We put Australian employers first

Here’s what our clients have to say

IT Company

“Our recent trip to the UK was a huge success. We were impressed with the quality of the interviews and high number of relevant candidates. A flawless process all round with the added benefit of visa management”

National Engineering Contractor

“We needed skilled fitters urgently and couldn’t find the right people onshore. Working In helped us tap into talent from the Philippines, bringing in qualified tradespeople who were experienced, reliable, and ready to go. They managed the visas and paperwork without hassle or delay. It’s been a seamless experience — and a huge win for our business.”

Government hires - London

“We needed to hire a number of Policy Analysts from overseas to fill shortages across government departments. Working In’s successful organisation of interviews in the UK, helped us not only to attract quality applications but also make successful appointments. All of the detail was taken care of in an expert fashion and we were delighted with the results”

Recruitment Roadshow for Electricians

“Over the last year, we engaged Working In to source electricians and technicians to help to fill some vital shortages. We have made two trips to the UK and South Africa to hire. This was a new approach for us, and we were mindful that it may not solve all of our hiring problems. It turns out though, that we filled all of our roles with great contacts made for future hires”

Industrial Manufacturing Group

Working In managed a recruitment campaign for some large scale projects when we couldn’t find the resource onshore. They sourced tradespeople faster than we expected and we have been very impressed with the quality of the workers so far. Our new guys settled in easily with the help of their team and the communication and whole experience was efficient and professional — they understood the pressures of our industry and kept pace with our deadlines. Big thanks to their team.”
