FAQs
Are recruitment agencies worth it?
An agency earns its fee on hard-to-fill roles by surfacing vetted candidates you couldn't reach yourself.
How do recruitment agencies charge?
Fees are either a salary percentage on permanent hires or an hourly contract margin — always paid by the employer, never the candidate.
How do recruitment agencies work?
We work to your brief — sourcing, screening and reference-checking — then hand you a vetted shortlist to pick from; you only pay on a successful placement.
Do you need a labour hire licence to recruit permanent staff in Victoria?
Permanent placement is exempt from labour hire licensing — we lead with RCSA membership and structured candidate vetting. Temp and contract placements in VIC are supplied under our VIC labour hire licence.
