The Challenge

A construction organisation with 600 employees won three new project mobilisations in the same quarter and needed a WHS Coordinator on each site within weeks, a volume requirement its standard single-role recruitment process wasn’t built to handle efficiently.

Our Approach

Rather than running three separate single-role searches, Civitas shifted the engagement into a volume recruitment model, sourcing and screening against one consistent standard across all three roles simultaneously.

The Solution

Civitas delivered a qualified WHS Coordinator for each of the three sites within a combined 3-week window, using a shared assessment process to keep screening standards consistent across all three hires.

Measured Impact

• All three sites resourced with WHS Coordinators ahead of mobilisation deadlines
• Consistent screening standard applied across all three hires
• No mobilisation delays attributable to safety resourcing gaps
• Reduced per-hire cost relative to running three separate agency searches

Client Reflection

Treating it as one project instead of three separate searches saved us real time and money.

Why This Matters

Multi-site mobilisations are exactly the scenario where single-role recruitment processes break down, this engagement shows why a volume-recruitment mindset, not just faster single searches, is what actually solves the problem.
