Forgepoint Recruitment

Forgepoint Recruitment is a Sydney-based trades and industrial labour hire agency founded by Director Kevin Mankin, who brings over 13 years of specialised experience in the sector. The company provides labour hire and permanent placements for trades and industrial businesses across Greater Sydney and NSW, with a core philosophy of placing workers properly rather than pursuing volume-driven recruitment. Every client receives a dedicated point of contact who understands their site and standards, whilst every candidate receives honest conversation before placement, backed by independent payroll, insurance and compliance verification.

Forgepoint specialises in recruiting for manufacturing, engineering, defence, construction, infrastructure and civil sectors. The company places candidates across roles including CNC machine operators, welders, boilermakers, mechanical fitters, maintenance fitters, electricians, forklift operators, production line operators, and general labourers. All candidates are pre-screened and ticket-checked before placement, ensuring employers receive workers who meet their specific requirements and compliance standards.

The agency operates across Greater Sydney and NSW, serving employers who need both immediate labour hire solutions and long-term permanent placements. Clients choose Forgepoint because of its accountability model, where one recruiter manages each relationship from initial brief through to final placement, combined with verified compliance and insurance backing. The company's approach is reflected in its 4.98-star rating across 44 verified SEEK reviews, with clients consistently noting that placements remain stable well beyond probation periods.
