Terms and conditions

If a company hires a job seeker sourced from SkillsRobin, payment for the job seeker will apply.

The amount is dependent on the time commitment of the job.

Fees are charged at the full-time rate, if the the job seeker is filling a role where they are expected to work 35 hours or more per week on an ongoing basis and the contract does not end within 30 days of the start date.

Fees are charged at the part-time, casual, freelance and short-term rate, if the job seeker is filling a role where they are expected to work less than 35 hours per week on an ongoing basis or the employment contract ends within 30 days of the start date.

In the event a job seeker transitions from a part-time, casual, freelance and/or short-term role to a full-time role within 40 days of starting work with the employer, the position will be charged at the full-time rate and an invoice for the difference issued.

Entry level candidates are charged at the same rate, whether it is for a full-time, part-time or casual role. A candidate is defined as entry level if they have less than 1 year of professional work experience in the field.

Referral fees are issued in two instalments. The first instalment is due when the job seeker commences work with the employer (the job start date).
