Our Process — Six Steps.
From your first call to workers on site — here's exactly how Trade Assist works. No surprises, no runaround.
We get to know your business before we place anyone.
The first conversation isn't about filling a role — it's about understanding your operation. What the site is like. What the team dynamic is. What good looks like for you. The more we know, the better the match. That's why our consultants visit sites, meet teams, and ask the questions most agencies skip.

Step 1 — Get to Know You
We visit your site, meet the team, understand the role, the schedule and the H&S environment. A 30-minute conversation that saves hours of back-and-forth later.
Frequently asked questions.
How quickly can you have workers on site? 
For most standard roles, 24 to 48 hours from your brief. Specialist roles or larger teams may need 48 to 72 hours. We'll be upfront about realistic timeframes.
Do you charge for the initial consultation?
No — the needs analysis and site visit is free. No fees until workers are placed.
What if the placement doesn't work out?
Call your account manager immediately. We'll resolve it fast. Permanent placements include a 90-day replacement guarantee.
Can I use Trade Assist for permanent recruitment as well as temp?
Yes — we offer flexible temp, contract, managed resourcing, and permanent recruitment. The same rigorous process applies across all of them.
