Recruit for the Machine, Not Just the Job Title
Two food factories can use the same job title for very different equipment. A worker familiar with one process may need training before using another. We start with your machine duties and experience requirements rather than relying on a title alone.
Our team checks relevant experience, right-to-work status and availability. We also clarify induction, PPE and site-specific requirements before the assignment starts. After onboarding, we remain in contact to address placement questions.
From brief to first shift
From Equipment Brief to Operator Placement
We use your operating requirements to guide candidate search, screening, onboarding and follow-up.
- 01
Define the Equipment and Operating Conditions
Tell us the machine type, duties, required skills, site conditions, shift hours and intended start date.
- 02
Check Experience Against the Actual Task
We search for suitable candidates and review work history, work rights and relevant operating experience against your brief.
- 03
Coordinate the Start and Stay in Contact
We arrange placement and onboarding details, confirm the site briefing requirements and follow up after commencement.
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.

Machine Operator Coverage for Changing Production Runs
Equipment staffing can change as production schedules and product runs change. We support employers with shift-based, short-term, seasonal and ongoing labour requirements. Each request is assessed against the duties and duration of the assignment.
Provide the equipment description, staffing numbers, site location and roster. Include mandatory experience, any site authorisations and the planned start date. We can then review suitable candidates and discuss the next placement steps.
