FAQs
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.
How much do recruitment agencies charge?
You pay a placement percentage for permanent roles or an hourly rate for contract staff, with no hidden fees.
Do recruitment agencies work?
Yes — a good agency shortens time-to-hire by working from a pre-vetted candidate network and screening against your brief, which is especially valuable for hard-to-fill or specialist roles.
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.
