In Newcastle
Hiring for trades, technical and professional roles
Newcastle employers compete for engineers, tradespeople, health workers and graduates from the University of Newcastle, and many roles involve shift work or site tickets. A recruitment agency in Newcastle checks licences and competencies, explains rosters honestly and respects confidentiality.
From our Perth base we support Newcastle clients through video, messages and shared files. The time difference is small, so most questions get an answer the same day, and meeting in person is always an option.
- Tickets verified
- Project pools built
- Honest information for candidates
Common situations
What Newcastle clients usually ask us to solve
Trades, technical and industrial roles
Trades, technical and industrial roles depend on tickets, licences and site experience. We check them early and explain site conditions honestly, so candidates and employers meet well matched.
Health, education and professional roles
Health, education and professional roles need registrations and qualifications verified. We screen carefully and keep candidates informed through each step.
Graduate and early-career
Early-career hires from the University of Newcastle and local colleges bring energy and potential. We help you present the role and the path to progress clearly.
