The Partnership Programme
The second hire should be easier than the first. So it costs less.
Once we have mapped your market for one role, the next role starts from the map, not from zero. Most agencies keep that saving. We pass it on, and write it into the terms before the first hire.
How the fee steps down
Hires 1 and 2
Scale rate
The fee we agree in writing before we start, set on the full package.
Hires 3 to 5
10% off
On every hire from the third to the fifth in any rolling twelve months.
Hire 6 onwards
20% off, locked
Not a promotion that expires. From the sixth hire the discount holds for as long as we work together, across every role and every sector.
Counts permanent placements and on-hire workers on the same ledger. A labour hire crew and a site manager both move you down the scale.
Four things in writing, before the first hire
- 12 month replacement guarantee. If a permanent hire does not work out within twelve months, we replace them once, free of charge, on our standard terms. Every placement, not just the first.
- 20% off, locked from hire six. It does not reset at the end of the year.
- Permanent and on-hire count together. Both sit on the same ledger.
- One Director owns the relationship. Our systems do the mapping and the admin. The brief, the shortlist call and anything hard sits with a Director, and that does not change as you grow.
Worked example: six hires in a year
A builder bringing on two site managers, three supervisors and a project manager over twelve months, same scale rate on each.
- Hires 1 and 2 at the scale rate
- Hires 3, 4 and 5 at 90% of scale
- Hire 6 at 80% of scale
- Every hire after that at 80% of scale, locked
- Average across the six: about 92% of scale
From the seventh hire, every placement is a fifth cheaper than the first.
Why it works
The expensive part of a search is the first week: finding who is out there, who is good, who is moveable and what they would move for. For your second role in the same market, most of that is already done. The programme is us being honest about where the cost actually sits.
What it is not
No retainer, no minimum, no exclusivity required to qualify. The step-down is earned by hiring, not by signing something. If you hire twice and stop, you have paid scale twice and that is the end of it.
Hiring ten or more people a year and would rather pay a monthly fee than a fee per hire? That is a different product: ask Chris about Always-on Recruitment.
Compliant on day one, and still compliant in month six
Whether you are hiring a plumber, an electrician, a site manager or a registered nurse, every candidate we put forward is checked against the role and the site before you see a name. Licences, tickets, registrations and inductions are held against each person with their expiry dates, so a renewal is flagged before the shift rather than discovered on site. Under the programme the checklist is tailored to your sites and your induction requirements, and the records are there when the auditor asks.
- Role and site specific inductions, completed before day one
- Licences, tickets and registrations, tracked to expiry
- Verification of competency for the plant and tasks on your site
- Right to work and ID verified before anyone is presented
- Client inductions and access requirements
- SWMS and WHS acknowledgements signed digitally and kept on record
Start with one role. The programme starts counting from there.
