WJ Recruitment

WJ Recruitment is a Brisbane-based recruitment agency specialising in civil and construction roles across Queensland. It recruits on a permanent, temporary, contract and labour hire basis, and says it works across Australia when a role requires it.

The agency says it was built after years of placing civil and construction personnel in Queensland, including concrete batchers, machine operators, quarry and crushing personnel, plant operators and labourers. It places both ticketed tradespeople and general labourers, depending on the role. It says it runs lean and senior, so clients deal with the person doing the work rather than a junior consultant.

For employers, it also manages payroll, work cover, compliance, drug testing, pre-employment medicals and invoicing. It says temporary and labour hire placements can be turned around within 48 hours for most standard roles, and permanent shortlists are typically ready within five to seven business days. Permanent placements are contingency-based with a replacement guarantee, temporary and labour hire work is invoiced on hours worked, and the service is free for job seekers.
