FAQs
Do recruitment agencies work?
Used well, agencies save you time and surface candidates you wouldn't reach through advertising alone.
What is a recruitment agency?
A recruitment agency does the hiring legwork — search, screening and shortlisting — and is paid by the employer, not the candidate.
How much do recruitment agencies charge?
Permanent hires are a percentage of salary; temp and contract is an hourly margin — quoted up front, candidates never charged.
Are recruitment agencies worth it?
An agency earns its fee on hard-to-fill roles by surfacing vetted candidates you couldn't reach yourself.
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.
