FAQs
How much do recruitment agencies charge per hour?
The hourly charge bundles the worker's pay with a margin for super, insurance and our service — quoted up front per role.
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 recruitment agencies take a cut of your salary?
No — the agency's fee is paid by the employer and is separate from your salary. For permanent roles you receive your full agreed wage; the placement fee doesn't come out of it.
Do you need a labour hire licence to recruit permanent staff in Queensland?
Permanent placement is exempt from labour hire licensing — we lead with RCSA membership and structured candidate vetting. Temp and contract placements in QLD are supplied under our QLD labour hire licence.
