1. When Fees Apply
A placement fee is payable to SkillsRobin when an employer hires a job seeker who was sourced through SkillsRobin, regardless of employment type or hours.
2. Fee Structure by Employment Type
The applicable fee is determined by the nature and expected duration of the role at the time of placement:
Short-term / Low-hours Part-time Roles — where the candidate is expected to work less than 20 hours a week, or the contract is for less than 3 months:
Part-time roles — where the candidate is expected to work 20–30 hours a week and the contract is for more than 3 months:
Full-time roles — where the candidate is expected to work 31+ hours a week and the contract is for more than 3 months:
3. Early-Stage Startup Discount
A 25% discount applies to the fees outlined in Section 2 where the hiring startup has raised less than $100,000 in total funding and has annual recurring revenue (ARR) of less than $100,000. This discount applies to both instalments.
4. Payment Schedule
Fees are issued in two equal instalments:
If the job seeker leaves or is dismissed within six months of commencing employment, the second instalment is waived and no further payment will be due.
5. Refund Policy
SkillsRobin will issue a full refund of the first instalment if the job seeker leaves or is dismissed within 30 days of commencing employment, or before the end date of a fixed-term contract, whichever period is shorter. The second instalment is not subject to refund under any circumstances.
6. Role Transitions
If a job seeker transitions to a higher-fee tier (as defined in Section 2) within 60 days of commencing work with the employer, the placement will be reclassified and charged at the rate applicable to the new tier. An invoice for the difference between the originally invoiced amount and the new rate will be issued at the time of transition.
If, at the six-month employment mark, a job seeker transitions from one tier to another (for example, from full-time to part-time, or from short-term/low-hours to full-time), the employer will be liable to pay the placement fee applicable to the tier the job seeker is engaged in at that point. This reclassified fee replaces the second instalment outlined in Section 4, and an invoice will be issued for the applicable amount at the time of transition.
