Why Work With Trial By Fire Recruitment?
Your Next Move Should Be Worth Making
Changing jobs is a big decision.
It affects your pay, commute, routine, family and the kind of work you spend most of your week doing.
The last thing you need is a recruiter trying to push you into a role they barely understand because they need to fill something before Friday.
At Trial By Fire Recruitment, we take the time to understand what you can actually do, what you want next and the kind of business where you are likely to do your best work.
Our job is not to convince you to take every opportunity.
It is to help you recognise the right one.

We Understand the Work, Not Just the Job Title
Two people can have the same job title and completely different skills.
A cabinet maker producing kitchens is not automatically experienced in architectural joinery. A furniture upholsterer is not automatically a motor trimmer. A drafter knowing the software does not always mean they understand how the job gets manufactured.
We ask about the real work.
What have you built, sewn, trimmed, restored, installed, drafted or managed? What materials, machinery and systems have you used? What kind of workshop or business brings out your best work?
That helps us represent your experience properly instead of squeezing you into the closest job title we can find.

No Vague Job Pitches
We will not call you about an “amazing opportunity” and then avoid answering every basic question about it.
We will tell you what we know about the work, location, pay, expectations, team and business.
We will also tell you when we do not think a role is worth leaving your current job for.
There is no point moving to the same problems in a different company shirt, especially when the commute is longer and the money is worse.
Straight information helps you make a proper decision.

Your Resume Stays With You
We will not send your resume to a business without speaking with you and getting your permission first.
You deserve to know where your information is going, which role you are being considered for and how we are presenting your experience.
A confidential conversation stays confidential.
You are not stock for us to send around town and hope somebody buys.
You are a person making a career decision, and we treat it that way.

Opportunities Beyond Your Backyard
- We work with businesses across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, so your next opportunity does not always have to be around the corner.
- You may be looking for a shorter commute, a move to another region or a complete change of country. Because our network crosses three markets, we can keep you in mind for suitable roles beyond your current location.
- We will be honest about the pay, cost of moving, work rights and whether the employer offers relocation or sponsorship support. We will not sell you a dream and leave you to work out the difficult parts later.
- Whether you are moving across the state, across the country or across the world, we can help you understand what opportunities may be available and whether the move genuinely makes sense.
Support Through the Whole Move
We stay involved through the interview, feedback, offer, resignation, notice period and start.
We help you understand what the employer is looking for, prepare for the conversation and ask the questions that matter before you agree to anything.
Once you start, we check in to make sure the work, team and conditions match what was discussed.
Starting a new job can be exciting, uncomfortable and stressful all at once.
You should not be left wondering where the recruiter disappeared to once the paperwork was signed.
