It just got easier for printers to find industry professionals in Brisbane as well as people looking to work in printing to find a job.
Industry veteran, Geoff Curtis, ex-McMillan Printing and Fergies, has hung out the JDA Recruitment shingle in the northern capital and has already placed a number of candidates in good jobs. He’s particularly focused on the burgeoning signage industry while keeping on top of movement in the commercial mainstream.
According to JDA honcho, James Cryer, he brings a wealth of recruitment knowledge to the role, having hired and fired staff over the past 30 years. He recently returned from a management stint in New Guinea.
“With his expertise across all functional roles, Geoff has a focus on recruitment positions such as general management, production, logistics, customer service, marketing, sales and finance,” said Cryer in welcoming the extension of the JDA franchise to Queensland.
According to Curtis, while the labour market is tight in Brisbane there are still some sections with growth. “Most printers are fairly cautious at present. They see reports of businesses closing all the time. But we’re expanding our focus into the signage industry where there is plenty of activity,” he said.
He maintains there has never been a really professional employment service for the printing industry in Queensland. He extends an invitation to all Brisbane printing companies to get in touch when they next need a qualified professional.
