FAQs
What industries do you support for volume hiring?
Chandler Macleod has delivered bulk recruitment campaigns across mining and resources, government and public sector (including APS agencies), aviation, transport and logistics, customer service, industrial and manufacturing, and infrastructure. We tailor each campaign's sourcing, assessment, and onboarding approach to the sector's specific compliance and workforce requirements.
Can you provide short-term recruitment support for projects?
Yes. We specialise in fixed-term and project-based recruitment, from rapid mobilisation of a small specialist team to large-scale workforce builds for major infrastructure or government contracts. We can deploy an onsite recruitment team, run a virtual campaign, or deliver a hybrid model, whatever suits your project timeline and location.
How do you maintain quality in high-volume recruitment?
We combine structured success profiling, psychometric and skills assessment through our Assessment Gateway platform, and experienced recruiters who understand your sector. BestFit™ methodology is applied at scale to ensure that hiring speed doesn't come at the cost of candidate quality. Live reporting dashboards give you full visibility throughout the campaign.
How quickly can Chandler Macleod mobilise a volume recruitment campaign?
For urgent or time-critical campaigns, Chandler Macleod can mobilise a recruitment team and commence sourcing within days of briefing. Lead times depend on role type, volume, and assessment requirements, contact us to discuss your timeline and we'll give you a realistic delivery plan.
Do you offer onsite recruitment teams for large-scale projects?
Yes. For large or complex campaigns, Chandler Macleod can embed an onsite recruitment team at your location, managing candidate flow, assessment centres, compliance, and onboarding in real time. This is particularly suited to mining, construction, and government contracts where physical proximity improves speed and candidate experience.
Can you integrate with our existing ATS or HR systems?
Yes. Chandler Macleod's platforms integrate with major ATS and HRIS systems, and we can adapt our workflow to your existing processes rather than requiring you to change them. Our hiring dashboards can also be configured to surface the reporting metrics most relevant to your program governance requirements.
