Testimonials
"Jo & the Pointer Team have been great to deal with. We needed a VA for our businesses, and within 2 days, our advert was placed, and applications started streaming in. We got 30 applications - 80% were of very high quality. We recently advertised for a different role via Seek, and the experience between Seek and Pointer could not have been more different - Pointer was personalised, 1/2 the price & focused on what we were looking for (NSW based). Highly recommend"
Claire, Dubbo NSW
"Being “progressive” is hard because it makes us different. It is SUPER hard to get staff that are the perfect fit which means that training comes at a huge cost for us. It also means we have to be sure to get someone who is really on board with our whole ethos. Being a paperless office means that I can recruit staff ANYWHERE. I am not restricted to the Gold Coast pool of talent. I actually have a full time employee who works from Tasmania and she worked for us for about 8 months before we met her for the first time!"
Kyelie, IQ Accounting QLD
"Rural Aid supports farmers, their families and the communities they call home. When we recruit, we like to tap into the deep pool of talent that is regional Australia. Pointer Remote makes those connections - cost effectively and efficiently."
John Warlters, Rural Aid CEO
Our business used Pointer Remote to fill a position we'd been unsuccessful recruiting for via traditional channels. We found a perfect fit working interstate. Thanks Jo and team!
Laureta, National Farmers Federation, ACT
“Our firm engaged Pointer Remote Roles to advertise three positions within our business. We found the process of advertising with Pointer simple and we received the profiles of a range of high-quality candidates for all of the roles. Pointer is a fantastic concept and is an easy way to connect with talented professionals who are looking to work remotely. We will certainly use Pointer again when next looking to fill a role remotely.”
Tracey, HR Coordinator at Boyce Chartered Accountants
“In our industry, we are faced with the constant struggle of finding high quality, reliable freelancers to employ when we need to outsource work. My business partner and I both grew up in rural NSW and love the idea of being able to support regional areas. It’s given us an enormous pool of talent that has previously been difficult for us to access.”
Michelle – Co-founder Sunday Collective
Thank you for such a fabulous session. As a business owner working remotely there are always new things to learn - I was asked by a client to look at ways of managing multiple projects so your explanations and demonstrations were particularly useful. Thank you.
Suzanne Rowe, Board Support Services
Having access to a network far beyond what we as a business could access has allowed us to source fresh and incredibly experienced talent that is exactly what we need rather than exactly what we can get. The Pointer Remote system is so easy to work with - time is something we struggle to find at the best of times. It's helped us become more efficient and more effective.
HR is such a huge investment so being able to keep it simple and effective and access some great hires has been a godsend for us. The nature of business has changed for us all so we have referred others in our network to Pointer Remote for that reason.

Remote Readiness - are you ready to employ remotely?
Remote work is a working style allowing professionals to work outside of a traditional office environment. It is based on the concept that work does not need to be in a specific place or location to be executed successfully. Employing remotely can give you access to talent but it is not for everyone. Interested to see if employing from anywhere would suit your organisation?
