What is Labour Hire?\u200b<\/span><\/h1>\n

Labour hire is the provision of temporary or contract staff by a third party company to another company. It is a common arrangement in Australia, used across a range of industries. The labour hire company is responsible for finding, screening and hiring employees, and then supplying them to the client company as needed. Labour hire can be used for both temporary and permanent positions and full-time or part-time work.<\/p>\n

A common practice in many industries in Australia, it can be a useful way for companies to staff up for specific projects or periods of high demand. It can also be used to fill vacancies in permanent positions, for which the company will usually be charged a one-off fee.<\/p>\n
