The Sunshine Coast’s largest local recruitment and employment firm, HRM Contracting and Consulting, last week announced that they will offer free assistance to Bonza staff looking for new roles in light of the ongoing uncertainty around the future of the airline.
Founder of HRM, Sally Desch said, “We currently have 30 positions we need to fill, and I have no doubt that there will be many Bonza employees that will be ideal for some of these roles.”
“The roles include hospitality, administration, management accounting, accounts and IT services and many of the Bonza staff will have transferrable skills that will make them very attractive candidates for these positions.
Sally said that this will be a very stressful time for employees, who have been stood down without pay for the second week in a row, and said that while they await further news from the administrators they should consider casual or temp work to help with cash flow.
“We understand that during this extended stand-down period, employees can take on casual or temporary roles without impacting their entitlements. This is important because many people are living wage to wage, so we need to help find them jobs quickly to ease their financial stress.”
“Job loss understandably adds a lot of pressure to people when they have financial commitments but there are things people can do that will help ease that pressure temporarily while they get back on their feet.”
Sally is also encouraging all organisations who have roles they are currently recruiting for, to contact her.
