Skills-vetted candidates for critical WA roles — FIFO & Perth Metro

Hire for proven capability — not just what’s on paper.

We screen, skills-vet and present candidates with practical evidence of what they can do — so you can see capability before you commit to an appointment.

The problem we solve

A resume can’t show you who can do the job.

Labour costs keep rising, yet most hiring decisions still rest on resumes, tickets and a conversation. When practical capability doesn’t match what’s on paper, you pay for it on site.

Our model is built to give you more meaningful evidence — before you commit.

Rework

Jobs done twice because the first attempt wasn’t to standard.

Lost productivity

Crews slowed down by someone still finding their feet.

Supervision burden

Leading hands pulled off their own work to watch over a new start.

Safety concerns

Gaps in practical knowledge become risk on a live site.

Repeat recruitment

Another fee, another search, another cycle of onboarding.

Our approach

Prove capability before placement.

What makes us different

We don’t just send resumes. We send evidence.

Every shortlisted candidate goes through an independent, practical vetting process with an industry-aligned assessor — and you get the results in writing and on video.

4-hour practical assessment

Conducted by an industry-aligned assessor against the tasks your role actually demands.

Hands-on tasks + knowledge Q&A

Candidates demonstrate the work, then answer questions that test their foundational knowledge.

Scorecard & written report

Results captured in a structured assessor scorecard and a clear candidate report.

Skills gaps documented

Any gaps are identified in the report, with a recommended remediation pathway where required.

Short video evidence

Watch the candidate perform selected key tasks — not just read about them.

Complete documentation

Qualifications and candidate particulars supplied to you before final progression.
