Value Add for Employers hiring and retaining Contractors

Share this post

Hiring contractors shouldn’t be hard work. At Sense Recruitment, we’ve spent over 17 years refining a service that makes it easy, low risk and great value for employers across the technology, corporate and executive sectors.

From onboarding to payroll, compliance to contractor care, we deliver a full service solution that gives your business flexibility and confidence. Without the admin burden. Here’s how.

1. Seamless Onboarding and Setup

We handle the entire onboarding process so you can stay focused on business. As soon as you’ve selected your preferred contractor, we manage:

  • Employment contracts and engagement type
  • ID verification and compliance documentation
  • Super, tax and bank account setup
  • System access to online timesheets via Astute

We offer PAYG and Pty Ltd contracting models depending on your needs and the contractor’s setup.

2. Fortnightly Payroll. No Service Charges to Contractors

Sense Recruitment processes payroll every second Tuesday based on manager approved timesheets submitted by the contractor.

We’ve successfully managed over $180 million in contractor payroll to date, with zero workers compensation or insurance claims in almost 18 years of operation. You can be confident your contractors are in safe, experienced hands.

We do not charge our contractors any service fees or admin deductions. What you approve is what they receive. And we look after the rest.

All PAYG contractors placed through Sense are fully insured. Including:

  • Public Liability Insurance ($20M)

  • Professional Indemnity Insurance ($10M)

  • Workers Compensation (or equivalent)

  • Superannuation paid at 12 percent from July 2025

3. Contractor Perks That Improve Retention

Our partnership with Flare HR gives your contractors access to exclusive benefits. Boosting satisfaction and engagement on the job.

Contractors receive:

  • Discounts on groceries, retail, electronics, fuel and travel
  • Salary packaging options including novated leasing and portable electronics
  • A user friendly mobile app for benefits access

Popular discount partners include:

  • Woolworths – 3 percent off

  • Kmart – 5 percent off

  • Dan Murphy’s – 5 percent off

  • Rebel – 7 percent off

  • BCF – 8 percent off

  • Myer – 5 percent off

  • JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Coles, Airbnb and more

These cost you nothing as the client, but give contractors real savings in their day to day lives. It’s a simple way to enhance their experience and improve engagement without increasing pay rates.

4. Support Throughout the Assignment

We don’t place and disappear. Our team stays connected with each contractor throughout their assignment, offering:

  • Onboarding support
  • Payroll and compliance guidance
  • Regular check ins and wellbeing support
  • End of contract planning and redeployment opportunities

This proactive care helps reduce early exits, improve performance and deliver better outcomes for your projects.

5. Safety and Site Readiness

Before starting, contractors are fully inducted into your policies, systems and safety protocols. We support:

  • Health and safety onboarding
  • Incident reporting and escalation
  • Candidate welfare and feedback pathways

Your risk is reduced. And contractors arrive informed and ready.

6. Trusted Referrals That Deliver

Over the years, we’ve built a strong referral network that brings in high calibre candidates who are recommended and vouched for by people we trust. It’s how we maintain quality. And fill roles faster.
