Our Story | MAYDAY Technical

MAYDAY was founded with a simple belief: recruitment should feel human. When we opened our doors, we didn’t want to be the biggest agency, but we did want to be the one people remembered for how we made them feel. For showing up. For caring. For doing the right thing, even when it took more time or effort.

What started as three founders around a kitchen table has grown into a national team of specialists across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane all united by one mindset: put people first; the impact is felt far beyond the placement.

Following rapid growth across corporate recruitment, MAYDAY saw what the market was missing: a technical recruitment partner that could move fast, truly understand the workforce, and still lead with care. That gap became MAYDAY Blue.

Launched in 2018 as a small electrical labour hire business, the brand quickly grew; supporting sparkies, HVAC technicians and plumbers across major Sydney projects. In 2020, David Booth was appointed to lead the next phase of growth, bringing over 15 years’ experience across supply chain, construction, facilities management and engineering recruitment.

Today, that evolution continues as MAYDAY Technical. We deliver end-to-end technical recruitment across skilled trades, professional and leadership roles, with specialist teams across NSW, QLD and VIC supporting permanent and contract hiring.
