Often contract/temp staffing forces a trade-off. We don't think it should.

Australian businesses choosing a recruitment partner usually pick between scale, speed, cost or care.

#TheHinchenWay

Our bespoke assessment program doesn't get shortcut for temp or contract.

Whoever you're weighing us up against below, our assessment stays the same. Every candidate goes through the full Hinchen Way process, whether they're joining you for a week or a year. Temp and contract roles don't mean candidates are tested any less.

Skills & competency testing

Role-specific testing before anyone is shortlisted, not after they've started.

Verified references

Checked and confirmed for every placement, temp and contract included.

Right-to-work verification

Confirmed before day one, every time, no exceptions for short assignments.

Structured interview

A real conversation about the role and the person, not a resume scan.

Sector-specific screening

Extra checks for regulated industries like government, finance and aged care.

Behavioural fit check

We assess for the team and the culture, not just the task list.

With that in mind, here's how the market typically splits, and where Hinchen sits.

Other Agencies
What We Do

Enterprise Staffing Firms

Scale over continuity

  • Large national temp pools & MSP programs
  • Generalist account teams
  • Consultants rotate through your account
  • Compliance-heavy but impersonal

Gig-Matching Apps

Cheap, self-service

  • Fast for casual, low-skill shifts
  • Little human vetting depth
  • Quality varies shift to shift
  • Weak fit for regulated or specialist roles

Local White-Collar Agencies

Broad, but shallow

  • Solid coverage of general admin & clerical roles
  • QLD-wide footprint
  • Thin depth in finance, ICT & government niches
  • Limited candidate development

Our Areas of Expertise

Our consultants specialise by sector, so the person shortlisting your admin coordinator understands the role as well as your accounting or technology temp.

03

Confirm & onboard

Client Testimonials

We have had an excellent experience using Louisa and her recruitment agency to source volume temporary staff. The quality of the temps provided was exceptional. The candidates were reliable, hardworking, professional and, most importantly, a great fit for our business. When you are looking for volume staff, finding the right people can be challenging, but Louisa made the entire process easy and stress-free. Her communication and understanding of our staffing requirements were fantastic, and she delivered a very high standard of candidates. I would highly recommend Louisa and her team to any business looking for quality temporary staff, particularly if you need to recruit in volume. We will definitely be using their services again.

Louisa and the team are exceptional to work with, we've had some great candidates through their network and the communication and customer service is second to none.

Jonathan B. CFO
We partnered with Hinchen Recruitment Group to support a large-scale temporary recruitment project across our contact centre operations, and they delivered an excellent result. Despite the volume and tight timeframes, we never felt that candidate quality was compromised. The Hinchen team took the time to understand our business, our culture and what makes someone successful in our contact centre environment. The candidates presented were well screened, well briefed and genuinely suited to the roles. What stood out was their ability to move quickly while maintaining a consistently high standard. They built and maintained a strong candidate pipeline, kept us informed throughout the process and were highly responsive when our requirements or volumes changed. They also remained actively involved after commencement, supporting both our leaders and temporary employees and addressing any issues quickly. Hinchen Recruitment Group felt like an extension of our internal team rather than an external recruitment supplier. They understood the pressures of volume recruitment and gave us confidence that we could scale our workforce quickly without lowering the bar on quality. I would highly recommend Hinchen Recruitment Group for high-volume temp projects, particularly where service and quality were fundamental to your needs.

Contract & Temp recruitment, explained.

For most roles we deliver a shortlist within 24–48 hours from our pre-screened Australia-wide database. Urgent, same-week cover is standard practice, not an exception.

Temp staff cover short-notice gaps such as leave or peak periods, paid weekly through Hinchen. Temp-to-perm lets you trial someone before offering permanency. Contract staffing covers a defined project or fixed term, often for specialist roles.

Administration, Accounting & Finance, ICT, Contact Centre, Government, Not-for-Profit, Insurance, Sales & Marketing, HR and Project Management, plus Engineering and Executive Search on a contract basis.

Yes, every client and every temp works with one dedicated consultant from the first conversation through to placement and ongoing check-ins.

Every temp is reference-checked and screened for role-specific requirements before their first day, with payroll, superannuation and entitlements managed correctly and on time.
