About Us - Blue Collar Skills

Blue Collar Skills is a specialist recruitment agency focused on trade staffing. It operates as the trade recruitment division of Konnecting, an Australian skilled migration and international recruitment consultancy firm.

Established in 2008, Konnecting has built a reputation for delivering integrated recruitment and migration solutions, helping Australian employers address persistent skills shortages by connecting them with qualified international workers. Over the years, we have established long-standing client partnerships, particularly with businesses facing challenges in sourcing skilled trades both locally and overseas.

With one of our founders having migrated to Australia, Konnecting understands first-hand the complexities and costs involved in hiring international staff. This insight has allowed us to streamline our recruitment and migration processes, ensuring trade staffing solutions that are both efficient and cost-effective.

Skill Shortages 

Australia continues to face significant skills shortages across trade occupations. According to the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, many businesses struggle to recruit qualified construction workers, engineers, and tradespeople.

At Blue Collar Skills, we specialise in recruiting hard-to-fill trade roles across the automotive, engineering, food, agriculture, and construction sectors. Our recruitment consultants work closely with clients to fully understand their business requirements and culture, ensuring a tailored strategy for identifying, attracting, and retaining the best candidates for permanent, full-time placements.
