Get off the tools.
Stay on the business.
A dedicated construction professional — estimator, contract administrator, bookkeeper or draftsperson — working your hours, on your jobs. Claims out on time, variations invoiced, cash flow back where it belongs. You choose the person; we carry the employment, the compliance and the risk.

How it works
- We scope the seat to where your hours are actually going
- Not the nearest thing on a list — the gap you actually have
- Same screening, same guarantee, same notice terms
- If a seat isn’t the answer, we’ll tell you on the call
Photography is illustrative of the roles we place, not of a specific person on your account. You meet and choose your own shortlist.
Why builders start here
Claims out on time.
Variations actually invoiced.
Retentions nobody forgot.
The seat pays for itself in cash flow long before it pays for itself in hours. Ninety-two per cent of this industry is carrying overdue invoices — not because the work wasn't done, but because nobody had time to bill it properly.
The problem
You built a business.
Now it's running you.
Builders doing $1M–$10M sit in the worst spot in the industry: too big to run off a phone and a ute, too small to justify a $130,000 estimator and a $90,000 contracts administrator. So the owner does both — at night, badly, and last.
Cash flow
Progress claims go out late. Variations get built and never invoiced. Retentions sit unclaimed. The work is profitable on paper and invisible in the bank account.
92% of the sector carries overdue invoices.Estimating & quoting
Quote slow and you lose the job. Quote fast and wrong and you win the job and lose the margin. Either way you find out months later, when it's already built.
69% of projects run over budget on ~5% margins.The admin drag
Subbie insurances, SWMS, purchase orders, invoice coding, chasing certificates. None of it wins work. All of it stops the job if it isn't done.
8–12 hours a week, every week.How we screen
Fifty to seventy in.
Three come out.
Seven tracked stages and three hard pass/fail gates. A candidate who fails a gate does not proceed, however good the résumé looked — so by the time you are on a call, the work of saying no is already done.
Bar width shows the shape of the filter, not a published pass rate.
Why Source Talent
Not a marketplace. Not a call centre.
There are cheaper ways to hire offshore and we won't pretend otherwise. Here is what you get for choosing the one built properly.
One person, only your jobs
A dedicated seat, full-time, in your systems — not a freelancer split across five clients and not a ticket queue. They work for you and report to you.
We carry the risk
The seat is legally our employee, not yours. No payroll tax, no workers' comp exposure, no foreign law to navigate. One AUD invoice a month, and the liability sits with us.
You choose the person
We do the sourcing and the vetting; you interview the final shortlist and pick. We don't assign you someone. And you pay nothing until you have.
One flat monthly seat
One flat monthly seat, quoted in two questions before you ever speak to us. No per-hour surprises on the invoice and no discovery-call runaround to find out what it costs.
Built only for construction
Every seat is scoped against a real Australian construction role — the software, the standards, the deliverables — not a general assistant with a hard hat drawn on.
Backed by a guarantee
Ninety days to win your money back, plus a six-month rematch guarantee. If it doesn't work, that's our problem to fix — in writing, before you sign.
How it works
Two weeks.
You pick the person.
Two weeks from the first call to a seat working in your systems — and you are never committed until you have met them.
We scope the seat
One call, then a written brief: your jobs, your software, your hours and your deal-breakers.
We source & screen
Fifty to seventy candidates found and vetted down. You never see the ones who didn't pass.
You interview three
Fifteen to twenty minutes each. You pick. Like none of them and we go again at our cost.
They start
Access tested before the date is confirmed, then a structured first day — not a login and good luck.
After you choose
The first ninety days,
planned before day one.
A good hire still fails without a plan. This one is written before your seat starts, and we run it with you — you are not handed a person and left to work it out.

If it doesn't work, that's our problem.
