Labour Hire RecruitmentThe right people for the job
Spotter assignments differ by plant, work area and movement risks, so describe the task before requesting workers.
Confirm which moving plant needs observation and how the spotter will communicate with its operator.
Identify reversing routes, pedestrian interfaces and the site's agreed exclusion arrangements before the shift.
Explain excavation boundaries, nearby services and the tasks requiring a dedicated observer.
Describe blind spots, narrow access points and the conditions that could affect safe plant movement.
Share your role, location and shift requirements.

Practical workforce support
A spotter's work depends on what the operator cannot safely see. Poorly defined movement routes or communication methods can leave gaps in the brief. We ask about the plant, activity and site controls before looking for suitable candidates.
Our recruitment process includes reviewing relevant experience, required credentials and right-to-work status. We coordinate induction information and confirm PPE needs for the assignment. We also maintain contact after placement if site requirements change.
From brief to first shift
Our documented recruitment process moves from needs analysis through screening and onboarding to ongoing support.
Tell us the plant type, spotting duties, required tickets, communication arrangements, site conditions and planned start date.
We search our network and check relevant experience, right-to-work status and role-specific credentials before presenting a suitable match.
We coordinate start details and site briefings, then remain available to discuss placement issues after work begins.
Accuracy note: These three H3s summarise Labour Hire Recruitment's documented five-stage process; do not imply its formal process has only three stages. The five stages are needs analysis, talent search, pre-screening and testing, placement and onboarding, and ongoing support.

Share the site address, workforce numbers and expected plant movements. List mandatory tickets, induction steps and any site communication rules. Our team will review the brief and discuss the next practical step without promising availability.
