importantly, engaged.

What are the main qualities you look for in a resume?

No spelling mistakes!!! The number of candidates who write that they have, for example, 'high attentions to details' (sic) is staggering.

What is your most valuable interview tip?

Dress to impress, be yourself and, most importantly, remember to be polite and respectful to the receptionist.

Coffee or tea?

You may expect me to say tea as I'm English, however I am have to say it's coffee, unless, of course, it's a good, strong builders' brew!

What’s your favourite spot in Brisbane?

Redcliffe – it has a great dog beach!

If you are looking for work or would like to hire staff, get in touch with Claire by calling 07 3118 0125 or emailing claire@people2people.com.au.

2023 has seen an significant rise of workplaces introducing A.I. into their workplace with tools such as Chat GPT becoming more utilized in day to day tasks. In recent years, AI has made significant advancements and is now being effectively applied across diverse industries, including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and logistics. While there has been some resistance from employees who may fear for their jobs relevancy , organizations are increasingly embracing artificial intelligence tools and analytics. What are the benefits of A.I. in the workplace? Increased Efficiency and Productivity AI can automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, allowing employees to focus on more complex and strategic activities. By streamlining processes and reducing manual labor, AI technologies can significantly enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace. Enhanced Customer Experience AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can deliver personalized and round-the-clock customer support. These AI systems can provide instant responses, address customer queries, and even handle transactions autonomously. By improving response times and offering tailored experiences, AI can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. Cost Reduction AI technologies can help reduce operational costs in various ways. By automating manual tasks, businesses can decrease labor expenses. AI can also optimize resource allocation, supply chain management, and inventory control, minimizing waste and optimizing efficiency. Additionally, AI can identify areas of potential cost savings through data analysis and process optimization. However in a recent people2people social media poll, it was revealed that 52.6% of workers in Australia find that since introducing A.I. into the workplace, their job has become worse/more difficult. Despite the rise of popularity, this indicates that there is still some hesitancy amongst the majority of people. What are the disadvantages of A.I. in the workplace? Job displacement AI automation can make certain job roles redundant, leading to unemployment and necessitating new skill acquisition. Ethical biases AI systems can perpetuate biases if trained on biased data, resulting in unfair treatment or discriminatory outcomes. Lack of human judgment AI lacks the nuanced decision-making abilities of humans, potentially leading to flawed decisions and a lack of ethical considerations.
