Coventry jobseekers will experience a more entrepreneurial approach to finding a job with the entry of Sarina Russo Job Access into the local employment market.

Sarina Russo Job Access has more than 30 years experience in education, employment, training and job creation in Australia.

“We get results for our jobseekers and employers because we think differently, challenge the status quo, deliver with speed and urgency and exceed the expectation of our clients.  This is what our brand stands for and this is why people have trusted our brand for 30 years.”

“In our recent Australian contract, we placed over 130,000 jobseekers with more than 100,000 employers, we believe we will have the same success here in the UK.

“Our entrepreneurial philosophy to getting people a job is simple.  We try to empower people to be accountable and responsible for their lives, to never stop learning, to persist and to believe in themselves with passion,” Ms Russo said

UK CEO, Paul Siffre, said, “It’s an employers’ market and job seekers need to respond positively and take action to improve their employment prospects by improving their confidence and skills through education and training.
