Our Self-Find Contractor Fee Structure

The Recruitment Hive’s Self-find fee structure is designed to allow our Federal Government clients a recruitment mechanism to leverage their most powerful recruitment advantage: the professional networks of their incumbent teams of technology specialists.
Internal hire recommendations produce better outcomes and, when coupled with The Recruitment Hive’s Self-Find fee structure, are acquired at a lower cost to the Federal Government.

Our Self-find fee structure is designed specifically so client-recommended ICT contractors can be considered, at a reduced rate, as a part of a formal, competitive and merit based tender process.

Higher quality at lower costs. Now that’s a significant benefit for the Australian economy.

Canberrability.® We've got it.

Since 2012 we’ve worked hard to ‘bring back the trust’ in our efforts to make Federal Government ICT contracting in Canberra more cooperative, empathetic and respectful.

In 2018, we were the first to banish opportunism from contractor fee margins by proactively disclosing our contractor rate card. We sought to build trusting and mutually beneficial professional relationships to assist the Federal Government deliver technology solutions that improve the lives of all Australians while making heroes out of the ICT Legends whom we represent.

In 2022, we established fully paid Long Service Leave as ‘best-practice’ for long-term Federal Government ICT contractors. This is in accordance with legislated employer obligations. By recognising our employer obligations to long-term Federal Government ICT contractors we are committed to ensuring that Australia’s most valuable workers are not denied their legislated rights.

So, you want access to the best ICT Legends available?

Security clearances.

In a recent snapshot of our currently employed ICT Contractors, 93% held AGSVA security clearances (51% BASELINE, 26% NV1, 12% NV2, 4% other). Recruitment Hive is a current member of the Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) and able to sponsor AGSVA security clearances.

Why does Recruitment Hive provide paid Long Service Leave to ICT Contractors?

We see casual employment, and long service leave (LSL), as ‘best recruitment (labour-hire) practice’ for long-term federal government ICT contractors.
