They advertised on seek Full Time hours as a pick packer. Once I was accepted for the position Skill hire made me pay for my drug and alcohol test. During my induction I find out that they in fact won’t be giving me full time hours for the next 3 months and will instead be working 4 hours a day, 4 days a week for 3 months “probation period”..that’s not what was advertised on seek and it was never mentioned at any point during any of the interviews until the induction. They are still advertising it as a Full time role. Very deceitful. Please find attached photos of advertisement as evidence.

I wasn’t going to write a review, but to this day, it still annoys me that I wasted my time. I enrolled in Skill Hire’s Carpentry course, which required me to leave midway through Year 11 due to its Monday–Thursday schedule. The course itself was great, I had a lot of fun, made new friends, and always had a laugh with the trainer. That’s why I’m giving it two stars. However, when it came to completing my work placement (150 hours required to receive the $500 payment and my Carpentry Certificate), they never provided one. This was supposed to happen in early September, and I kept emailing them back and forth, but eventually, they stopped responding. Fast forward to November, and I suddenly received a few phone calls from the administration team, as well as someone from Joondalup’s Skill Hire office, asking if I had found a work placement. (I had been searching on my own and had sent them my attempts, but they kept telling me they’d get back to me.) I told them they still haven’t provided me with one. By the end of November, I emailed them, saying that if they couldn’t secure a placement before New Year’s, I wouldn’t be able to continue the course since I was starting a new one in January. Sure enough, January arrived, I had already started my new course, and that’s when they finally emailed me, after four months, saying they had found me a placement. This was despite promising one back in September. It’s frustrating because I paid the $250 course fee but got no work experience, no follow-through on their promises, and terrible communication. On top of that, I couldn’t re-enroll in school to complete Year 12 and graduate because they kept me waiting for so long, ultimately wasting half my year. (I had an NOA with the school saying I would return at the end of the year to complete year 11 and move onto year 12) Loved AJ and the foodtruckt though

Not sure what the problem was. Applied for a job on Seek and was quickly contacted. Initially sounded really positive and was told I would receive a response ASAP but after sending through requested details no response whatsoever even after several followups. I ended up finding a great paying full time role myself which I have happily worked in for a long time but a little professionalism goes a long way.
