The buoyant nature of the Australian economy and the ‘boom’ in the mining, resources, construction and industry sectors brings with it the challenges of not only retention but the attraction and recruitment of quality people in a labour market experiencing massive skill shortages.

Artemis Talent Pool Management (ATPM) is based on two years of extensive global research. This research focused on what clients have described as the main reason for not being able to achieve business outcomes – the severe shortage of skilled professionals – both blue and white collar.

Through its joint venture partners in the Philippines, China, South Africa and Eastern Europe, Artemis Talent Pool Management is able to source a range of professionals with backgrounds in the construction, engineering, mining and resources industries and relocate them to Australia, Canada and the Middle East.

Talent Pool Management is about:

• A professional integrated service, utilising extensive research based methodologies and best practice selection and recruitment techniques, including comprehensive due diligence, research and risk management principles.
• The global sourcing of high quality talent and the recognition of cultural diversity and cultural fit.
