Permanent Recruitment
There are no hidden costs involved in our permanent recruitment process, only a flat fee is charged should someone be placed in a permanent position at your company.
Our permanent recruitment process begins with understanding the skill level and certifications our client requires through an introductory phone call. Then, we thoroughly screen potential candidates and arrange interviews for suitability. We notify our clients every step of the way to ensure they are receiving the right workers for their projects.

Employer FAQs
Are There Any Other Costs Involved?
No. The rate which is provided to you covers it all.
Do The Staff Provided Have Experience?
Yes. All staff provided by Hort Staff have a minimum of 1-2 years experience in the Horticulture Industry or other relevant industries such as Arboriculture or Construction/Labouring.
Can Qualified Staff Be Provided If I Need Them?
Yes. In the event that you require an experienced Labourer, Horticulturalist or Landscaper, contact us so that a suitable Trade Qualified staff member can be arranged. The more notice the better as this level of skill is generally booked in advance and not at last minute. So let us know what your projects are so the right person can be arranged for the right job.
What If I Don’t Like The Person Who Is Arranged?
If for any reason you are not satisfied with the staff member arranged, please give us a call immediately so that an alternative staff member can be sent to you. Please advise the unwanted staff member that they are unsuitable and are to leave the site. If you have had the unsuitable staff member work with you for the first part of the day, we will offer you a 4 hour guarantee whereby the first 4 hours of the day will be at no charge to your business. We want you to know that we won’t let you down and we value your business.
Do I Need To Provide The Staff Member With Any PPE?
No. All staff have been made aware of the need to have appropriate PPE on site and will have their own. In the event that there are any specific site requirements or items to be worn then please advise Hort Staff at the time of booking so that this can be arranged in advance.
What Are The Minimum Hours A Staff Member Can Work?
8 hours is the minimum work day as we like to make it worth the staff member’s time. Occasionally, staff members can be offered an 8 hour day elsewhere, so it is ensuring that they are looked after as well as your business.
What Happens If It Rains?
If wet weather is forecast, all staff prior to leaving their home are advised to contact the Foreman from your business, who has been provided to Hort Staff at the time of booking, to enquire if works are to go ahead for the day given the weather circumstances. If the staff member is advised to continue on to the work site and work is cancelled upon arrival, then your business will be charged 1 hour so that the costs can be covered for the staff member. In the event work commences and is then needed to be cancelled, a minimum of 4 hours will be charged in order to cover the staff member’s costs and time.
What If I Need The Staff Member To Work More Than 8 Hours?
If a staff member is required to work more than 8 hours, overtime rates will apply on any hours worked over 10 hours and will be as per the rates supplied to you.
Do I Need To Pay Travel Costs?
In the event that a project is not in a central location of Sydney and is in a remote area, then a travel allowance will be charged to cover the staff member’s travel costs and will be discussed upon booking.
