Recruitment Agencies

You want to offer your contractors the best service - from selection to commencement and beyond. Well, we have the same philosophy.

Contract1 works with a select number of agencies to ensure that a contractor's experience is as positive as it possibly can be. From commencement through extensions to the conclusion of the contract, the contractor has access to a self service portal so their transactions can be conducted instantly, without needing the assistance of our customer service staff.

A 1300 number is not the only means by which our contractors and potential contractors can get in touch. We also have live chat on our web site - a first for the industry, new contractors can register immediately online and they can stay in touch through the contractor's portal. Beyond that, we keep our pricing structure simple and there are no hidden joining fees, break fees or salary packaging fees. Just a 3% flat rate.

We have all the relevant insurances and provide you with the certificates of currency upon the commencement of contracts. And coming soon will be the recruiter's portal. Agencies will be able to view their contractor's details including their completed and non completed timesheets to enable cross reference between actual completed time and submitted time.

Ultimately, we deliver on what we promise. We pay all our superannuation and taxes on time! We're easy to get along with and we offer a value for money professional service to your contractors. If you feel that we might be a good fit, feel free to get in touch.
