FAQs
How to join a recruitment agency?
Joining as a jobseeker means registering your CV and availability so the agency can match you to client vacancies.
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.
How much do recruitment agencies charge per hour?
Contract staff are billed per hour worked, at a rate we agree before mobilising, with no hidden add-ons.
How do recruitment agencies work in australia?
Australian agencies place permanent candidates and supply temp/contract workers; permanent placement is exempt from labour-hire licensing, temp/contract supply isn't in licensed states.
Do you need a labour hire licence to recruit permanent staff in the ACT?
Permanent placement is exempt from labour hire licensing — we lead with RCSA membership and structured candidate vetting. Temp and contract placements in ACT are supplied under our ACT labour hire licence.
