Mission Australia Employment Solutions at Nowra has achieved a first, placing a jobseeker through a video.

Mission Australia recently launched its visual resume program Meetseeker, and Shoalhaven Excavations operations manager Kris Peters was one of the first prospective employers to look at the program. Mr Peters gave up his time to attendedthe new program's launch day on June 23 in which he got to meet some of Mission Australia's jobseekers, and also give his feedback on the program.

After regularly turning to Mission Australia for help finding new staff, Mr Peters used Meetseeker to hire Lino Nuualiitia.

"Despite Lino having no previous demolition experience I really liked his enthusiasm and the way he presented himself on Meetseeker, that's what really sold me in the end," Mr Peters said.

Mission Australia Shoalhaven business manager David Rawson said the response from the business community had been overwhelming, with several local businesses "really taking this new technology on board as the way of the future for recruiting new staff".
