Review what is included, see how it compares to the alternative, and get started below.

What a Traditional Agency Costs You

$20K

Typical agency fees range from 15%-25% of salary ($15K-$25K on a $100K role). You get a candidate. No system. No documentation. Back to square one next hire.

Universal HR Flat Fee

$9,995

+ GST - fixed. No percentage. No surprises.

Roles with base salaries $60K - $100K

Compared to typical agency fees on a $100K role ($15K-$25K), you save $5,000-$15,000 on this hire alone. Every hire after this one costs you nothing – you already own the system.

What this covers

Full end-to-end recruitment support
Complete hiring toolkit you keep and reuse
Pre-employment checks included
Offer negotiation and employment contract
Ongoing support through probation
Fair Work compliance built in at every step

Everything Included

What the $9,995 Flat Fee Covers

Full Hiring Toolkit

Custom job ad copy, interview questionnaires, scorecards, email templates, offer letters, and onboarding checklists. Documented and repeatable - you own it and use it for every future hire.

End-to-End Recruitment Support

Ad placement, active candidate sourcing (we do not just post on SEEK and wait), resume screening, candidate coordination, and interview scheduling handled for you.

Pre-Employment Checks

Psychometric testing, structured reference checks, police check and medical coordination where relevant to the role. Risk managed before an offer is made.

Offer Negotiation and Employment Contract

We manage the offer conversation and issue the employment contract. Fair Work compliant. No additional legal fees or template hunting required.

Probation Period Support

Ongoing support during the probation period so you can identify and act quickly if a new hire is not tracking. You are not left alone once the offer is accepted.

Fair Work Compliance Built In

Every step - from advertising to interviewing to contracts - aligned with Fair Work guidelines and HR best practice. No compliance gaps left for you to discover later.

Common Questions at This Stage

Before You Submit

What if the hire does not work out?

We follow a rigorous vetting process - structured interviews, cultural fit assessments, reference checks, and psychometric testing where relevant. Because we also build you a probation review framework, you will know within 30-60 days if someone is not tracking. And you will have the tools to manage it confidently and compliantly - without starting from scratch or paying another fee.

What if I am not happy with the candidates presented?

We do not move to interview stage until you are confident in the shortlist. If the initial candidates do not land, we refine the brief and source again. Candidate quality is non-negotiable - we would rather take longer and get it right than present warm bodies to hit a deadline.

How long does the process take?

Typically 3-6 weeks from kick-off to offer accepted, depending on role complexity and market conditions. If your situation is urgent, flag it in the form below and we will discuss what is realistic on your consultation call. We move fast because we are not juggling 20 other clients simultaneously.

My role salary is above $100K - does this still work?

The flat fee is designed for roles with base salaries between $60K and $100K. For senior or specialist roles above this range, we assess scope on your consultation call and provide custom pricing. Transparency is non-negotiable - if a flat fee does not serve you, we will say so and explain what does.
