Startup recruitment agency FAQs
What software do I need to start a recruitment agency in Australia?
At a minimum, you'll need a CRM to manage candidates and clients, payroll and invoicing if you're placing temps or contractors, compliant onboarding, a recruitment website, and some form of outreach automation.
Access Recruitment covers all of this in one platform built for Australian and New Zealand compliance requirements from day one, including PAYG, STP Phase 2, superannuation and VEVO checks.
Can I start a recruitment agency from home using Access Recruitment?
Yes. Access Recruitment is cloud-based, so you can run your entire start-up recruitment agency from wherever you work. Whether it be from your home office, co-working space, or on the road. There's no hardware to install, no IT team required, and no difference in what you can do whether you're a solo recruiter or a growing team across multiple locations.
Does Access Recruitment work for temp and contract agencies?
It's built for it. Temp and labour hire agencies have some of the most complex operational requirements in recruitment: shift-based timesheets, award interpretation, high-volume onboarding, VEVO and WWCC checks, and payroll that needs to be right every single week.
Access Recruitment handles all of this, with pay and bill functionality designed specifically for the Australian and New Zealand market, including STP Phase 2 compliance and modern award interpretation.
Is Access Recruitment's software suitable for a one-person agency?
Yes. It's designed to give a solo recruiter the operational capacity of a much larger team. Automated outreach, AI-powered candidate matching, digital onboarding, and a built-in recruitment website mean you can run a professional, compliant agency without needing back-office support. You only pay for what you need, and the platform grows with you as your agency does.
How quickly can I get set up?
Most agencies are up and running faster than they expect. Access Recruitment is cloud-based with no complex infrastructure to configure, and our APAC-based onboarding team works with you to get your CRM, payroll, and compliance workflows live as quickly as possible.
