Ready to move out of blue-collar labour hire and into a quality permanent trades desk — with clients and jobs brought to you?

Pace Appointments QLD offers the best of both worlds — the track record and market standing of a well-established agency, delivered with the agility and personal touch of a close-knit boutique team. We take the time to understand our clients and candidates, forming long-term partnerships that make a real difference.

About the Chance

If you've been sourcing trades and blue-collar workers at volume in labour hire and you're ready to take that trades knowledge into permanent recruitment, this is your move. Due to continued growth, we're seeking an experienced Recruitment Consultant to take on our thriving trades desk.

You already know the trades market, where the candidates are and how to move quickly, now put that to work on permanent roles with better margins and deeper client relationships. This is not a cold desk, and you won't be building it alone. You'll inherit a high-performing portfolio backed by strong existing client relationships, active roles, a quality candidate database and a respected brand in the market. Just as importantly, you'll have dedicated BDMs working alongside you, opening new clients and bringing in fresh jobs, so your energy goes into placing candidates and growing your billings, not chasing every lead yourself.

The pace, resilience and candidate networks you've built in labour hire will serve you well here; the difference is a stronger desk, better support and the scope to grow. For the right person there's also a clear pathway beyond pure billing to contribute to strategy and help shape the next phase of growth. Clear succession planning is in place for those ready to elevate their career.

What's On Offer





- Competitive salary + high-earning commission structure
- Hybrid working model to support work-life balance

- Experience sourcing trades or blue-collar candidates at volume, ideally in labour hire, with a strong track record of delivery
- Keen to step into permanent trades recruitment and build deeper client relationships
- Results-driven, self-motivated and commercially astute
- Solid knowledge of the trades market and where to find quality candidates
- Excellent communication skills and relationship-building ability
