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.

Claimsout the day they are due, not the week after
Variationslogged when they happen, not found at final account
Retentionstracked and released, not written off

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.

1 Sourced against your brief
2 Screened on construction knowledge
3 Skills testHard gate
4 Internal interviewHard gate
5 Work sample on your kind of job
6 Identity, references and security

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.

1
Days 1–2

We scope the seat

One call, then a written brief: your jobs, your software, your hours and your deal-breakers.

2
Week 1

We source & screen

Fifty to seventy candidates found and vetted down. You never see the ones who didn't pass.

3
End of week 1

You interview three

Fifteen to twenty minutes each. You pick. Like none of them and we go again at our cost.

Week 2

They start

Access tested before the date is confirmed, then a structured first day — not a login and good luck.

Nothing payable anywhere in here

Frequently asked

The questions builders
actually ask us.

Will they be asleep when I’m on site?
No. Manila is two hours behind Sydney — three in daylight saving — so a 6am start there is 8am here. Your seat is at their desk before your first delivery and still there when you come off the tools. Nine hours of overlap, every day.
Do I need a company overseas?
No. The seat is legally our employee, not yours. The contract, the tax, the leave and every statutory obligation sit with us. You get one AUD invoice a month and you direct the work.
Will they actually know construction?
Every seat is screened against a real Australian construction role and the software you already run — Procore, Buildxact, Xero, AutoCAD. Five to ten years’ experience, degree-qualified. The rate is low because Manila rent is low, not because the person is junior.
What if I don’t like the person?
You interview all three and choose — we never assign you someone, and you pay nothing until you’ve picked. After that there’s a six-month rematch guarantee: if it isn’t working we replace the seat at no cost, with wages covered while we do.
Am I locked into a contract?
Thirty days’ notice, no lock-in, no recruitment or setup fees. Plus ninety days to win your money back — if the seat hasn’t given you back at least eight hours a week, month four is on us.
Is my data safe?
Your seat works inside your systems through managed remote access, not by copying files to their own machine. Confidentiality and IP assignment are in writing before day one, and we can work to whatever access rules your business already has.

The guarantee

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

Ninety days to win your money back — if the seat hasn't given you back at least eight hours a week, month four is on us. Plus a six-month rematch guarantee. The risk of trying this sits with us, not the builder writing the cheque.
