We have been using the IWF team now for over a year, and the calibre of workers that are presented (both males and females) do a fantastic job. They really put in a great effort, and work as an extension of my own team. The attitudes of the workers is great, even though a lot of them are new to industry and/or youthful, they really want to perform. Positive feedback has been provided, and please continue the great work.

We have been using IWF in Adelaide for 4 months now and they have been absolutely amazing. Even though they are not based in SA - they were quick and proficient at advertising and gathering a pool of candidates ready for us to be able to draw upon as needed. They are always available to discuss and assist us, and really do put in the effort to provide the best candidates possible. We look forward to continuing our work with IWF

We have been using IWF in Melbourne for over a year now. Their staff are generally on time, presentable and do a good job. As importantly, they are able to help in making sure we have the correct documentation to ID all staff under our obligations as a bonded facility. Given those points and their supportive customer service team I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any future potential customer

FAQs About Hiring Labour

These FAQs can help you understand our industry and services better. If your question is not answered here, feel free to contact our team to discuss.

Labour hire is a form of temporary employment where skilled workers from an agency are hired out to a business for a set amount of time.

Throughout the hire period, the skilled worker is required to follow all the directions set out by staff in your business.

However, they remain employed by us; the agency. This means that we are responsible for all their workplace admin – including payroll, compliance checks and training.

Many businesses see this as a win-win situation – they have access to skills on-demand, without the hassle of admin and recruitment.

Labour hire is a common practice in industries with project-based work, such as construction or manufacturing. It can also be used for a wide range of other temporary work requirements; such as seasonal work, overflow management, covering leave and more.

A few key benefits to hiring labour include:

  • Flexibility: Increase productivity and resources when you need to.
  • Cost: Reduce costs compared with the recruitment process for permanent hires.
  • Convenience: Save time by leaving the candidate screening, site inductions and workplace admin to your agency partner.
  • Speed: Get access to the skills you need, fast – whether it’s an urgent short-term project or ongoing support.

We follow detailed pre-approval processes at IWF Staff with every candidate in our database undergoing interviews, reference checks and license verification.

Not only does this ensure the people we recommend have the right skills for the job, it also helps us match our workforce to the culture of your business.

Yes, IWF Staff offer both short- and long-term labour hire. Our length of hire ranges from single-day placements to monthly projects and pathways to a permanent hire.

We understand how important it is to have access to the right people at the right time. Our focus is on providing skilled labourers in days, not weeks.

However, we also aim to find the right fit for your role. We are less interested in rushing the process and more concerned with recommending the best candidate for your needs.

We are also committed to honest communication at every step; which includes updates on our expected timelines for recruitment.
