Recruitment FAQ’s

What unique skills or traits do you look for when recruiting for the hardware sector?

We tailor attraction and screening to your organisation and industry, focusing on practical skills, culture fit, and job‑readiness—then reinforce it through structured onboarding. For hardware and sales roles, we emphasise customer communication, product learning agility, safety awareness, and reliability, validated through targeted assessments and a no‑surprises onboarding process.

What roles fall under building and construction recruitment?

Building and construction hiring spans project delivery, site operations, building services, and compliance-critical roles, including project managers, site managers, supervisors, leading hands, contract administrators, estimators, project engineers, building managers, and trades across carpentry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire, and civil works. We manage the full process, including attraction, screening, onboarding, and compliance (licences, white cards, inductions), so you can fill a single critical role or deliver a full cohort across sites without the admin burden.

What certifications or qualifications are essential in building and construction?

As building and construction recruitment specialists, we look for nationally recognised trade qualifications and licences aligned to the scope of work (electrical licence for electricians, plumbing licence, refrigeration/HVAC tickets, Working at Heights, Confined Spaces, EWP), plus white cards, site inductions, and WHS compliance specific to the project and state regulations.

Do you provide contract, temp‑to‑perm, or permanent staffing solutions in construction?

Yes. We recruit for individual vacancies and program intakes across permanent, contract, labour‑hire, and temp‑to‑perm pathways, scoped during your briefing to suit project timelines and budgets. Whichever engagement model you choose, we manage onboarding, compliance (licences, white cards, inductions), and all the other details needed to ensure a fast, safe site start.

How long does permanent recruitment typically take for hardware roles?

Timelines depend on the brief, the role’s complexity, and market conditions. We set a clear plan at kickoff that involves custom attraction, screening, interviews, and onboarding, so you know each step and milestone. You’ll receive a scoped timeline during your initial briefing.

Do you assist with salary benchmarking and market rate advice in hardware?

Yes. As part of designing your attraction strategy and selection criteria, we can advise on role design, salary bands, and market alignment to help you make competitive offers that support retention. This guidance is integrated into the recruitment plan and can be expanded via consulting if required.

What guarantees or replacement policies do you provide for permanent hires?

We guarantee our placements with a 3-month replacement guarantee. If your new hire doesn't work within the first 3 months, we will find you a replacement at no cost.

How do you screen candidates’ technical competency for hardware industry positions?

We tailor assessments to each role. Screening may include targeted questions, task-based evaluations, verification of tickets/licences, reference checks focused on technical performance, and structured onboarding to ensure candidates are fully prepared to start work. For technician and trade pipelines delivered as programs or cohorts, we also coordinate with RTOs so qualifications and progress are validated end‑to‑end.
