Insights from the inside
“I started off as a Traffic Controller in the early days and was brought on by JV Recruitment to help launch JV Traffic. Now, 3.5 years on, we're incredibly proud to be an established traffic control company, with my role being to control the full operations of JV Traffic. I'm extremely happy to be a part of the JV family and cannot wait for the future and whatever it holds!”
Tyrone Candido
Traffic Operations Coordinator,
Melbourne
“I’ve been part of JV Recruitment for eight years, and it’s been an incredible journey of growth, learning, and teamwork. When I first joined, I never imagined how much I’d develop — both professionally and personally. JV has given me opportunities to take on new challenges, lead an amazing team, and play a key role in shaping how our finance function supports the wider business."
Stephanie Nelson
Finance Team Leader
“After three years in Australian construction, covering carpentry, civil work, and OHS, I transitioned into recruitment. My success in Victoria led to an opportunity to open and lead our new Queensland office while supporting the NSW team. Promoted to Queensland Labour Hire Team Leader within a year, we have since doubled in size and continue to grow.”
Bradley Spink
Team Leader, Brisbane
