Calima Workforce Solutions Pty Ltd

Calima Workforce Solutions Pty Ltd is a community-powered recruitment agency operating across Australia, New Zealand and Latin America since 2017. The company operates three connected business divisions on a single community network: labour hire for immediate crew deployment, permanent recruitment for engineering and IT professionals, and a global Latin American talent network. Founded by Oskar Morad, Calima distinguishes itself through hands-on service, aiming to respond to staffing requests within two business hours and delivering crews on-site by the morning briefing where lead time allows. The agency is labour-hire licensed in Victoria, Queensland and South Australia, with full compliance management including public liability, workers' compensation cover, right-to-work verification and award-compliant payroll.

Calima specialises across multiple sectors including warehouse and distribution, container unloading, mining and resources, construction and infrastructure, industrial manufacturing, major events and stadiums, traffic management, and general labour and brand activations. In permanent recruitment, the company focuses on engineering recruitment and IT recruitment, with additional expertise in environmental and sustainability placements. The agency's Latin American network provides access to international talent for both ANZ companies seeking workers from the region and LATAM-based professionals seeking placement in Australia and New Zealand.

Operating from six cities across Australia and New Zealand, Calima serves Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Auckland. The company's competitive advantage lies in its embedded community approach rather than traditional job boards, enabling rapid shift fills through genuine relationships and trust within the Latin American community. Clients choose Calima for zero-fee permanent conversions when casual workers transition to permanent roles, direct access to decision-makers without phone menus, and transparent, reliable service backed by compliance and accountability. The agency was recognised as a finalist in both the 2025 ALABC Business Awards and the 2025 City of Knox Business Awards.
