About Us

Tired of wasting time on recruitment?

We built Apex Trade Recruitment because hiring reliable workers shouldn't be this hard. Trade businesses, warehouses and construction operators were drowning in CVs, getting ghosted by no-shows, and paying through the nose for agencies that moved at a snail's pace.

So we stripped it back. We focus on one thing. Getting your business reliable workers, fast. No complicated portals. No account managers who don't return calls. No jargon.

Just real people, properly screened, ready to work. That's the whole model.

Apex is run by Matt Becker (sales) and Matt Larkin (five-plus years on the tools — mechanic and crane operator). We ran our first placements completely free to prove the system worked before charging anyone a cent. The reviews below came from those placements.
