FAQs

What is a staffing agency?

It's a business that connects employers with workers, whether by supplying staff we employ or by placing candidates into your roles.

How to hire temp workers?

Temp hiring is fastest through a provider who already employs the workers — we cover the employment and you just set the shifts.

What is labour hire?

Labour hire means we employ the workers — handling pay, super, insurance and compliance — and place them on your site under your direction, for a shift, a project or a season.

Do i need a labour hire licence?

Yes — Queensland requires a labour-hire licence, and hosts share liability for using an unlicensed provider. We hold a current Queensland licence; verify it on the public register before engaging anyone.
