Brisbane Trades Hiring
Rivina helps Brisbane trade businesses find reliable qualified tradies through specialist permanent recruitment, active sourcing and trade-specific screening. Built for companies that need quality people, not resume spam.
For employers
Trade businesses lose money when key seats stay empty. Rivina helps companies find qualified people without relying only on job-board luck.
Brisbane trade employers compete across service, maintenance, commercial construction and facilities work, so a clear package and fast candidate communication matter.
Rivina is built for HVAC, refrigeration and electrical businesses that need qualified staff for service, maintenance and facilities work without wasting weeks on weak applications.
Tell us whether you need short-term cover or someone to join your team permanently. Rivina focuses on permanent recruitment, with a brief built around the work, experience and conditions that matter to your business.
What you get
Brisbane recruitment agency comparison
Brisbane employers searching for a recruitment agency can encounter generalist recruiters, temporary labour-hire suppliers and permanent-placement specialists on the same results page. Use these checks to match the provider to an ongoing HVAC, refrigeration or electrical vacancy before a search begins.
Start by deciding whether the work has a genuine end date. Temporary labour hire can fit leave cover, a defined project or a short workload peak. A recurring service route, maintenance portfolio or permanent team vacancy needs someone who can learn the customers, systems and standards. Rivina focuses on permanent placement and does not supply temporary on-hire labour.
Ask the recruiter to describe the role beyond its title. Commercial HVAC service, supermarket refrigeration, industrial electrical maintenance and project installation require different experience. A useful agency should identify the systems, sites, customer contact, licences where relevant and technical responsibilities that separate an appropriate candidate from a broadly available one.
State where the day usually starts and how often work reaches Brisbane CBD, the northside, southside, Ipswich, Logan or Moreton Bay. Include vehicle, fuel, tolls, parking and paid-travel arrangements. Employed tradespeople often assess the everyday route alongside the pay, so a broad Brisbane label is not enough for credible outreach.
Give the agency ordinary hours, realistic overtime, on-call frequency, allowances, vehicle, tools, training, supervision and progression alongside the rate. Ask how those details will be presented to employed candidates and how market feedback will be reported. A focused shortlist built from informed conversations is more useful than a large batch of resumes.
Recruitment vs labour hire
Many trade businesses search for labour hire when they really need a reliable permanent hire. Rivina does not supply temporary on-hire labour; we help employers compare the options and recruit for ongoing roles when permanent placement is the better fit.
An option for leave cover, a defined project or a short workload peak. Rivina does not provide this service.
Best when the business needs an HVAC technician, refrigeration mechanic or electrician who can become part of the team.
We look beyond licences and ask whether the person suits the work, culture, pace and expectations.
You can start a search without paying a retainer. Rivina earns the fee when a placement is made.
Why Rivina
Rivina works with HVAC service companies, commercial refrigeration businesses and electrical contractors hiring for projects, facilities and maintenance work. We write and speak like people who understand the work because that is what attracts better conversations from both clients and candidates.
Brisbane candidates commonly compare travel, vehicle, call-out, overtime, training and the quality of day-to-day leadership before moving.
Areas supported include Brisbane CBD, North Brisbane, South Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan and surrounding regions.
Ask how Rivina will position the role, screen relevant experience and keep you updated. The process should be clear before the search begins.
