Permanent construction recruitment, Sydney

Permanent recruitment for Sydney construction: leading hands, supervisors, foremen, site administrators and project support. Our best candidates are people we have already placed on Sydney sites and watched work, which is a materially better signal than a résumé. Briefs are taken in person, shortlists are short, and every candidate is reference-checked with their last two supervisors.

  • Candidates we have seen work

    The strongest shortlists come from our own labour hire pool, people whose attendance, attitude and competence we have observed on Sydney sites for months.

  • Short shortlists

    Three to five candidates who genuinely fit the brief, not a wall of CVs for you to filter. If we cannot fill the brief we say so.

  • Try before you commit

    Engage a worker casually first and convert. After 500 hours on your site there is no conversion fee.

  • Verified before they meet you

    Right to work, licences, qualifications and two supervisor references checked before a candidate reaches your shortlist.

Permanent, common questions

  • Do you charge a conversion fee if we hire a labour hire worker permanently?

    Not after 500 hours on your site. Below that a pro-rata conversion fee applies, disclosed in your engagement terms before you book, never discovered afterwards. We would rather you kept a good worker than left them casual to avoid a fee.

  • What is your replacement guarantee on a permanent placement?

    If a permanent placement leaves or is terminated within the guarantee period set out in your terms, we replace them once at no additional fee. The period varies by role seniority and is agreed in writing before we start the search.

  • How long does a permanent search take?

    Site-based roles typically shortlist within five to ten working days, because the candidates often already work for us. Senior staff roles take longer, and we will tell you at the brief if the market for that role in Sydney is thin rather than discover it three weeks in.
