Why Bayswater Businesses Choose SMS Personnel
The Bayswater and Bayswater North industrial precinct is one of eastern Melbourne’s largest employment zones — spanning over 735 hectares across the Knox and Maroondah municipalities, with more than 1,800 businesses and approximately 35,500 jobs. Combined with the manufacturing and commercial precincts in Kilsyth, Croydon and Ringwood, this corridor represents one of the highest concentrations of industrial activity outside Melbourne’s western and southeastern hubs.
Our Dandenong South office connects directly to this precinct via Eastlink, giving us the response speed that CBD-based agencies can’t match for the outer east. We’ve placed workers in factories, warehouses, and on construction sites across this corridor for more than 20 years. When a production shift needs filling at short notice or a warehouse in Kilsyth needs forklift operators for a seasonal push, we draw from a local candidate pool that already knows the area.
Response time comes from being close by, not just being licensed to operate here.

At ARB 4X4 most of their permanent personal have come from SMS personnel. I have always been happy to recommend SMS personnel to other companies and Managers I meet with, such as the Operations Manager at Jardan Furniture.”
“My journey started with SMS personnel in December 2013. When I was looking for full time work I sent my resume in, than got the phone call for an interview. I landed a great opportunity for a foreman roll with Jardan Furniture. I have had the pleasure of an on going relationship with SMS personnel with there recommendation of many employees through labouring and skilled workers. Definitely recommend SMS personnel for those looking for work and businesses requiring staff.”
“I have been dealing with Faye and her team for a few years now and have always found them to be responsive, rather than reactive, to my business needs and its requirements.
