A Proven Screening Partner for Australian Businesses

Recruiting tradestaff has become increasingly difficult for businesses across Australia. Many are facing low applicant numbers, poor-quality candidates, or delays that slow projects and increase costs. A recent NSW client came to us experiencing exactly this problem. They needed people quickly—but they also needed applicants who were actually qualified.

Mornington Screening Service stepped in to streamline the process and turn a hiring challenge into a hiring win.

A smarter approach to attracting applicants

The first roadblock was the ad itself. The client had been posting roles that weren’t generating the right level of interest. We rebuilt the advertisement to be more engaging, targeted and appealing for the type of tradies they wanted to attract. The response changed immediately: more applicants, better quality, and a stronger shortlist from day one.

Screening that moves fast

Speed matters in recruitment, especially in trade-based roles where candidates move quickly. Within four days of the ad going live, our team completed our full screening and referred qualified applicants straight to the client.

No back-and-forth. No wasted time. Just a clean, accurate shortlist they could interview straight away.

Scaling up with volume recruitment technology

While this particular client needed a small shortlist, many businesses contact us when they need hundreds of applications processed efficiently. Our volume recruitment software is built for exactly that.

Here’s how it works:
• Once a SEEK application is received, our system automatically sends a screening email.
• At the same time, a text message goes out confirming that an email has been sent.
• Applicants complete their screening.
• Our team manually assesses every response.
• Qualified candidates are referred within 7–10 days—even at scale.

It’s the perfect blend of automation and human judgement, allowing us to deliver speed, accuracy and affordability for high-volume hiring.

Australia-wide screening support

Whether you're a small business looking for one team member or a national organisation managing large recruitment drives, we deliver consistent screening outcomes anywhere in Australia. Our process is fast, dependable and designed to save you hours of work while improving hiring accuracy.

The result

Our NSW client filled their tradestaff roles with confidence—quickly and without the stress they’d been experiencing. It’s a potent reminder that the proper screening process can completely change your recruitment outcomes.

Tip From the Expert

“Good screening removes the guesswork. Fast doesn’t mean rushed—it means the right system doing the heavy lifting so you only meet applicants who are genuinely worth your time.”
