construction recruitment
Permanent placements for roles you don’t want to fill twice.
Some roles need to outlast the project
When hire isn't the right tool
Casual and temp labour solves for a program that changes week to week. It’s the wrong tool for a role you need in the business for years, not weeks — a site manager, an estimator, a permanent trade on the books.
Construction recruitment fills that gap. We source and screen candidates against the role and the site, the same way we vet every casual placement, but for people who’ll be on your payroll, not ours.

The same standard, a longer view
How we screen a permanent candidate
We check tickets, certifications and work history before anyone reaches an interview with you. For site and trade roles, that includes confirming they’ve actually done the work, not just held the title.
You get candidates who are qualified for the role and a realistic fit for the site, not a stack of resumes to filter yourself.

One relationship for hire and recruitment
Why clients use Elite for permanent roles too
Builders who already use Elite for casual and trade hire often ask us to run their permanent searches too, because we already know their sites, their standards and what a good fit looks like for them.
That relationship means less time explaining the role from scratch and a shorter path to someone who’s actually right for it.

What's the difference between labour hire and construction recruitment?
Labour hire places workers on Elite’s payroll for the length of a shift, week or project. Recruitment places a candidate directly onto your payroll for a permanent or long-term role.
Does Elite recruit for engineering roles as well as trades?
Yes. Recruitment covers roles from engineers and site managers down to skilled trades and labourers.
How long does a permanent placement typically take?
[needs verification — confirm typical placement timeframe with Elite before publishing] It depends on the role and how specific the requirements are — call and we’ll give you a realistic timeframe for your role.
