Welcome to … Employment Services Queensland

Employment Services Queensland (ESQ) consists of four organisations with over 88 years experience, actively working with business and industry to train and place job seekers.

ESQ now operates from over 30 full-time locations and 38 outreach sites in Queensland.  We have an extensive network of agreements with other providers and can assist with recruitment operations throughout Queensland.

ESQ is a part of Job Services Australia (JSA), a service that has been designed to be flexible and responsive to employer needs, skills in demand in local communities and changing economic times.  It will identify the requirements of your business and ensure job seekers are trained and ready to meet your needs, at a time when you need them.

Specifically, Employment Services Queensland can help you with the following services:

-  High quality recruitment services and advice to help you to find the right staff for your business including:

  • Candidate screening and short-listing support to help match appropriately skilled job seekers with your job opportunities.
  • Work experience opportunities  -  allowing you to be directly involved in developing the on-the-job training and skills that job seekers will need in your particular business.
  • Skills training for job seekers at levels suited to your business needs  -  ESQ  is connected with registered training providers, federal, state and local government agencies, and community and health organisations.
  • Access to the Australian Government’s free online Australian Job Search database to register staff vacancies and search for new staff directly.

Opportunities for wage assistance and subsidies  -  you may be able to receive wage subsidies to help support your business, for example, if you are able to provide ongoing work opportunities to people who have not worked for a while.

Additional support to employ Indigenous Australians  -  a range of support services are available to help you recruit Indigenous Australians.

The members of Employment Services Queensland have worked together on the delivery of services across Queensland and have found that by sharing experience and expertise, they are able to deliver a stronger performing, more diverse service to jobseekers that is holistic, flexible and best meets their needs at the time. The members have now formalised that working relationship to form Employment Services Queensland. ESQ members are:
