At Work & Training, we connect Tasmanian businesses with skilled, reliable people—fast. From short-term placements to permanent hires, we tailor solutions to your workload, budget, and culture so you can keep operations moving without compromise.
With offices in Hobart, Launceston, and Devonport, and deep local industry knowledge, we’re the partner you can count on for responsive support and consistently high-quality placements.
Short-Term Placements
When demand spikes or projects scale up, our short-term placements deliver ready-to-work talent—without the admin burden.
- Flexible coverage: day-to-day gaps, seasonal peaks, project resourcing, parental leave, and backfill
- Pre-screened candidates: skills-checked and safety-aware, with the right attitude to hit the ground running
- Rapid onboarding: streamlined compliance and paperwork handled for speed and accuracy
- Cost control: pay only for the hours you need, with transparent rates and no surprises
Permanent Recruitment
Build a stronger, more committed workforce with candidates who are technically capable and a great fit for your culture.
- Targeted sourcing: active search plus talent from our training, apprenticeships, and partner programs
- Structured selection: role scoping, advertising, screening, to panel interviews and reference checks
- Skills validation: qualifications verified; practical assessments available where relevant
- Retention focus: onboarding support and check-ins to help new hires settle and succeed
