Community-powered workforce · Australia, NZ & Latin America
Whatever you need staffed — a warehouse crew, an events team, a permanent engineer, or talent sourced from our Latin-American network — the right people are ready. From Melbourne to Medellín.
Most agencies do one thing. Calima runs three connected businesses on one community — the network that sends you a forklift crew also sends the permanent engineer, and the Latin-American talent no one else can reach.
Reliable crews on-site across Australia & New Zealand.

Oskar Morad came to Melbourne from Cali, Colombia with US$800 to his name — and an eye that wouldn't look away. Everywhere he looked, capable people were working hard for less than they were worth.
Fifty dollars of flyers started a service built on one promise: pay people properly, give businesses absolute reliability, and run it hands-on — never from a desk.
The turning point came when a client's factory worker called in sick. Oskar sent a replacement who worked so well they kept him on — the first Calima placement. That same standard now anchors hundreds of placements across six cities.

Oskar Morad · Founder
Cold job boards send strangers. We're embedded in the Latin-American community across Australia, New Zealand and beyond — real trust, real loyalty, and workers who answer the call. That's how shifts fill in minutes.
A direct line to a decision-maker. No phone menus, no ghosting, no excuses. If we say a crew is on-site by the morning brief, they're there.
Casual workers move into permanent roles; skilled people into professional ones — with zero transition fees. People who see a future show up and stay.
Labour-hire licensed in Victoria, Queensland and South Australia, with public liability and workers' compensation cover in place. Right-to-work verified end-to-end. Award-compliant payroll, managed in full.
Hundreds of placements · a national talent pool · operating since 2020.
Real shifts, fair pay, and a real path forward — from warehouse and events to permanent roles for engineers and IT. Here you're treated like family, not a number, and many of our people move from a casual shift into a career.
