Full service. Flat fee.

Less Than You've Been Paying.

More Than You've Been Getting.

$5,500 for any permanent role under $100k.

Every step. No shortcuts. No percentage.

Full Service Means Full Service.

Full Service Means Full Service.

Flat fee doesn't mean a cheaper version of recruitment. It means the same rigorous process, without the inflated margin on top. Here is what is included in every engagement:

Role Scoping

What does success look like at 90 days? What went wrong last time? What are the actual conditions of this role? Most agencies skip this. We consider it the most important step.

Job Advertising

Targeted advertising on the right platforms. Written to attract the right person, not just generate volume.

Headhunting

We actively approach people not on the job boards. The best candidates are usually already employed. We go and find them.

Database + Networks

We search our existing talent database and professional networks. Your role benefits from 18 years of relationships, not just what's active on SEEK this week.

LinkedIn + Social

Direct LinkedIn outreach and social media advertising where the role demands it. Multi-channel search, not a single ad post.

Screening + Interviews

We interview every candidate we present. We probe the work history. You only meet people worth meeting.

Psychology-Based Interviews

Not just "tell me about yourself." We use structured, psychology-based interviewing to understand how a candidate actually thinks, decides, and performs under pressure.

Personality Matching

We assess how each candidate will work with your specific leadership team. Communication style. Values alignment. Decision-making approach. Skills get someone the job. Personality determines whether they fit.

Reference Checks

Real reference checks. We speak to people who have actually managed the candidate and ask the questions that reveal the full picture.

Offer Management

We manage the offer conversation and handle counteroffers. We make sure your preferred candidate accepts and starts.

Onboarding Handover

We hand them over properly, with context and documentation, so they start well and stay longer.

Who this is for

Is This Right For You?

For you

  • You're an owner, director, or ops manager responsible for permanent hiring.

  • You want the full search process, headhunting, database, LinkedIn, not just an ad post.

  • You want the cost confirmed upfront, before anyone starts.

  • You've used a percentage-fee agency before and want a better model.

  • You work in blue collar, industrial, operational, or any other industry. We recruit them all.

  • You want one consistent contact who understands your business, not a new consultant every time.

Not for you

  • You need labour hire, casual, or temp-to-perm arrangements. We do permanent roles only.

  • You want volume CVs with no curation.

  • You need a role filled in 24 hours with no process. We'd rather say that upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Is $5,500 really the full fee?

Yes. $5,500 for any permanent role under $100k. $10,500 over $100k.

Paid in three milestones. No percentage. No extras.

You know the number before we start.

How do you make money at that price?

We run lean. No commission structures. No sales team behind the recruiter.

We've built the process to be efficient without cutting corners.

Lower overhead. Flat fee passed directly to you. That's the model.

You're a new business, why should I trust you?

Disruptive Recruitment is new. The people running it are not.

Lezly Kaye - 18 years. Trained at Hays. 100,000+ placements. 8x world records.

Laki Mafi - 20+ years operational leadership. 9.5 years military service.

The business is new. The process has 18 years of runs on the board.

We already use an agency, why switch?

You don't have to switch. Just compare.

If they're charging 15-20% - on an $80k role that's $12,000–$16,000.

We charge $5,500. Same full process.

The 20-minute call will show you exactly what that looks like for your next hire.

What's included in the fee?

Everything. Job brief, advertising, headhunting, database and network search, LinkedIn, social media advertising, structured screening, psychology-based interviews, personality matching, reference checks, offer management, and onboarding handover. No steps removed because you're paying less.

What if the placement doesn't work out?

We recruit again at no additional fee.

No re-billing. No new brief fee. We go again.

Do you only work in mining and blue collar?

No. That's where much of our depth sits, but we recruit any permanent role in any industry across any Australian state. Receptionists to CEOs. The role type doesn't drive our process. The job description does.

Know the cost before you start.

20 Minutes. No Pitch.

We'll tell you exactly how we'd approach your next hire and what it would cost.

No obligation. Straight answers.
