We recently used Shazam for a project role we had. It was a simple process of logging onto www.shazam.com.au and registering our details on their website for them to call us. They then matched one of their candidates to our project role and it worked extremely well for us without costing us a huge amount of money or time trying to find someone ourselves.
Too often as a business we allow those little tasks to take us away from what at the end of the day is what we all want to do, bring in the customers and focus on what we are really good at.
You can find further information about the company at www.shazam.com.au or contact them via email marisa@shazam.com.au
