Our Story

SUPPORTING YOUR PROJECT
FROM THE
GROUND UP

Launched in 2018, Dash Group was built by people who understand construction — not just recruitment. We know what a project manager needs when a crew doesn't show, what a foreman needs at 6am, and what a developer needs when handover is in two weeks.

We supply skilled, vetted labour at every stage of the build programme — our consultants understand construction sequencing, trade dependencies and programme pressure. We don't just fill roles — we keep your project moving.

Our Model

ONE CONSULTANT.
TOTAL OWNERSHIP.

At Dash Group, our consultants operate as true 360 Specialists — they own the relationship from first call to final placement and beyond. No handoffs. No dropped balls. One expert who knows your business inside out.

While most agencies split the job between a BDM, an account manager and a resourcer — creating gaps, delays and miscommunication — our 360 model keeps everything with one person who is fully accountable for your outcome.

They Know Your Business

Your 360 consultant takes the time to understand your site, your standards and your culture — so every worker they send is the right fit, not just available.

One Call Gets It Done

No being passed between departments. No repeating yourself. Your consultant handles everything — from the brief to the booking to the follow-up — in a single conversation.

Faster, Better Outcomes

Because your consultant owns both client and candidate relationships, they move faster and make better matches. Less back-and-forth, more workers on site — when you need them.

The Old Way — Traditional Agencies
✕ BDM wins the deal, then hands you off
✕ Resourcer who's never met you fills the role
✕ Account manager in the middle managing both
✕ Slow response, diluted accountability
✕ Three people, three different versions of your brief
The Dash Group Way — 360 Specialist
✓ One consultant owns the entire relationship
✓ They source, vet and place — start to finish
✓ Full accountability — one person, one outcome
✓ Faster response, sharper brief, better match
✓ Your consultant knows your site as well as you do

Common Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

General
What if I'm sick and cannot go to work?
Always contact your direct manager/supervisor as soon as you know you will be absent from work. This gives your employer time to find cover. Casually employed on-hired employees are not paid for hours not worked due to sick leave. If you've seen a doctor, we recommend getting a medical certificate.
If I work as a temp and want to leave, how much notice do I have to give?
Your employment contract outlines the required notice period. On-hired casual staff can have a notice period from 1 hour to 1 month depending on your role type. If you're unsure, speak to your Dash Group consultant. Working as a temp is also a great way to introduce yourself to an employer — if you do a great job, you may be considered for permanent opportunities.
If I am on a Working Holiday Visa (WHV), can I apply for a permanent role?
Probably not. However, we recommend speaking to an authorised migration agent about your specific case and situation, as visa conditions vary.
In case of an incident, who do I notify?
Report any incident or near miss to your supervisor and Dash Group — even if you weren't injured. Contact your Dash Group consultant immediately, or our OHS representative: Keren Lewinsohn at workcover@dashgroup.net.au.

Refer to our Return to Work Information sheet for further guidance.
