You need trainers who can engage learners, compliance officers who understand ASQA, and administrators who know the rhythm of an academic calendar.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about our education recruitment services.
How quickly can you fill a role?
For urgent temporary or contract roles, we can typically present qualified candidates within 24-48 hours. Permanent placements usually take 2-4 weeks depending on the role's seniority and specialisation. We maintain an active database of 30,000+ pre-vetted education professionals ready to deploy.
Do your candidates have the right qualifications?
Yes. All trainers and assessors hold current TAE qualifications (TAE40122 or TAE40116) plus relevant vocational competencies. We check all credentials, working with children checks, and industry currency before presenting any candidate. Our compliance team ensures every placement meets ASQA and TEQSA requirements.
What's the difference between contract and temporary recruitment?
Contract and temporary recruitment both provide flexible workforce solutions, but they serve different business needs. Contract recruitment is ideal for securing specialist talent for a defined period, often linked to a specific project or deliverable, with the contractor typically engaged full-time for the duration of the assignment. Temporary recruitment, on the other hand, offers short-term support to cover fluctuations in workload, staff absences, or peak periods, allowing employers to scale quickly without a long-term commitment. Both models give organisations the agility to access skilled professionals when they need them most, while managing cost and workforce capacity effectively.
Do you recruit for non-training roles?
Absolutely. While trainers and assessors are our bread and butter, we also place compliance officers, student support staff, administrators, enrolment officers, learning designers, and executive leadership. If it's an education sector role, we recruit for it.
What industries do your trainers cover?
Our trainers hold vocational competencies across construction, health, aged care, community services, business, hospitality, automotive, IT, and more. We match industry experience with your specific training package requirements.
What are your fees?
Our fees vary depending on the engagement type. Contract and temporary placements are charged as an hourly or daily rate that includes all employment costs. Permanent placements are typically a percentage of the annual salary. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific needs.
