Client: Leading Fire Protection Contractors — Ongoing — dedicated desk
Australia's fire protection industry faces a chronic talent shortage. Specialised roles — Fire Alarm Technicians, Service Engineers, Account Managers, and compliance specialists — require niche qualifications and experience that very few candidates possess. Multiple clients including several leading fire protection contractors across Sydney and Melbourne were all struggling to fill critical positions through generalist recruitment agencies who didn't understand the technical requirements of the fire protection sector.
HBG established a dedicated Fire Protection recruitment desk, building deep industry knowledge of the qualifications, licensing requirements, and career pathways unique to fire protection. By attending industry events, developing relationships with fire protection professionals, and creating a specialist candidate database, HBG became the go-to recruiter for the sector. Each placement was supported by thorough technical screening — verifying FPAS accreditation, relevant AS standards knowledge, and hands-on experience with fire detection, suppression, and passive fire systems.
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.
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.
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.
