People in practice get connected

Anyone who has worked in engineering is only too aware of how small the industry can be, which often makes it difficult when you are in the early stages of selling your practice or finding a new job.

Practice Point (www.practicepoint.com.au) is claimed to offer a secure environment for professionals in financial planning, legal, accountancy, engineering and healthcare practices to offer or seek partnerships, sell or purchase a practice, buy or rent office space and recruit staff and seek out positions.

Using 'stealth' email, a confidential messaging system, users can remain anonymous while they are in the early stages of selling their practice, negotiating a merger or job seeking.

In addition, Practice Point is claimed to change the online professional job market, not only through its anonymity feature, but with its low-volume, high-quality offering. Unlike the major online recruitment sites, Practice Point operates in niche markets and accordingly attracts a lower number of visitors, but a higher quality of job applicant.

Practice Point also provides practice principals and partners with the opportunity to seek out investment opportunities across other industries. Practice Point is claimed to offer users the perfect environment in which to discreetly research these opportunities.
