In many industries, including construction and landscaping, the biggest issue isn’t finding work – it’s finding the workers. While traditional labour hire agencies pull from the same pool of workers, Casu is doing something different. By giving casual workers more flexibility, simplicity and control, whilst utilising a different employment model, we’re unlocking a whole new workforce that was previously sitting on the sidelines.
What Do We Mean by “Unlocking Casuals”?
Casu doesn’t just match you with the same handful of casuals rotating through the industry. We’re tapping into people who wouldn’t touch a traditional agency or long onboarding process with a ten-foot pole. We’re talking:
- Workers who only want one shift a week
- Semi-retired tradies happy to jump in now and then
- Uni students and backpackers who can’t commit to full weeks
- Skilled people between jobs and commitments
- Part-time workers looking for a few extra hours
- New-to-industry labourers who need an easy way to get started
These workers are reliable. They’re skilled. And they’ve been left out of the system… until now.
Why These Workers Avoid Traditional Models
Let’s be real. Traditional labour hire setups just aren’t built for flexibility. Long interviews. Ongoing rosters. Paperwork overload. Few protections. Casu changes all that. We let workers:
- Create one profile, once
- Browse shifts that fit their lifestyle and skills
- Work on their terms, not someone else’s
- Get paid on time with super and tax sorted
- Get all of the protection like any other casual employement
This simplicity brings in a flood of casuals who were previously invisible to the industry. And guess who gets access first? You do.
How This Helps Your Business
Accessing this untapped pool of workers means you’re no longer fighting over the same tired list of casuals as everyone else. With Casu, you get:
- Higher job fill rates: Because our casuals are flexible, available and local
- Faster hiring: Post a job and get matched in minutes
- More reliable workers: These aren’t people burned out by overuse – they want the shift
- A broader skill mix: From licensed carpenters to students happy to clean up a site
- Less admin: We handle onboarding, timesheets, payroll and more
- Lower costs: No hidden fees, no markups, no full-day minimums. You set the rate because you’re the employer – not us. That means fairer pricing for you and better value for your site.
Where It’s Making the Biggest Impact
We’re seeing the biggest wins in:
- Brisbane and Gold Coast small construction businesses
- Development companies who run lean, but have big projects
- Landscaping crews needing inconsistant help – whether thats every other day or a random Tuesday
- Fit-out teams with irregular project timelines
- Maintenance and repair companies with unpredictable schedules
- Builders tackling Olympic-related infrastructure work
When the job is short, urgent or irregular – Casu becomes your secret weapon.
The Workforce Was Always There. You Just Couldn’t See It.
There’s a massive pool of workers out there who want to help your business – they just don’t want the red tape. Casu opens the door. We give these casuals the flexibility and support they need to say yes to your job.
That means your crew gets stronger, faster and more reliable, without paying a premium or waiting days for an agency to call you back.
