Foundation Recruitment Established in 2007 Foundation Recruitment and Contracting is Australia’s foremost professional, dynamic, & exciting recruitment firm.

“We are successful at what we do and are proud to be leaders in our field”

Established in 2007, Foundation Recruitment is one of Australia’s foremost professional, dynamic, and exciting recruitment companies. With offices based in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Darwin, we provide our recruitment services nationally. Lead by Founder and Director, Paul Gay and with over 40 years combined recruitment experience, our team at Foundation Recruitment are “industry specialist” consultants who provide expert advice to both candidates and clients. As we work in partnership with our clients, we are experts at recognising their needs and requirements and understanding the challenges facing companies within our industry sectors. With an extensive industry network and strong relationships built and maintained over decades, we have an extensive range of contacts which is fundamental to our success. We are specialists in sourcing exceptional people for organisations and experts in finding the right career options for candidates. We find the best people, work hard to achieve the best result and give you a commitment to achieve the best outcome. Unlike many, we don’t rely on “job board advertising” to secure candidates for our clients, as many can do this themselves; instead we utilise our extensive database and contact network to ‘flush out” passive job seekers and present our client's opportunities to them!

“We don’t muck around….”

The market is moving quickly and it is important to move fast and deliver results in a timely manner. Our sense of urgency and determination to ensure that we address and solve the recruitment needs for both our candidates and clients alike is the pivotal to our success. When dealing with people, no process is flawless - sometimes through no-ones fault and outside any level of control, some placements just don’t work! We identify this and boast quite proudly that some of our strongest client relationships have been developed by delivering our highly valued “replacement guarantee” services as a priority! We pride ourselves on this and believe our clients come back to us time and time again as a result of their confidence in us to uphold this guarantee process. Our experienced Recruitment Consultants have years of specialist industry experience recruiting both nationally and internationally. We are recruitment leaders in the construction, development, building, project management, energy resource sector as well as the public practice accounting sector. We also work across a broad range of other industries, working with some of the country’s top companies both large and small providing the full spectrum of recruitment services for all of our clients. We recruit for temporary, contract, permanent and high volume placements.

In the Territory, word gets around.

Kerry from Black Cat Civil found Foundation by asking around. It’s how most of our NT work starts.
Paul and the team know Darwin’s market, and who’s available when you need people.

Quality people. The right skills. The right attitude. 🤝

That’s what Kerry from Black Cat Civil values in labour hire, along with people who understand where they’re working.

At Foundation, that’s the standard we work to.

The right people. The right skills. The right fit.

Civil projects rely on more than experience alone. They need people with the right attitude, the skills to get the job done and an understanding of the environment they’re working in.

At Foundation, we take the time to understand what our clients need so we can connect them with people who are ready to deliver on site.

Need the right people for your next project? Get in touch with Foundation and let’s build your team.

Ready to apply? Have these four things sorted.

Current tickets. Valid licences. An up-to-date résumé ready to send. And your phone on, so we can reach you.

A little preparation helps us get you working sooner.

Supporting Black Cat Civil with the people they need on site.

Alfie sat down with Kerry to hear how Foundation’s labour hire has supported their operations in the Territory.

Hear what it’s like to work with us.

Good leaders know their people.

Alfie’s takeaway from watching Wayne Bennett? Know when to push and when to give someone space.

It matters just as much on site as it does on the field. Take the time to understand your crew, and give them a reason to stay.
