Recruitment That Understands Your Industry
We understand the difference between a placement and a good hire.
SMS Personnel recruits across eight core industries — from manufacturing and civil construction through to transport and logistics, hospitality, IT, and executive management. Our recruitment consultants have hands-on industry backgrounds before they moved into staffing, which means they understand shift patterns, compliance requirements, and what “job-ready” actually looks like on your specific floor or site.
That industry depth is why 80% of our casual workers are hired permanently by clients. When your warehouse needs a licensed forklift operator who can start at 5am in Dandenong South, or your production line needs three machine operators for a seasonal run in Campbellfield, we’re not starting from scratch. We’re drawing from a pre-screened candidate pool built over 20 years of specialist labour hire and permanent recruitment across Melbourne’s southeast.
