FAQs

What businesses usually want to know first.

A few questions that come up on most first calls, answered upfront.

How long does a typical search take?

For a planned search, where we’ve already identified the role as a risk and started building a shortlist, most placements land in 3–4 weeks. Starting from scratch with no notice is typically 9–11 weeks.

We work on a flat fee by role band, agreed before the search starts, rather than a percentage of the candidate’s salary. That means your cost doesn’t move if the offer does. Bands currently range from $6,500 for support-level roles up to $14,500 for senior and leadership roles, with executive and cleared roles quoted individually. We also offer a standalone Attrition & Business Health Check from $1,200.
Every placement comes with a 90-day replacement guarantee. If it doesn’t work out within that window, we run the search again at no extra cost. It’s a standard term in every engagement, not something you have to ask for.

No. A lot of our value comes from working with businesses before they need to hire, mapping which roles are highest risk, and building a shortlist ahead of time. If you’re not currently hiring but want to understand where your team is exposed, that’s exactly the conversation to have with us.

Yes. We work with clients hiring into Baseline, NV1 and NV2 cleared roles, and understand the timelines and process involved. We can also source candidates who already hold clearance or are eligible, which is often the difference between a role stalling and filling on schedule.
We work with Australian businesses of any size — from lean teams making their first structured hire to larger organisations — across sales, operations, finance and leadership roles, as well as government and defence-adjacent positions. What matters more than size is whether you want a specialist partner who understands your business, rather than a transactional fill.
Yes. Reach out directly and we’ll have a conversation about where you are and what you’re looking for. We only put candidates forward for roles that genuinely fit, and we’ll always be upfront with you about the business and the role before any interview happens.
