Hiring advisory

Market intel

Sometimes the search is not the problem. We sharpen the position brief, remuneration offer and roster so a good mechanic sees an opportunity worth moving for.

Best for: For a role that attracts applications but not the right tradepeople, or a workshop losing good people to a clearer offer elsewhere.

03The search method · trade-literate headhunting

From workshop brief to qualified shortlist.

A rigorous process for finding the mechanics who are not looking at generic job ads.

Map the real brief

We start with the work, not the job-board title: equipment makes, diagnostic systems, tooling, shift pattern, site conditions, licence requirements and the pressure the new hire needs to remove.

Search with intent

Nathan speaks directly with capable, employed tradespeople who may not be browsing adverts. The first conversation is about the actual opportunity, kept confidential and grounded in the work.

Present the verified fit

You receive a shortlist with the trade story, equipment exposure, availability, motivation and salary context clear enough to make a quick, confident decision.
