Labour Hire vs Recruitment Agency
They sound the same but work differently.
Labour Hire
Workers are employed BY the agency. You pay an hourly rate to the agency. Agency handles payroll, super, workers comp. Workers can be temporary — no long-term commitment from you.
Recruitment Agency (Permanent Placement)
Agency finds candidates, you hire them directly. One-off placement fee (10-20% of salary). Workers become your employees with all entitlements.
