We’re breaking the recruitment mould.
Instead of large upfront fees, payments are spread over six months to reduce pressure and risk.
We connect you directly with candidates to discuss salary openly, without inflated commissions.
No middlemen, no unnecessary markups…
Just honest conversations and better-fit outcomes.
What makes Ethical Tick Recruitment different
A Payment Model That Makes Sense
Direct introductions to candidates

We don’t believe in large upfront fees for uncertain outcomes.
12 % on base salary + GST
10 % on base salary + GST for Ethical Tick Members
Instead, our payment structure is aligned with the success of the placement:
- 12.5% at contract signing
- 12.5% at commencement
- 12.5% each month across the 6-month probation period
Simple, transparent, and built around getting it right.

Direct introductions to candidates
We identify candidates who align with your role, your team, and your values.
Then we introduce you directly.
No back-and-forth negotiations.
No unnecessary layers.
No delays.
Just a conversation between you and the candidate to decide if it’s the right fit.
We Focus on Fit Before Fees

We Focus on Fit Before Fees
Traditional agencies are built around placement targets.
We’re built around alignment.
We don’t rush to fill roles or push candidates just to close a deal. We focus on whether it’s the right fit… for your team, your culture, and your participants.
Because getting it right once is better than replacing it twice.
How Can We Charge Less?
A Better Question Is: Why Doesn't Everyone?
Why pay more for the same outcome?
Traditional recruitment agencies often charge fees based on the total remuneration package, including superannuation, bonuses, sign-on incentives, and company vehicles.
Ethical Tick Recruitment takes a different approach.
We calculate our fee on base salary only and spread payments across the probation period, making recruitment more affordable and cash-flow friendly.
The question we are often asked is: "How can you do this?"
Our response is simple: "Why not?"
Why does recruitment have to conform to an industry model that increases costs for employers simply because it has always been done that way?
We believe recruitment should be transparent, fair, and aligned with the realities of running a business.
Rather than maximising our fee, we focus on delivering the right candidate, the right cultural fit, and the right long-term outcome for both employer and employee.
In this example alone, a provider could save more than $11,000 while still accessing high-quality, values-aligned candidates.
That's recruitment built on transparency, flexibility, and long-term partnerships, not inflated fees and upfront invoices.
