New features, industry awards, FILEX offer and 72 hr ads : 27 Apr 2010
New feature: Finding your job, profile or franchise is even easier
All visitors to the HealthyPeople website can now search our database for opportunities by keyword, a location or a business name. Furthermore, any search on location will activate a 'See also:' feature, pointing them to suburbs within a 5km radius that also contain a job, profile and/or franchise opportunity. This makes it even easier for candidates to find their next step in their fitness career - whether it's working in your facility or breaking out on their own with your franchise opportunity.
Check out the results for Carlton or Genesis.
New feature: 'Preferred supplier' link
Over the coming months (particularly after FILEX) we will be populating this section with information relevant to industry people. There are already a couple of links for you to look over. If you've got something to promote, please email me for more information.
Do you have a copy of the latest fitness industry award rates?
Employers often ask me what going rates of pay are. The latest fitness industry award rates is a good place to start. If you don't have a copy, grab a one here.
FILEX 2010 - A chance to meet regarding recruitment for your facility
I'll be at FILEX from Wednesday 28th (Fitness Australia Club Tour) until Sunday afternoon. I welcome any opportunity to talk in person about how HealthyPeople can assist you in building an optimal team over the next 12 months. All our services are unique and specifically designed to meet the needs of our industry. Even if recruitment is not currently high on your agenda, understanding what is available to you when the need arises could prove a valuable in the future. I can be reached on my mobile (0414 481 525) or by email at dennis@healthypeople.com.au. I'll also be spending some time at the Advance Fitness Marketing stand (P34) so feel free to meet me there.
Special offer: Purchase a Business Membership during FILEX and get a FREE job ad.
Would FREE 72 hour ads would be helpful for emergency fills?
Beginning in May, we'd like to experiment with 'emergency ads' for our Business Members. These 'emergency ads' are free (maximum of three over the next six months) and can be used to advertise whatever positions you like. These ads will be listed on HealthyPeople, sent to our database of
registered professionals and listed on our social networking accounts
(that is, there will be no Seek listing). If you're a Business Member and would like to take advantage of this, please send the ad details to me directly CLEARLY INDICATING that the ad is to go up for 72 hours only. If you have any suggestions on how this could work, please include it in our blog.

A new survey discovers people actually lie in job interviews (shock!) : 29 Jul 2010
We all knew it, but it's interesting to see it quantified all the same.
Apparently the biggies are exaggerated work experience, fake references and fibs about previous salaries.
Based on interviews with 1010 Australians, Galaxy Research cited the most common lies as:
- Stretching the truth on previous work experience, 17 per cent
- Pals acting as referees, 16 per cent of respondents
- Overinflated previous salaries, 10 per cent
- Entirely fake references, six per cent
- Bogus qualifications, three per cent.
So, if it's not already a part of your recruitment process, (double) check all relevant claims made by any candidates. A small time cost in the beginning could mean massive savings down the line.
