Nishi Chhabra (NPA #8638) of Prism Consultancy Solutions in Sydney, NSW, Australia, has made the firm’s first NPA split placement. Nishi provided a Web Developer in the Software Industry to Treacy Sheehan (NPA #8771) of Trace Personnel Pty Ltd. in Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Nishi said: "The beauty of doing business is that you can strike gold almost every day depending upon who you meet. Likewise in 2017 I met someone in the world of recruitment who suggested that I should join NPAworldwide and here we are today, I’m reaping the benefits! Today, I feel this was the best suggestion that was made to me in the formation of my business."
 
"I have background from the Telecom & IT industry, and the suggestions from the IT consultancy world were that I should not be stepping into recruitment but stay in consultancy. What I experienced is that once you've decided to be in recruitment, NPA is the right place to find support and grow in many ways. I find NPA to be a very supportive environment full of professionals with extensive experience, and innovative ideas. Help is always at hand in solving business problems as many have experienced similar problems in part of setting up a recruitment business."

"In this journey, I met with many people with whom we could create supportive networks," Nishi said. "Ms. Treacy Sheehan (Managing Director) and Miss Miriam Cobby (Recruitment Manager) at Trace Personnel were the first ones to lean on me to provide help with a few roles to fill with long-term clients. It was quite encouraging and motivating to see how these brave ladies are battling through this tough business climate and can afford to continue to smile as they move along! We struck our first split with Treace Personnel - “YES!” This offered not only a cheer for both parties, but it also gave a taste of what support feels like financially. This financial help supports people working with you behind the scenes, brings in efficiency and you'll see how networks of client-side and candidate side can come together making efforts for all parties very fruitful."
 
"I would recommend this network to anyone whether it is an amateur or an established business. Overall associating with NPA worldwide has been a great experience and I can foresee that it will continue to be like that for years to come," Nishi said.

Treacy added: "Trace Personnel has been an NPA member since 2007. NPA members worldwide -- especially in Australia and NZ, as they are the people our business has the most interaction with -- are warm, caring, and above all professional in providing support for finding the right candidates for our clients.  We can support all areas of a business as we use NPA members to find candidates in fields we don’t specialise in. Nishi from Prism Consultancy Solutions is one such member from which we have done our first split with.  PCS specialise in IT, and, as our areas of expertise are not IT, we can work with Nishi, and he understands the brief from the client and has no problem in filling the role with the Trace banner.  It’s a win win for both parties. When I first joined the NPA great people would say 'if not but for ….... you would not have the placement.' It’s a great reminder of how supportive the NPA network is."
 
This is a great story of how you can lean on your NPA partners who work outside your specialization (or geography) to help with ALL your client's needs. Great work Nishi and Treacy!
