Everything you want to know
Our experienced recruitment team have a diverse recruiting background and are always keen to tackle new roles. However, we have bucket-loads of experience in professional, technical and sales-focused roles, as that’s what we’re most passionate about!
It’s not the size that matters…it’s who you need that counts. Any size, any Aussie location. When we go searching for your next team member, we believe in finding you the ideal blend of knowledge, experience and cultural fit.
We’ve made it simple to budget for your recruitment needs and depending on your needs we can either quote a percentage fee upon placement or a fixed fee and payment plans can be arranged upon request.
- We sure can. This is our preferred way of working and part of our standard process, we don’t charge an additional fee for head hunting, our aim to find you the perfect candidate and we leave no stone unturned in our quest!
We don’t just find you great candidates, we actually really care about them succeeding in their new role. We keep in contact with them throughout their onboarding phase and if either party believes they’re not a perfect match, we encourage you to reach out to us for support. This is where our HR team can also give you guidance on how to help them succeed and ensure you meet your Fair Work obligations before letting them go.
