FAQs
Do recruitment agencies work?
They do, particularly for specialist or urgent roles, because the agency already has a vetted candidate pool to draw on.
What is a recruitment agency?
It's outsourcing the search and screening to a specialist who supplies a shortlist of vetted candidates and charges the employer on placement.
Do recruitment agencies take a cut of your salary?
Your wage isn't touched; the agency is paid by the client on top of what you earn.
Do you need a labour hire licence to recruit permanent staff?
Permanent placement is exempt from labour hire licensing — we lead with RCSA membership and structured candidate vetting. Temp and contract placements are covered under our interstate labour hire licences, Fair Work and workers compensation.
