Our people.
A dynamic assembly of ardent professionals, we are deeply committed to transforming the landscape of on-hire service sectors and employment agencies. For too long, a chasm has persisted between state-endorsed employment agency providers and the on-hire services sector. We’re here to close that bridge, employing our distinctive approach, aptly titled “Learn, Grow, Earn”.
Our mission involves more than just employment – it involves transformation. We educate, we cultivate, and we empower. In its essence, this encapsulates the philosophy of our “Learn, Grow, Earn” strategy. Our strength lies in the strategic alliances we’ve built with employers, training institutions, and employment agencies. Our success is powered by a cadre of committed professionals who relentlessly drive this vision forward.
The result? An impressive impact on countless lives. The work we do isn’t just about the job market – it’s about changing life stories, one person at a time. And there’s nothing we take more pride in than that.
We are guided by the conviction that the key to connecting you with the most suitable talents, lies in our ability to know you inside out, to the point where we feel like a natural extension of your own team. This deep-rooted understanding enables us to forge a collaborative partnership, characterized by mutual support and progress. At the heart of Tailored Workforce’s approach is a sound comprehension of our client’s, values and goals.

Prior to the conception of Tailored Workforce, we did a deep dive into the Labor market and revealed dissatisfaction with existing service providers and recruitment firms. The following three critical issues emerged:
With a mission to overhaul these shortcomings, Tailored Workforce embarked on an ambitious journey, assembling a team of industry-specific account managers and support staff. We instituted cutting-edge scheduling and technology-based solutions, enabling us to reach optimum standards for Labor provisioning and reliability within the on-hire services sector.
First, the overall industry was quite embryonic and had yet to embrace a comprehensive approach to service delivery. It appeared that the standard modus operandi for on-hire services and recruitment companies was to simply provide manpower without much thought given to customized service. This was particularly evident among larger entities, with their reliance on high turnover rates to meet their business targets, while their proficiency in implementing effective scheduling and placement strategies was inadequate.
Secondly, it became clear that the consultants and account managers backing these recruitment firms were falling short when it came to delivering tailored solutions or grasping customer needs, especially within the logistics industry. These companies were also challenged by a high employee turnover rate, which created significant disruptions in client account management.
Lastly, we noticed a recurring grievance from clients who felt that managing on-hire services companies required a more demanding administrative effort than directly sourcing Labor.
We have since then, expanded into Aged Care and Medical Recruitment, maximizing our 25 years of experience, post-COVID-19, the Medical Industry and Aged Care have been affected, by staff shortages, at a rate that is unprecedented, affecting our most vulnerable, our elderly demographic.
Our strength is in our people, the heart of our business is providing a bespoke human interactive experience without comprising on the latest technology.
By choosing Tailored Workforce, we work around the clock to provide you with the right people who are caring and compassionate, and who seek to make a difference in people’s lives, we understand our client’s needs and we create a plan and strategy based on getting to know our clients on a macro and micro level.

Corporate Social Responsibility is a term that is referred to frequently but rarely acted upon. The pandemic and the post-pandemic world have exposed an even wider gap between socially conscious companies and those that prioritize survival above all else.
At Tailored Workforce, we don’t just talk about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) – we live and breathe it, embedding it in every facet of our operations. We see ourselves as much more than a business; we are a community builder, dedicated to cultivating an environment that promotes inclusivity and supports everyone within the employment supply chain.
We leverage our robust relationships with employment agencies and our extensive network of employers to ensure that everyone has a fair shot at employment, irrespective of their social circumstances. At Tailored Workforce, we believe in opportunities for all, and we are dedicated to making this vision a reality.
Simply put, our aim is to weave Corporate Social Responsibility into every employment opportunity we create, nurturing meaningful and long-lasting connections between our clients and candidates that transcend the typical business transaction. We’re not just making placements; we’re building bridges that lead to lasting professional partnerships.
Our Managing Director, “Success in our business is not merely based on the bottom line. It involves a holistic approach, at its heart, the notion of equal employment opportunities for an egalitarian society.”
We believe it’s especially important at a time when companies must be more flexible in the way they approach their own corporate social obligations.
Our strength as one of the pre-eminent recruitment companies in Australia is determined by the quality of our staff. By joining Tailored Workforce, you become a full and effective member of an outstanding team.
