We are very, very good at getting the match between you and your new staff member right first time—we don’t believe in wasting your time, or the candidate’s time by trying to force a square peg into a round hole.
But in recruitment we are dealing with people, and occasionally things don’t go according to plan. If that happens, we won’t leave you out of pocket or in the lurch – it’s why we have our unique Money Back Guarantee and Replacement Guarantee.
Permanent placements
We give you a full refund or a free replacement if your new staff member doesn’t work out within 12 weeks.
Temporary/contract placements
We give you a full refund or a free replacement if your new staff member doesn’t work out within four hours if the placement is less than a week, or within one day if the placement is more than a week.

With our industry and recruiting expertise we can find better people for you reliably and quickly. We save you time and money; once you add up the costs of phone calls and advertising, and the time you spend writing position descriptions, sorting through the applicants, shortlisting, reference checking … well, we think your efforts are better spent working on your business!
We have three specialist divisions – Professional Business Support, Legal Support, Accounting & Finance; Technology & Projects; Marketing, Communications & Sales; and Government & Affiliates. Our Professional Business Support division recruits across all industries.
No. The cost of advertising is included in our success fee, unless you want to brand the advert.
The average interview takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, however this can differ depending on the role.
We encourage you to meet with us face-to-face (or over Teams/Zoom where lockdowns are in place) so that we can find out everything we need and get to know you properly. Our recruitment specialists know the right questions to ask to understand your brief, saving you time in the long run.
One word: communication. Regular and open discussion is very much encouraged, and your recruitment specialist will be in regular contact.
Great candidates are in high demand, so we recommend that as soon as your recruitment specialist presents candidates to you, you interview them as quickly as possible. Your recruitment specialist will work to keep the candidate interested and up to date as you get the process rolling.
If a candidate does not work out for whatever reason within their probationary period, we will replace them free of charge, or refund your fee. For permanent staff the probationary period is 12 weeks, for temporary staff it’s one day if the assignment is more than a week, or four hours if the assignment is less than a week.
We use a range of social media, search tools, networks, our database and head-hunting to find quality candidates. We also receive a large number of referrals from our existing clients and candidates.
Our strength is across the greater Sydney area given our head office is here, however we also place roles across Melbourne, Brisbane, Camberra & Perth CBDs and suburbs.
This will vary depending on the skills you need the candidate to have. An overview of our fees is outlined in our pricing section and includes all costs such as Superannuation, payroll tax, insurance, and GST.
There is a minimum callout of 4 hours for temporary staff. You can take a temp on from a ½ a day assignment to an ongoing assignment.
The standard tests we ask candidates to perform include data entry, typing and specific computer software testing. We can also tailor skills testing to meet your requirements—we have over 900 available.
We’ll check in with you in the first 4 hours of an assignment to make sure you’re happy with your new team member. If not, and the assignment is less than a week, we will refill the role free of charge, or refund your fee. For assignments of more than one week, we will provide a full refund for time worked and an immediate replacement with a day’s notice.
No, you are only charged for the hours the temporary staff member works.
