The Bayswater and Bayswater North industrial precinct is one of eastern Melbourne’s largest employment zones — spanning over 735 hectares across the Knox and Maroondah municipalities, with more than 1,800 businesses and approximately 35,500 jobs. Combined with the manufacturing and commercial precincts in Kilsyth, Croydon and Ringwood, this corridor represents one of the highest concentrations of industrial activity outside Melbourne’s western and southeastern hubs.
Our Dandenong South office connects directly to this precinct via Eastlink, giving us the response speed that CBD-based agencies can’t match for the outer east. We’ve placed workers in factories, warehouses, and on construction sites across this corridor for more than 20 years. When a production shift needs filling at short notice or a warehouse in Kilsyth needs forklift operators for a seasonal push, we draw from a local candidate pool that already knows the area.
Being local isn’t just about address — it’s about response speed and community knowledge.

“SMS Personnel is a fantastic company with quality people. VicTas Freight Express has been using casual staff on a daily basis for the past 3 years and we could not be happier with the service Faye and Dion provide. SMS Personnel always has people available at short notice when we have staff cancel, and are a great asset to our business.”
“I have been dealing with Faye and her team for a few years now and have always found them to be responsive, rather than reactive, to my business needs. Whether it’s retail, clerical or warehousing staff you are after, SMS Personnel will have you covered for the part we all find hard in small business — choosing the right candidate for the role.”
“SMS Personnel is a great company dedicated to assisting our business with its ever changing requirements and growth. Dion’s down to earth approach to finding the right candidate that will fit within the dynamics of the business is excellent. I have used SMS Personnel’s services for over 7 years and would highly recommend them.”
