About
The team at Category 5 have substantial experience in all aspects of labour recruitment and safety management. The advantage we deliver to our clients is the support of a dedicated labour management company.
Category 5 was founded in 2009 in Port Hedland, by CEO and owner, Sam Sycamore. Born in Port Hedland, and with more than 15 years experience gleaned in senior Mining and Resources, Oil and Gas and Industrial management positions, throughout some of the biggest recruitment companies in the Country, Sam saw an opportunity to provide a more tailored solution for both clients and candidates.
It was this recognition, combined with a passion for the Recruitment and Labour Hire industry that saw Category 5 born. From commencing initially as a sole operator, over the last 10 years, Sam has recruited some of the best operators in the recruitment business, which has allowed Category 5 to expand their expertise and service offering throughout Western Australia and into Victoria, and New Zealand, with further expansion into other State’s in Australia, imminent.
With a team of more than 20 dedicated professionals, Category 5 has been founded on the recognition and understanding of the gaps in the Labour Hire, Recruitment, Managed Labour and Safety Management spaces, that only personalised service can provide.
The Category 5 family is dedicated to building a business that creates long-term, and sustainable opportunities for both their clients and their employees. Making a difference to people’s lives – both from a client and employee perspective is the key value that underpins everything Category 5 stands for.
