[GENERAL GUIDANCE] "Skilled," "semi-skilled" and "general" workforce categories are common shorthand in recruitment, referring broadly to the level of trade qualification or specialised experience a role requires — not a formal legal classification on their own.
| Category | What it typically means | Recruitment implication |
|---|---|---|
| Skilled | Trade-qualified or role-specific technical experience (e.g. electricians, chefs, engineers) | Sourcing and screening usually verify trade/technical background specifically |
| Semi-skilled | Some relevant experience but less formal trade qualification (e.g. front desk staff, cleaning supervisors) | Screening focuses on relevant prior experience and role fit |
| General | Entry-level or role-agnostic workforce (e.g. general cleaners, helpers) | Sourcing focuses on availability, willingness and basic role suitability |
[ADMANCO SERVICE INFORMATION] Across our five confirmed sectors, we source and screen against whichever skill level an employer's specific role requires — the distinction mainly changes what we verify during screening, not the overall process.
