About Us

Our Melbourne-based boutique company assists companies nationally in their recruitment activities.

Our staff has more than a combined 20 years in the areas of manpower development and deployment here and overseas. The team has strengths in customer service, business research and business development.

We started this company because the proponents we spoke to in the different sectors of industry (mining, oil and gas, power, manufacturing, education and health), repeated one question – “do you know where I can get workers?”

For over a decade, we provided project information and again the proponents of industry ended up hiring us to do business development or marketing for them. We provided information but they were short staffed to chase business opportunities. We became a stop gap solution for many.

We have networked and formed partnerships with reputable and licensed companies to provide manpower to other countries.

The Philippines is a reliable source of manpower for many companies. Workers are not only fluent in English but they have great work ethics and top notch skills. And to make hiring easier, the Australian government has test centres in the Philippines so that workers are tested and certified to Australian industry standards.

We have also partnered with migration agencies in Australia and the Philippines. The tedious process of following up visa requirements will be done for you! We will provide you with regular updates on the progress of your applications.
