Manufacturing Recruitment Software for Australian Skilled Trades
The skilled trades shortage is real — and production can't stop. Flowxtra helps Australian manufacturers find qualified tradespeople faster, filter by certification, and build a direct talent pipeline so you stop depending on expensive labour-hire firms. Fair Work Act 2009 and Privacy Act 1988 compliant.
Fill skilled trade vacancies before they stop production
An unfilled boilermaker or CNC operator vacancy doesn't just cost a salary — it stops a production line. Flowxtra helps you post to SEEK, Indeed AU and Jora instantly, filter by exact trade certifications, and move qualified candidates through your pipeline in days rather than weeks.
- Post to SEEK, Indeed AU, Jora and CareerOne simultaneously in one click
- Filter by Cert III/IV in Engineering, White Card, forklift licence and machine skills before reviewing CVs
- Automated candidate communications keep applicants engaged — fewer dropouts mid-process
Recruit across multiple sites and shifts from one system
Managing day shift, night shift, and rotating rosters across three sites in NSW, VIC and WA with a spreadsheet is how vacancies get missed. Flowxtra gives your HR team a single view of every open role, every candidate, and every shift — across every Australian site.
- Per-site career pages and job postings with shift-specific hours
- Unified dashboard for all sites — day, night, and rotating shifts visible at once
- Role-based approval workflows for shift supervisors and site managers
Reduce labour-hire dependency with a direct talent pipeline
Australian labour-hire firms charge 20–30% on-cost for every skilled trades hire — and you lose the relationship when the contract ends. Flowxtra lets you build a direct pipeline of qualified Australian tradespeople, keep them warm between vacancies, and rehire without paying a placement fee.
- Talent pool for qualified tradespeople — tagged by certification and availability
- Re-engage past applicants for new vacancies with one click
- Direct hiring saves an average of $AUD 10,000–$AUD 25,000 per skilled trades placement
Job filters built for Australian trade qualifications — not generic HR software
Generic HR software doesn't know the difference between a Certificate III in Engineering and a White Card. Flowxtra lets your team define exact filters for certifications, machine skills, and shift patterns — so only genuinely qualified candidates reach your inbox.
- Candidates select their certifications and machine skills — no free-text CVs to decode
- Filter by shift pattern (day/night/rotating) before scheduling interviews
- Career page shows trade-specific filters — qualified candidates find the right role instantly
