We are focused on finding the right candidate that suits your business needs and goals.

Skillset can help you source the best labour hire candidate for your business. Clients who experience seasonal demand for products and services or who experience temporary gaps in their workforce capability will benefit from a temporary workforce that can be available at short notice and scaled up or down to meet requirements. The process is made simple for your business and our services include Payroll Tax, Workers Insurances and Superannuation.

“I don’t have an administrative support, so Skillset’s model fits perfect with my business and makes the whole process of hiring and managing apprentices simple.”

-Brett Moore, B. Moore Constructions

“I am grateful for Skillset and how easy the process is to host an apprentice. I’m not an accountant so to have the team take care of payroll, insurance and formal training requirements means I am able to focus on my business and what we do best.”
