Labour Hire RecruitmentThe right people for the job
We recruit people for production line duties, product packing and machinery work, with role suitability checked against your site brief.
Production hands support routine line tasks where clear instructions, attendance and familiarity with the working environment matter.
Packers prepare and pack products to the site's instructions, including its handling and presentation requirements.
Machine operators work with production equipment where the employer's required experience and operating procedures must be confirmed before placement.
Production support duties may include moving between assigned line tasks, subject to the worker's experience and the site's instructions.
Share your role, location and shift requirements.

Practical workforce support
A packing line needs enough people in the right positions when a shift begins. An unfilled station can place extra pressure on the rest of the team. We take the duties, shift pattern and required experience into account when reviewing your staffing request.
We check candidates against the role and confirm relevant experience, work rights and availability. Your site's induction and PPE requirements form part of the placement brief. Our consultants coordinate onboarding and stay in contact after the worker starts.
From brief to first shift
Our recruitment process starts with the actual production tasks and continues through screening, onboarding and follow-up.
Tell us the work area, tasks, required experience, shift hours, site conditions and planned start date.
We search our candidate network and review work rights, relevant experience, availability and any role-specific requirements before placement.
We arrange onboarding details, confirm the necessary briefing and remain available to discuss how the placement is working.
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.
