Don’t let their knowledge leave with them

When an employee leaves, the gap they create extends well beyond the vacant role. Key contacts, processes, work in progress, system access, and valuable knowledge can disappear with them if you don’t capture it before they go.

Our practical Exit Interview Guide for Managers helps you ask the right questions, document what matters and create a smoother handover before their final day.

I have had the pleasure of working with CBC Staff Selection a number of times. My interaction with CBC Staff Selection has always been very professional and their willingness to go the extra mile to provide the best possible temporary staff with the desired skills and abilities is most impressive.

We have had a very positive experience working with CBC Staff Selection. Their team takes the time to understand our needs and consistently delivers suitable candidates who match both the role requirements and team culture. They are responsive, efficient, and always a pleasure to work with.

Over the past four years, I have worked with CBC as a recruitment partner on a number of recruitment campaigns and have been consistently impressed with their service. Virginia has successfully placed several candidates within our organisation, demonstrating a strong understanding not only of the skills and experience required for each role, but also of the importance of ensuring candidates are the right fit for our business. The success of these recruits has been largely attributable to her ability to align candidates' goals and values with our business objectives and team culture.

Tanara has been working to support my priority short-term recruitment needs for many years. I love that she has taken the time to really understand my business and uses this to match the best people for the roles. The use of agency staff from CBC gives opportunity for them to experience this work in an entry level role which has seen many successes over the years with staff progressing into long term employment and progressing into leadership roles. I look forward to continuing to work with Tanara and the staff from CBC.

I’ve really enjoyed working with you and CBC over the last two years. Recruitment can sometimes be challenging, particularly when we’re looking for the right person for specialised roles or when we need to fill a position quickly. I’ve always appreciated how responsive, approachable and supportive you are throughout the process. You take the time to understand what we’re looking for and have provided us with some great candidates. Communication is always easy, professional and friendly.

I wanted to let you know how much I value working with you and the CBC team. Our staffing requirements are quite specific and I appreciate how you take the time to truly understand the skillset we are looking for and then matching that with candidates. Your success in doing this can be measured by the number of staff we have in our employ today who originally came to us through CBC, it’s a lot! Thank you for your professionalism and responsiveness, our recruitment outcomes have certainly benefited from your expertise.

We've been using CBC for our recruitment needs for several years now, and the experience has consistently been a great one. The team is always professional, and what really stands out is the personal touch you bring to selecting candidates – you take the time to understand what we actually need for each role, rather than just filling a position. That care shows in the outcomes: two of the full-time ladies in our Acts team came to us through CBC, and they've been fantastic additions.
We're very happy with CBC and will continue to turn to you for all our future employment needs. Thank you for the support over the years.

Working with CBC has been a great experience, particularly in the recruitment of our office staff. We faced the challenge of finding suitable candidates who matched both our skills requirements and our workplace culture. The CBC team took the time to understand our needs, promptly provided well-suited candidates, and supported us throughout the entire recruitment process. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment made the process smooth and efficient, allowing us to confidently recruit the right staff. We truly appreciate CBC’s ongoing support and would be happy to recommend their recruitment services to others.

CBC Staff Selection has been excellent to work with. The entire team communicates exceptionally well, takes the time to understand our needs, and provides regular, efficient updates throughout the recruitment process. What really stands out is their personal and caring approach.
The greatest value for us has been the time saved. CBC thoroughly vets candidates and only puts forward those genuinely suited to the role, which makes the interview and selection process far more efficient. We've achieved great recruitment outcomes through CBC and truly value their local knowledge, commitment, and professional service. I would highly recommend CBC Staff Selection to any business looking for quality recruitment support.
