Overview
Recruitment Agencies in Australia
A recruitment agency carries a brutal cash-flow shape, especially on temp and contract desks. You pay your contractors weekly, but the client pays you on 30, 45 or even 60-day terms. Every active temp on your books is wages you have already paid, sitting in an unpaid invoice. Perm placements are better, but they come with rebate clauses and slow-paying clients of their own.
Across a crowded national field of agencies, the constraint on growth is rarely demand — it is funding the gap between paying your contractors and getting paid by your clients. Add a few large temp assignments and the wage bill can outrun the bank account fast. The agencies that scale are the ones who solve the cash gap, not just win more roles.
What recruitment agencies are up against
- Contractors and temps are paid weekly, but clients pay on 30 to 60-day terms — every active placement is cash you have already laid out.
- Winning a big temp assignment can balloon your weekly wage bill before a single invoice is paid.
- Perm placements carry rebate periods, so a candidate who leaves early can claw back fees you already counted as earned.
- Specialist consultants are expensive and mobile, and losing a desk can take key client relationships out the door with them.

Common questions
Recruitment Agencies — questions Australian owners ask
Why do growing recruitment agencies run short of cash?
Because growth makes the wage gap bigger, not smaller. More temps placed means a larger weekly payroll funded out of your own pocket while you wait 30 to 60 days for clients to pay. The faster you grow, the more cash the gap ties up.
Is contract recruitment harder on cash flow than perm?
Usually yes. Temp and contract desks mean weekly wage outlays against slow client terms, so the funding gap is constant. Perm fees are lumpier but you are not carrying a payroll, so many agencies run a mix to balance the cash flow.
How do agencies fund a sudden run of placements?
Often through invoice finance or a working-capital line that advances against unpaid placement invoices. It turns a winning month from a cash-flow crisis into a fundable one, so you can say yes to the assignment instead of declining it.
