Sydney's specialist in trades & industrial labour hire. Permanent and casual placements across Greater Sydney and NSW — backed by 12 years of honest recruitment.
Most recruitment agencies treat hiring like a transaction — take the brief, fire off some CVs, collect the fee. Forgepoint Recruitment exists because that approach fails clients and candidates equally. Kevin Mankin started this business to do something different: to be the recruiter he always wanted to be but rarely saw in the industry.
That means being honest when a candidate isn't the right fit, even if it means losing a placement. It means telling a client when their brief is unrealistic, rather than sending unsuitable people to tick a box. And it means every person Kevin places has been properly interviewed, reference-checked, and briefed on exactly what they're walking into.
For clients, that translates to workers who show up, do the job, and stick around. For candidates, it means a recruiter who's actually in your corner — not just trying to fill a shift.

"Needed three forklift drivers in 24 hours and Kevin had them on site the next morning. Tickets checked, ready to work. That's the service we'd been chasing for years."
"Submitted my CV on a Wednesday, had two interviews lined up by Friday, started work the following Monday. Honest about pay and conditions. Couldn't ask for better."
"Other agencies sent us anyone with a pulse. Kevin actually screens people first. The welders we got are still with us 12 months on."
