What Makes a Good Labour Hire Worker? Our Vetting Process Explained

In the fast-paced world of construction, the quality of your workforce can make or break a project. At LabourGO, we understand that hiring the right people isn’t just about filling gaps—it’s about keeping your site running smoothly, safely, and on time.

That’s why we take our vetting process seriously. In this article, we’ll walk you through what we look for in a labour hire worker and how we ensure every person we send to site meets our high standards.

1. Attitude Comes First

We always say: skills can be taught, but the right mindset is non-negotiable.

A good labour hire worker:

• Shows up on time

• Communicates clearly

• Respects the site, the team, and the task

• Takes direction without fuss

We screen for attitude in every interview—because one person’s behaviour can impact an entire crew.

2. Verified Skills and Experience

Whether it’s general labouring, site cleaning, or trade assistance, our team makes sure each candidate:

• Has relevant on-site experience

• Understands basic site protocols

• Holds any required tickets or qualifications

We match workers to jobs based on the skills they’ve demonstrated—not just what’s on paper.

3. Safety-Minded and Work-Ready

Safety is non-negotiable on any site. Every LabourGO worker:

• Has a valid White Card

• Is briefed on WHS expectations

• Understands site procedures and risk awareness

We also ensure they show up properly equipped—ready to get started without delays.

4. Right Fit for Your Team

Beyond the basics, we think about the fit—the kind of worker who’ll suit your site environment and team culture. We ask the right questions so we can send you people who aren’t just competent, but collaborative.

5. Our Ongoing Checks

Our job doesn’t stop once a worker is placed. We:

• Check in regularly with both clients and workers

• Track reliability, punctuality, and site feedback

• Continuously update our worker database based on real-world performance

This helps us build a team of trusted, proven people we can stand behind.

Why It Matters

We know how frustrating it is when a labour hire worker turns up unprepared—or worse, doesn’t turn up at all. That’s why LabourGO only sends people we’d be happy to have on our own site.

Whether you need help for a day or long-term backup for a major project, our team is ready to deliver.
