Real Results from Real Projects

The Challenge

A major demolition contractor had their regular labour hire provider fail to deliver workers three times in a row on a critical asbestos removal project. With strict regulatory deadlines and the site at risk of shutting down, they needed a reliable partner immediately.

Our Solution

HBG mobilised 3 fully licensed Class A asbestos removal workers within 1 hour of the initial call. All workers held current medical clearances, face-fit certificates, and lead blood test results. We provided ongoing crew rotations for the remainder of the project.

Results

• ✓Workers on-site within 60 minutes of first contact
• ✓Zero safety incidents across the entire project
• ✓Client retained as ongoing partner — now in year 4
• ✓Expanded to 15+ regular workers across 3 Sydney sites

The Challenge

A Tier 1 contractor securing a major road infrastructure project needed to rapidly scale from 5 to 55 workers within 2 weeks. They required traffic controllers, civil labourers, plant operators, and leading hands — all with current tickets and site-specific inductions.

Our Solution

HBG activated our deep candidate database of 128,000+ pre-screened workers. Our compliance team ensured every worker had verified white cards, traffic control tickets, and relevant VOCs. We handled all inductions, PPE, and payroll processing through our managed payroll service.

Results

• ✓55 workers fully inducted and on-site within 10 business days
• ✓All workers ticket-verified before deployment
• ✓Managed payroll processing for the entire workforce
• ✓98% worker retention rate across the 8-month project

The Challenge

A top-20 national builder had been searching for 4 months for a Senior Site Manager to lead a $120M mixed-use development. Previous recruitment agencies had sent unqualified candidates, wasting the client's time.

Our formatted CV presentations gave the client a clear view of each candidate's project history and qualifications.

Results

• ✓Successful placement within 3 weeks (vs 4 months prior)
• ✓Candidate started within 2 weeks of offer acceptance
• ✓Placement still in role 18 months later

The Challenge

A major utilities provider running simultaneous maintenance projects across 8 Sydney locations needed reliable traffic controllers with short-notice availability. Their previous provider had a 30% no-show rate, causing project delays and TfNSW compliance issues.

Our Solution

HBG implemented a dedicated traffic control crew with GPS check-in tracking via our Command Map. Our morning check-in system confirmed worker attendance by 5:30am daily. Backup controllers were on standby for any last-minute changes.

Results

• ✓No-show rate reduced from 30% to under 2%
• ✓Real-time GPS tracking of all traffic controllers
• ✓Zero TfNSW compliance violations
• ✓Expanded from 8 to 14 concurrent sites

The Challenge

A rapidly growing e-commerce fulfilment company opening a new 15,000sqm warehouse in Brisbane needed to hire, induct, and deploy a full team of 35 warehouse workers within 3 weeks — including forklift operators, pick-packers, and a shift supervisor.

HBG sourced candidates from our Brisbane database, conducted group inductions, and verified all forklift licences. We structured the team across two shifts and placed an experienced shift supervisor to lead the operation. Our digital induction platform streamlined onboarding.

Results

• ✓Full 35-person team operational in 18 days
• ✓All forklift operators licence-verified
• ✓Digital inductions completed before day 1
• ✓Client scaled to 60 workers within 3 months
