About talent best solutions
Owner-operated. Industry-specialist. Built on 24 YEARS of actually doing the work.
Why I Started Talent Best Solutions
I started Talent Best Solutions because I kept seeing the same thing play out. Agencies focused on filling roles fast, collecting the fee, and moving on. Clients left with candidates who weren't right. Candidates sent off to jobs nobody had explained properly. It wasn't a one-off. It was the standard way of operating, and I didn't want to be part of it.TBS exists because there's a better way to do this. It starts with taking the time to understand what a client actually needs before approaching a single candidate. It means being honest with both sides, even when that's not the easiest conversation.
Why Partner With Talent Best Solutions
Responsive and flexible workforce solutions
When a project moves fast or requirements change, you need a recruiter who can keep up. We adapt quickly so your workforce does too.
Industry-Focused Recruitment Expertise
We recruit specifically within trades, civil construction, manufacturing, and logistics. That focus means we understand the roles, the environments, and what genuinely good candidates look like in each of them.
Reliable Personnel Aligned to Project Requirements
Every person we place is assessed against the specific demands of your project — not just matched on paper. You get someone who can actually do the job from day one.
Commitment to Safety, Compliance, and Operational Efficiency
The industries we recruit for run on tight margins and real consequences. We factor safety awareness and compliance into how we assess every candidate, not as an afterthought.
Fast and Efficient Recruitment Processes
We move quickly without cutting corners. A clear process from brief to placement means less back and forth and fewer delays getting the right person on site.
Queensland-Based Support With Personalised Service

Robert Neal
Dave recommended myself for future employment, at the time I was retired and bored. Not being able to find the right employer at the time Dave came to my rescue albeit only temporary. He conducted himself in a very professional and friendly manner which I appreciated....all the best for the future Dave.
What 24 Years Actually Means
Twenty-four years in blue collar and trades recruitment isn't just a number on a website. It means I've recruited across most of the sectors I now specialise in. I know what makes a good electrician, a solid site supervisor, or a project manager who can hold a team together under pressure. I ask the right questions because I've learned what matters.
I hold an HR Diploma and am a professional member of the Australian HR Institute. I'm also trained in behavioural interviewing — a structured, evidence-based method that looks at how candidates have actually performed in past roles rather than how well they present on the day.
24 Years in Blue Collar and Trades Recruitment
10 Years Specialising in Permanent Placements

Professional Member — AHRI (Australian Human Resources Institute)
Behavioural Interview Trained
TBS is not the right agency for everyone. If you need a recruiter who'll send five resumes by end of day regardless of fit, there are plenty who'll do that. If you want someone who'll invest the time, be straight with you, and stand behind the people they place — that's what we're here for.
Let's have a conversation.
