Client Story: Recruit Personnel’s Partnership with Red Insight
When it comes to keeping people safe at work, Recruit Personnel doesn’t just talk about it — they live it.
For more than two decades, this Maitland-based recruitment and labour hire company has helped businesses across the Hunter find the right people with the right skills. As their team grew, so did their commitment to safety — ensuring every placement met not just the needs of the client but the expectations of a safe, compliant workplace.
To achieve that, Recruit Personnel partnered with Red Insight — a local WHS consultancy known for its practical, hands-on approach. Together, they’ve built a robust Work Health and Safety system that blends compliance with real-world application. From policies and procedures to training and on-site inspections, the partnership has created a culture where safety isn’t a box to tick — it’s a daily habit.
In this short video, Managing Director Paul Callinan shares how Red Insight’s guidance has strengthened Recruit Personnel’s WHS systems, increased transparency with clients, and given the company confidence that every worker goes to site with the right knowledge and support.
“The great part of our relationship with Red Insight is that they don’t duck from anything — and they don’t let you duck from anything. That honesty builds real trust.”
— Paul Callinan, Recruit Personnel
Paul explains that what stands out most is the partnership’s honesty, accountability, and consistency. Red Insight’s consultants aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions or highlight what needs improving — and that’s exactly what has helped Recruit Personnel maintain high safety standards across every placement.
