Specialist rail and labour hire recruiter, Kruzer Recruitment, established in 2012. Now, the business is on track to becoming a prominent recruiter in the rail and civil industry. With back office support and payroll finance from APositive, the business recently expanded its earth moving service to also provide labour hire. As a result, Kruzer Recruitment is now a one-stop-shop for the supply of all labour hire, plant hire and safe working needs.
The Problem
Needed back office assistance and access to funding to meet payroll on time, every time
When director Joshua Blundell saw the potential to extend Kruzer Recruitment from an earth moving and equipment hire business into a labour hire business, he needed a seamless back office to do it. Plus, access to funding for his temp payroll. “The problem was I needed help funding my payroll as our debtors were paying 30 days plus, and we had to pay our candidates weekly.”
"I have been able to run the business and not worry about finding the cash to pay our staff. APositive are great people to work with and they have always given us great advice."
