How to Streamline Your Hiring Process

It’s no secret that getting your hiring process right is a crucial step toward recruiting the right people. Focussing on the relevant questions and processes while removing unnecessary admin is key.

Get the right candidates

The first thing to get right is the beginning of the process: let’s get the right people applying for the role. People apply for roles based on how you describe it and where you advertise it.

Getting the role description correct is critical here. It’s essential to write it in a way that candidates identify with the role and want to apply for it. That means explaining the role and clearly articulating the benefits, too.

Review pre-screening procedures

The reality of the job market is that you’ll still get resumes that are duds or people that aren’t the right fit for the organisation. You want to screen these people out before they get to the formal interview process to save time.

The first thing to do is review the candidate’s resumes and look for common red flags, like:

  • Major grammar mistakes and typos
  • Failure to include requested documentation
  • Unexplained employment gaps & job hopping
  • Right to work in Australia

If you filter out people with red flags on their resume, you’ll save yourself time calling or interviewing them at the very least. The next thing is to do a screening call. This is a quick vibe check on the candidate. In this call, you should see their expectations and what they’re looking for. 

Use an Applicant Tracking System

All the paperwork is piling up for you at this point. If you’re a small team or are constantly hiring new staff, all the resumes, calls, and notes can become overwhelming. An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) can help manage the paperwork and make it all make sense.

A good ATS typically has a candidate’s paperwork in their file. That way, you don’t need to find their resume and notes from their screening call before the interview.

Make the interview count

Make sure you ask the right questions in the interview. Some people might look great on paper but interview poorly. Others might interview quite well, but have a hidden issue that comes out during the process.

Be sure to ask the right questions that are unique to your business. It’s also important to gauge the applicant’s attitude and not just their technical skillset. 

Don’t waste time

The final thing is to progress applicants through this process as quickly as possible. The longer the process drags on, the more likely candidates drop off, or get another job entirely.

In FY25, Victorian Keno players enjoyed almost 10 million wins worth more than $131.9 million.

For many club patrons across Victoria, FY25 was a year to remember – all thanks to a life-changing Keno win.

Victorian players had a standout year, tallying over 9.9 million Keno wins collectively worth than $131.9 million in prize money.

In FY25, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 76 million wins collectively worth more than $1.2 billion.

During this time, Keno crowned 20 millionaires and multi-millionaires who together took home more than $57.9 million. Two of these major jackpot winners were from Victoria.

Laverton woman thanks ‘manifestation magic’ for Keno win

A Laverton woman shared she was left thanking the universe after she scored a $60,000 Keno Classic 8 Spot prize at Club Laverton in the weeks leading up to last Christmas.

“It was a big surprise! Especially coming up to Christmas, it’s perfect!” she cheered.

“Do you want to hear something really funny? I just wrote in my diary the day before winning, ‘Thank you, universe, for my Keno 8 Spot win’. Then it really came true!

“I’m a firm believer in the law of attraction and manifestation, and I love affirmations!

“It was awesome seeing all eight numbers pop up on the screen.

“I’ve had a few wins in Keno over the years. It’s like the stars align for me when I play - it’s my thing!”

Club Laverton manager Gus Alimovski said the team happily shared in the excitement with their major Keno winner.

“What an incredible win for our patron! It’s always great hearing these winning stories, and now we have another one to share with our patrons,” he said.

“We’re thrilled for our customer, and we hope to see more Keno winners in our venue soon.”

All eyes on a winning FY26

Keno’s National Partner Manager Luke Harrison said he couldn’t wait to see which Victorian clubs welcomed the next big Keno winners.

“Last financial year, players at Victorian clubs celebrated some impressive victories,” he said.

“A key highlight has been the growing popularity of Keno’s Bonus and Replay features among club patrons. This trend reflects how venues are successfully connecting with their customers, sharing updates on jackpot increases, promotional offers, and game enhancements.

“When players opt into Keno Bonus, they unlock the chance to multiply their winnings by up to ten times, while the Replay option adds another layer of excitement.

“Many players are still unaware of these features, making it vital for staff to start conversations and educate them on the full range of Keno possibilities!”

Mr Harrison said the solid Keno performance at Victorian clubs last financial year laid a strong foundation for continued success in FY26. 

“Clubs across Victoria are embracing fresh approaches to elevate the customer experience, and Keno’s rising popularity is playing a key role in that journey,” he said.

“There’s also a wide array of Keno resources available to clubs, from eye-catching point-of-sale materials to engaging promotions, all designed to keep the game front and centre.

“As the new financial year unfolds, Keno is looking forward to celebrating more big wins for Victorian club patrons, and more success stories for the clubs that host them.”
