Flexible Permanent Placement

Skillforce Recruitment’s flexible permanent placement option gives employers another way to manage the cost of hiring a permanent employee. It combines a targeted recruitment process with an agreed fee arrangement designed around the vacancy and your business requirements.

The successful candidate is employed directly by your organisation. Skillforce manages the search, screening and shortlist, while the recruitment fee structure and payment timing are confirmed in writing before work begins.

Targeted Recruitment

We build the search around the experience, responsibilities and workplace fit your vacancy requires.

Flexible Fee Options

Ask about an agreed payment arrangement that may reduce the impact of one large upfront recruitment cost.

Direct Employment

Your organisation employs the successful candidate directly and retains control of the employment relationship.

1. Discuss the vacancy: We confirm the position, responsibilities, experience, salary range, location and preferred start date.
2. Agree the recruitment terms: The search scope, fee arrangement, payment timing and any applicable replacement conditions are documented before commencement.
3. Search and screen: We identify suitable candidates and assess them against the agreed requirements.
4. Review and interview: You receive relevant candidate information and decide who you would like to meet.
5. Offer and commencement: We assist with communication through the offer, acceptance and start-date stages.

Flexible arrangements are considered individually and are subject to agreed written terms. Before the search starts, we explain the recruitment fee, payment schedule and any conditions that apply. Your organisation remains responsible for the employee’s salary, superannuation and other employment obligations.

This option may suit an employer that needs a permanent hire but prefers to plan recruitment costs over an agreed period. It can also help when you are expanding a team, managing several vacancies or filling a position that requires a more targeted candidate search.

Our Perth team keeps the process practical and transparent so you can compare the flexible arrangement with our standard permanent placement service before deciding what works best for your business.

Call or email Skillforce Recruitment to discuss the vacancy and available fee arrangements.
