FAQs
What does Chandler Macleod recruit for?
We recruit professional, technical and leadership roles across accounting and finance, engineering, human resources, business support, projects, procurement and supply chain, health and safety, sales and marketing, legal, and executive search. We work with commercial, government and not-for-profit organisations, placing permanent, contract and executive appointments.
Do you provide payroll services for contractors?
Yes. If you have already found someone, we can payroll them for you. That covers employment contracts, payroll processing, timesheet management, award interpretation, superannuation and workforce compliance. It is a common option for organisations who want to engage a contractor without adding to headcount or managing the administration themselves.
What is the difference between contract and permanent recruitment?
A permanent placement means the person is employed directly by you on an ongoing basis. A contract placement means they work for you for a defined period but are employed and paid by us, and we handle payroll, superannuation and compliance. Contract suits project work, parental leave cover and periods where you need capability without a permanent commitment.
What is BestFit™?
BestFit™ is our methodology for assessing candidates against three questions: can they do the job, will they do the job, and will they fit your organisation. Every Chandler Macleod consultant is BestFit™ accredited and it applies to every brief we take, combining structured behavioural interviewing with capability assessment. Formal psychometric assessment is available as an addition where it is useful.
Do you offer psychometric assessment?
Yes. Chandler Macleod Consulting is our in-house team of qualified organisational psychologists, which makes us one of the only large recruiters in Australia offering this without a third party. We usually recommend using assessment to support onboarding and management rather than to select between candidates, because that is where it adds the most value.
How long does it take to fill a role?
It depends on the role and the market, but for most professional roles we provide a shortlist within five to ten business days. For urgent or high volume needs we can move faster.
