With electricianXchange I know that I'd get quality tradesmen to do the work for me. I feel comfortable using electricianXchange. The administration and the work put in by us for the electricians took minimal amount of time. This was advantageous to our business as it allowed us to be able to do other things we needed to do.
Isabelle Smith
Office Administration Manager, HSE
We urgently needed about 10 A Grade electricians having come into a lot of work for big jobs. Using electricianXchange was quite fast and we got the employees we needed within the week. So it was a really good experience. electricianXchange was very cost effective to use. It was really easy to access and we found it was very useful.
Chris Fenwick
Managing Director, Kane & Co Electrical Contractors
The best feature I found with electricianXchange was the rate being set so you negotiated a discount off an offer rate already set. So I find usually getting to a rate hard work. With electricianXchange it is set already and we negotiate a discount from there, which was great. I also found it very easy to set up the ad, put in our bid and then interact off the website. So I found the electricianXchange website easy to use. And being specifically for the electrician trade, I found it saved me a lot of time.
Peter Manakis
Managing Director, PLM Electrics
The way of the future for electricians is through digital platforms like electricianXchange.
James Keegan
Previously Director, NECA Victoria
electricianXchange was designed by contractors, for contractors. Our contractors said they needed something to make it easier for them to do business with each other. So we created electricianXchange..
Peter Van Den Akker
Managing Director, VDA Electrical
We were looking for an A Grade electrician and posted our job on the electricianXchange website. It was much cheaper than SEEK and the website was very easy to navigate and within a few clicks we could post our jobs. We received 10 applicants from electricianXchange all qualified electricians. After shortlisting the candidate we hired two A-Grade electricians. In future we will be using only electricianXchange to hire our electricians, it saves us time and money.
Declan Street
Managing Director
Usually when we post our jobs on the other job website, we receive many applicants from all over the world with skills like auto electricians, builder or plumbers. It was a relief not to have to sift through mountains of irrelevant resumes. Through electricianXchange we received candidates with the right qualifications, exactly what we hoped to attract. We received 8 application and hired two A-Grade electricians. We’ll definitely use it again
Gerard Lyons
Service Delivery Manager, Keece Electrical Services
We advertised on electricianXchange for A Grade Electricians and Estimators. We had 20 qualified electricians applying. We were able to fill our position through electricianXchange. We are happy with our advertising for electrical jobs through electricianXchange and would recommend electricianXchange to any other employer looking for similar talent.
Jessica Cardona
Manager, APEC Electrical & Communication
We advertised for a qualified electrician through electricianXchange. It was for someone to come in and work with us on a casual basis. We were really surprised to see 14 qualified electricians applying as its not easy to find electricians to work for you on a casual basis. We would advertise again on electricianXchange and if anyone is looking for electricians, there is no better site for identifying electricians than electricianXchange. And it makes sense. After all its supported by the industry body for electricians, NECA.
Brad Collinder
Manager, Collinder Electrical
The overall experience has been extremely easy. I signed up as an employer. Paid the fee just like you do with other job boards. We listed the job requirements. Got 6 applicants of which we interviewed 4 which is a really good proportion. . . and then hired one out of that. I will definitely be advertising my job positions through electricianXchange again.

I’ve dealt with Ray and Electrician xchange from its inception. Ray is a genuinely caring man that has and will go out of his way to help all in the electrical industry to gain/provide employment in a timely and personal way. The website is constantly being improved and has grown dramatically. I highly recommend this service and commend Ray and his team in having the foresight to help the electrical industry with employment opportunities for employers and employees alike.
John Harding

We have used electricianXchange to help recruit staff for our Electrical business that works with Reneweable energy services.
Ray's wealth of knowledge has been great in helping us plan our approach to finding the right team members. Highly recommend his services.
Phill Craig

Ray and his team have been incredible for our business over the past 6 months & ongoing. Great communication at all times. Dedicated and persistent attention to detail and the task of recruiting the best and most appropriate staff for our business, at all times.

I have found that the employer that I have been connected with are as per the details I requested when looking for job opportunities.
Ray was fantastic at chasing up on how it was progressing with the prospective employer. I would recommend that anybody sign up.
Richard Ward

We had deadlines to meet on a large project where we needed short term labour to assist us to get the job done. Ray and the team at electricianXchange did a great job and found us 3 suitable contractors that came on board immediately. This enabled us to hit our target's, stay on program and keep doing what we do.
Wendy Bell
Business Manager
Like many HR Managers seeking to employ highly trained and qualified A-Grade Electricians I was finding it a lengthy, expensive, and frustrating experience. A-Grades were very few and much in demand. As 'rare as hen's teeth' I heard. Electricians tend to stay in their jobs while seeking new work so are not on traditional recruitment sites. When I discovered electricianxchange's two way search platform it changed my search process. It specialises in Electricians and allows employers and Electricians to meet online to find a 'Perfect Match' prior to making an employment agreement. Ray Pavri, the founder helped facilitate this process. My company only paid once employment was complete rather than upfront or on commission. In summary electricianxchange is a fair, transparent and competitively priced solution to recruitment. Thank you.
Michael Pradipta

Ray is passionate about what he's doing and genuinely care about both job seekers and employers. I would recommend electricianxchange to any electrical apprentices looking for work.

TCK Solar
Business Owner
We have been using Seek.com for years and response to our expensive ads were lacking in no. and quality of application. We were recommended electricianxchange by one of our electrical subcontractors when he got to busy to work with us. We will never go back. We have employed 8 out of our 10 new staff from posting our ads and the level of applications was terrific. Ray has also been an amazing support as we navigated the process. We would highly recommend electricianxchange to any body hiring and any one looking for work in the industry.
Brad Fonceca
A-Grade Electrician
Ray and the team greatly help me in finding constant and ongoing work within the electrical industry. electricianXchange really works!
Mirko Blatancic

I have been using electricianxchange for years and I find them punctual, professional and good communicators. Placing ads for staff you are looking for is very easy. They regularly follow up and updating your ad is like editing Microsoft Word. If you have any difficulties Ray is happy to answer your phone call and he is happy to call you back. Also if you an employee you can easily search potential jobs or apply for the job.The pricing is reasonable.

Joel Handcock, Electrical Apprentice, Simplot Australia
An electrical apprentice's pursuit towards excellence
22nd June,2020
Joel Handcock represents the many apprentices who put in 100% towards trying to pursue a career in electro-technology, finding a tough pathway towards being able to do this. Joel started as a maintenance fitter in 2007 and decided he wanted to pursue an electro-technology pathway from an early age, but found the opportunities not forthcoming where he was located in regional Victoria. It took him until 2017, when his company Simplot Australia gave him the green light to move from his now established maintenance fitter tradesman role, to start back as an electrical apprentice where he commenced sweeping floors as most apprentices do in the early stages. In 2019 his TAFE in Bendigo recognised his work by awarding him the Apprentice of the year award putting his name subsequently forward for the Global Apprenticeship Network (GAN) award which Joel also won collecting in the process a cheque for $12,000. Joel hopes to use this money to visit Simplot US and learn about automation & PLC programming. Ray talks to Joel on his quest towards his desire to become an electrician and what others could learn if they intend heading down the same path.

Electricians who are innovative - protecting your creative idea
15th June,2020
Are you an electrician who feels there is a better product which can be created to make life simpler not just for yourself but for others while at work? But if you spend your spare hours developing a product which benefits not just you but others, why not make it a commercial reality? After all, if its a pain point for you, it must be a pain point for your peers as well?
But creating a commercial asset out of an idea requires you to protect that asset and a patent / trade mark is one way to protect that asset.
In this podcast, Ray talks to Sam Park, a patent & trade mark attorney about how to protect ideas which have the potential to be commercialised.
David Hemmi
Electricians pushing conventional career boundaries
9th June,2020
David personifies the Millennial, having moved across multiple careers over the past 14-15 years. He started off as an electrician in Switzerland in 2007 and is presently an Investment Analyst at a Venture Capital Investment Firm in Melbourne. Along the way, he picked up a Bachelors in Systems Engineering, a Masters degree in Robotics and a PhD in Computer Science. But then they say - it’s not what you start with which is important. It’s what you do with what you start up with which is.
The thing which struck me most about David and his relevance for electricians in general and electricianXchange in particular, was his emphasis that his hands-on experience as an electrician gave him an added lever in all of the roles he subsequently took up. He is someone who has the unique ability to provide guidance to anyone qualified as an electrician wondering what to do next.
To any electrician listening to this podcast - based on David's journey - the world is your oyster.

Jason Twyman, Electrician, Innovator, MD - Make Safe Connector
An electrician's inspiring innovation story
7th May,2020
Have there been times at work when you've said to yourself - wouldn't it be better if - to a particular pain point, you and others around you have faced?
That pretty much is the start of creativity and innovation - towards something better - a new product or a process which addresses the pain point.
But how many of us take this though and convert that into a new product in our spare time, experiment with it till there is a solution, get a patent for it, determine the broader market for it and then try to earn some money from it?
We've all got this within us - and here is a way to learn how someone else, in this case Jason Twyman, did it.
Have a listen to this great podcast on an electrician innovator and his journey.
Tessa Ogle, MD - Electrical Industries Charity, UK
Mental health as it applies to electricians
4th May,2020
Mental health as it relates to electricians & electrical workers is not discussed as much as it should. It is as serious as any physical health related issues, yet is not getting much acknowledgement. In the UK there is a separate organisation called Electrical Industries Charity which cateres to this very topic as it relates to UK electricians & electrical workers. Is it time something like this was thought about for Australia?

Making the most with what you have
8th April,2020
This podcast follows a post on electricianXchange's FaceBook page (https://www.facebook.com/electricianXchange.com.au) on why we should not focus on things we have no control over (like the economy, jobs potentially being lost) focusing rather on things we have within our control. This podcast gleans through Dean's experience how he is adopting this philosophy as owner of his business.
