FAQs
Do recruitment agencies charge candidates?
No — reputable agencies are paid by the employer, not the candidate. Registering, being represented and being placed are free for jobseekers. Be wary of anyone asking candidates for placement fees.
How do recruitment agencies get paid?
The employer pays the agency — a percentage of salary on permanent placements, or an hourly margin on temp and contract hours. Candidates are never charged for being placed.
How much do recruitment agencies charge?
Cost depends on the engagement: a salary percentage for permanent hires, an hourly margin for temp and contract, confirmed before you commit.
How to address a cover letter to a recruitment agency?
Address it to the named consultant if you have one, otherwise use a polite general greeting. Lead with the role or sector you're targeting, your key skills, and your availability — keep it concise.
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.
