The team at National Workforce has been instrumental in keeping our business moving over the last 18 months. Melissa and Taylor from the white-collar division have successfully found the right candidate every time. The candidates have been such a good fit we have converted everyone we could to full time team members. I simply could not recommend them highly enough!

I would highly recommend their services to any business looking for flexible, dependable labour hire solutions.

Kmart has had the pleasure of working with National Workforce for the past 5 years and we couldn't be more impressed with the level of service they have provided. From the very beginning, the NWF team took the time to understand our unique staffing needs and provided us with highly skilled, reliable workers who fit seamlessly into our operations. The candidates supplied by National Workforce have consistently demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and a strong work ethic - qualities that are also reflected in their internal team, particularly their commitment to client satisfaction. The NWF team is always quick to respond to any requests or concerns, and they are proactive in ensuring that we always have the right people in place. National Workforce consistently delivers top-quality staff who help us meet our goals. They truly go above and beyond, and I would highly recommend their services to any business looking for flexible, dependable labour hire solutions.

National Workforce has been our trusted partner since LF Logistics expanded into the Australian market in August 2020.

National Workforce has been our trusted partner since LF Logistics expanded into the Australian market in August 2020. This relationship has continued through the acquisition of LF Logistics by AP Moller – Maersk. During this time, our contract logistics business has grown significantly in a short period, from a single customer based in NSW to multiple customers in multiple distribution centres across the eastern seaboard of Australia and New Zealand. The relationship with the National Workforce team is more of a partnership rather than a traditional supplier relationship. This partnership has enabled the establishment of open and transparent business relationships, essential for dealing with the challenges associated with contract logistics. Every member of the National Workforce team is a pleasure to work with, and even when faced with some very challenging situations, the required resources are provided to ensure they deliver on our requests.

People Partner – Manager, Maersk Contract Logistics

The staff they have provided are exceptional .

Having National Workforce on board during our busy times at Toll has been a saviour. The staff they have provided are exceptional. The National Workforce team is friendly and knowledgeable, making it easier for all. Thanks, National Workforce!

Steve Rock

WA Inbound Supervisor, Toll Global Express, WA

They continually go over and above to secure the right candidates.

For any employer looking for staff, be it blue-collar or white-collar, skilled or unskilled, you can’t go past the crew at National Workforce. They have been able to source nearly all of my requirements in this labour-strapped market. They continually go over and above to secure the right candidates. They provide continuous feedback on acquisition progress as well as continued follow-up after deployment. Great communication and follow-up at all times. Highly recommended.

Michael Hansford

Plant Manager, Austral Bricks, WA

He knew that the team could provide exceptional service.

Our Head of Logistics had worked closely with National Workforce and formed a great relationship. He knew that the team could provide exceptional service. National Workforce listened, heard, and understood. They also thought ahead about all those unknowns and made it clear that they would build in significant flexibility so that we could adapt as we went along. That was impressive from the outset. As we were working through tight timelines and complex problems, the expert, adaptive, and adaptable nature of National Workforce was readily apparent. From finding us the right people and onboarding them to giving our team access to office space when it was needed, National Workforce helped us anticipate and solve emerging challenges at every step. That was invaluable for Adairs and the success of this project.
