What Techforce Personnel does

Techforce Personnel is an Australian recruitment and workforce management company founded in 2007, headquartered in Perth, Western Australia. The company provides labour hire, temporary and permanent recruitment, outsourced payrolling, project delivery partnerships, and international skilled migration services across nine primary verticals: mining and resources, shutdowns and maintenance, civil and construction, facilities management, healthcare, professional and technical, oil and gas, defence, and international recruitment. It operates a cloud-based recruitment platform backed by a national database of 450,000+ candidate profiles, with five physical offices across Perth, Adelaide, Darwin, Brisbane, and Newcastle, and international sourcing operations in New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

The company serves enterprise clients including tier-1 mining contractors, construction businesses, healthcare facilities, defence industry employers, and facilities management operators, with go-to-market executed primarily through dedicated account managers and direct enterprise field sales. Pricing is quote-based; labour hire and temporary placements are billed on hourly mark-ups over base wages (observed listings range from approximately $40–$135 per hour), permanent placements are fee-based with a replacement guarantee, and outsourced payroll services are billed monthly by headcount. Job listings indicate active hiring across metro and FIFO roles, with 24/7 account management support and 12+ week workforce forecasting for project planning.

Techforce is a subsidiary of PeopleIN, Australia's largest ASX-listed talent solutions conglomerate, providing financial backing and shared infrastructure across the group's 22 offices. The company is privately held under the legal entity Techforce Personnel Pty Limited, incorporated in Western Australia, with over 200 skilled workers migrated to Australia annually and approximately 1,500 workers on hire and payrolled weekly through its operations.
